There are 3 of these restaurants, but I have only been to this one on Sunset, and it has amazing food and inexpensive and huge margaritas. This place is a must, as it is very inexpensive and has top notch food. The decor looks like Tijuana chic, but it fits, as does the traditional Mexican music. Often there is also a mariachi that comes around. I want to try this place with a bigger party, because the food portions are huge, and delicious. I highly recommend it. And it always fun to see someone making tortillas fresh in front of you.

There is a small parking lot on the same side of the street up 1 building, and you get a ticket and they stamp it.

They give you chips and 2 salsas and be sure to try a margarita as they are huge for $4.50. We didn't try the guacamole, but I hear it is quite tasty.

Kelly and I ordered the Molcajete Azteca, which is a huge bowl made out of what looks volcanic rock, a pumice stone mortar, that keeps the ingredients still boiling even while you eat. We got one with beef and chicken and cactus, and green onions, huge chunks of panela cheese and a dark sauce, and it comes with plates of rice, and tortillas to make your own burritos with. It actually reminds me of a fajitas, but much more interesting with more flavors going on. This is delicious!!!!

They also have a lot of seafood which sounds quite good as well.

Great food, good service, and a fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place.
