Lots of hype

by ZachOnSkis at Citysearch

Not sure where to start since it's all so horrible. Service, food and even their famous drink is bad bad bad!!

When I went with friends the doors were left open and a lot of flies had checked in for the season and were attacking all the of sticky tables and furniture. I know flies come in without an invitation... but if the staff and management actually cared and cleaned up it would probably not be a fly colony.

When we tried to change tables our server was MIA. Food runners just dropped off the drinks and food and ran off (probably scared of the flies attacking them). Maybe they want you to be so drunk you don't notice how bad it is. The whole experience was not pleasant. We would have done better at a fast food joint and paid less.

In this economy there are better places to spend your hard earned $$!

• Pros: Good PR since it's a chain
• Cons: Bad everything

The best Margaritas!

by davenan at Citysearch

My favorite Margaritas hands down! On the rocks is best. Quite sweet but balanced with almost the perfect amount of sour. And that strength. I crashed my bicycle after three (and jello shooters down the street) but it was worth it, dammit. The food is good, not very memorable but they contrast well with the Margartias. I recommend going to the 3 Margarita limit, then switch to Carta Blanca. The downside (there has to be a downside)? You will never love another kind of Margarita again.

• Pros: Margaritas, Chips, Margritas
• Cons: Crowded, Hard to get a drink
