Mezcal margaritas were great! Service and the lobster tacos were worth the hefty price

The rocks watermelon margarita was the best on this hot day! The service was friendly and attentive. The salsa was legit.... The team took fantastic care of us. There seemed to be two cooks and 1 server. She knocked it out of the park. Pulled pork quesadilla for the win. This was a stunning find for us as we visited a different location closer to the convention center back in 2018... Will be back for sure.Respectfully,BryanOklahoma City

We were walking the French market on a late Saturday morning and saw their signs out front. The drinks sounded good and we weren't ready for lunch but gave it a shot.It doesn't look like much from the outside but once you step inside, it's a really cool place. What we found was a hidden gem. The girls inside were very nice and sat us on the back enclosed patio. That patio is small but an old brick enclosed patio that you have to believe is hundreds of years old. Made us wonder what it was used for.They brought us really good chips and homemade salsa as we decided what to drink. I had the traditional strawberry margarita and my wife had her first Mojito ever. These drinks were so unbelievably good. We also decided to try to rue queso fundido. Truly a smart choice on our part. That queso rocked our world, it was so delicious!Overall this place more than earned their five with their service, incredible food and just cool restaurant!

Left my plastic bag filled with a Box of leftovers. Went back in less than five minutes later and they had thrown it away. Seriously? If you see a to go bag of leftovers, put it aside for a few minutes! I love this place and always know I'll have leftovers. Not today. Won't go back for a long time, though, if ever.

If you're looking to get away from the heat in the french market this is a place right in front of it to cool off. I really liked their queso fundido with chorizo. It came with a side of tortillas. I thought it was more queso tan queso fundido but the flavor was so good. Margaritas were good and big!

This is a solid Mexican eatery with an AMAZING selection of tequila, if that is your thing...I have been here many times over the years and can say that I have enjoyed every thing that I have tried. I used to always order the tamale, but it wasn't on the menu on my last visit, so I tried the ceviche and some street tacos, along with an amazing citrus (was it blood orange?) margarita. We also really enjoyed the table-side guacamole. Add the jalepenos!! Every thing was delicious and would absolutely go back again!

This was a delight! Tail end of the night and we're all hungry and wandering near the French Market and there this place is, just as we were discussing tacos. Right away we noticed the chips were great, which is a good sign. Then the food came and it was delicious. Better than what we're able to find in Cincinnati anyway. Bathrooms were cool, service was good, but we were pretty much the only people there that time of night. Would not be mad to go here again next visit.

Went to a smaller yet unknown fancier restaurant earlier, left and came here. Good service and drinks were on point!

What happened???? Server does not know the menu! Hell she didn't even know what a poblano pepper is! The food is sub par, table is wobbly! This used to be one of my favorite places. Understand it's summer, but someone has dropped the ball here in the Quarter.

Overcharge lobster burrito! Ridiculous price for nothing special. Horrible experience do not come here
