About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
Legit Mexican fare. No joke. Chef Mariana Gonzalez celebrates her family’s generational recipes and shares them with you. Sounds yum…and don’t worry, the drinks are just as good.

    Excellent food and service. Had an issue a few months back and they invited us back. They were spot on with everything. Burritos. Tacos and especially the margaritas. Raul, the new manager, has a great personality and will certainly build from here. Give it a try. Newport isn’t mobbed yet.
