The carne asada taco came with beans. I like my carne asada taco with only the meat no beans. The ceviche was tasty. The classic Bacanora margarita was good - I will have that again. The Lengua was out and that is what I wanted. The fish taco will have me go back in to enjoy. The loud ambience was fun, so a different restaurant if you want lower volume.

The restaurant was FREEZING! When I arrived I asked if happy hour was only at the bar. The host told us happy hour was in the whole restaurant and brought us a happy hour menu to our table but then our server said it’s only in the bar. She was going to check with the manager, but then never said anything so I figured they would honor it. When I got the bill everything from the happy hour menu was full price. I would’ve sat at the bar had I known they wouldn’t honor it. Food was all right, but nothing special. The only thing I highly recommend is the hummus.
