Great spot! Food was delicious. Our kids made friends on the playground while we enjoyed our meal outside. Kid-friendliness: Play structure!

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service I received at your establishment. Upon arriving, I was not greeted by any staff members and had to wait an extended period of time before my order was taken. After waiting an additional 10 minutes, I still had not received my food and was not provided with any updates on the status of my order. As a result, I felt compelled to cancel my order and request a refund. I hope that you will take this feedback into consideration and improve the customer service experience at your establishment.

The salsa was the perfect level of spicy. Everyone inside the store was exceptionally nice. The queso was more than decent, it was Cheesy! The Don-Tino was also delicious. I'll definitely be coming back here in the future.

This bar is where I met my husband in 1998. An ex-boyfriend introduced us to one another. Today, We are still married. Always a very special place. We left Austin to live on North Padre and now retired to south Padre. Good luck with the 35 expansion!

I had the brisket enchiladas, I requested the bartender put on toppings he would have, he didn’t fail. The skinny margs he made were top shelf, if I didn’t live in Florida I’d come back more often to see the bartender Patrick & have some of those awesome enchiladas
