  This is going to be short and sweet, but seriously come here! I wish I could give 6 or 7 stars for the customer service and food.
  
  We came from out of town to for a week to visit the family for father's day. We didn't assume that this little place would be the shining gem that it was.
  
  Leslie was our server. Seriously, she made the whole experience. After she took our drink order, I remember my sister saying "She's the nicest server that I've ever had." She was really just a warm and kind soul that made our meal that much better
  
  They're queso dip is great! Burrito California is the best thing ever. Ask for Leslie, get a margarita and get ready to have a great night.

  Not bad, not great. Beer was cold, and the chips crispy, the salsa could have had a bit more chunkiness to it, if you get what I mean.  Prices certainly affordable.  A solid, though not exceptional, choice for a Mexican meal.

  If you're looking for cheap Mexican food and cheap margaritas, this is a great option in Charlottesville. Plus, their chips and salsa are excellent!

  I love this place.  The food is good and they have the Best Margarita's in town.  I love that you can order a frozen half lime half strawberry margarita and aren't charged extra.  The staff is nice and friendly.  It's very reasonable for what you get and I like the atmosphere.  A plus is they have a happy hour on the margaritas and give your free chips and salsa, most places I been to charge you for chips and salsa.  This is my favorite Mexican place to dine at.

  Food was good but the service was poor. Had to track down a server when no one brought us our check after sitting and waiting a few minutes.
