Parking will only validate 1.5 hrs even tough so many space on Friday night. I still paid extra $8 from 4-8pm. would be nice if it’s completely free. It’s not busy at all. We went for happy hour , food is good but margarita is bad. We didn’t finish ours. We order old fashioned from regular menu which is $25 , it’s good but on the high side.

The ambience and the service were great. The red beans were undercooked though. I look forward to that most at a Mexican restaurant.

Food has changed from when they first opened… rice taste hard boiled, taco prices are for ONE small taco, says large but it’s not. Rice and beans are $4 to add…barbacoa is very fatty and could not eat. Don’t waste your time. Go to South of Nick’s.
