I went with about 15 friends for my birthday a few weeks ago and it was horrible!! The food was cold and had a BBQ flavor to it. I'm not sure if they were going for a chipotle style but whatever it was, it didn't work. They assigned us one waitor for the whole group which is not enough for 15 with drinks and dinner.

The only plus was the patio. Its really nice and there was a live bad playing which gave it a true island like feel. I would only go if i was with a small group going strictly for drinks.

Great food, awesome drinks - Margharitas rock! Live three piece band added to the relaxed and casual atmosphere. Felt like I could have been by the beach (not Richmond Avenue) Going again tonight - two days in a row.

As always, I love the atmosphere at this restaurant. The food is very interesting with a lot of seafood based mexican food. They have the traditional as well but I love the seagood enchiladas.

If you go, sit outside. It's been redone and they have a waterfall. It really feels like you're in Mexico!

in which everyone Knows about! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston. Three years ago a friend took me there on a Sunday when I was going through some major personal issues. I was timid about entering this restaurant because of the outside ...but boy was I wrong. Now everyone there knows my name! The best patio in Houston (when you can stand the heat). The top shelf margaritas are what I consider the best in Houston; however, don't expect to pay $2 for these during Happy Hour. The only thing I don't care for is the green salsa - I don't like my salsa sweet other than that the food is superb! The fish dishes and vegetables are very fresh. This is also a great place to take a new girlfriend, of course wait until the sun goes down. Excellent restaurant and the valet is an extremely nice guy. If you haven't notice I love restaurants that the staff goes to the trouble of remembering your name. It's not quite Cheers but can salute one another with the margaritas!

If not, this is a great place to try one. They have a great setup in the side yard of the restaurant perfect for a breezy Houston day. Wait until the weather cools off, gather some friends, and plan to stay for a couple hours in their cabanas full of pillows and sheilded from the sun. The staff is great about refilling drinks often, and the prices aren't outrageous.

PROS: Great drinks, good food, fun place
CONS: Parking is terrible
