    a sign in a public restroom

    Salvaged 2 stars bc the beer mug was frosty. Dirty feel to the place. Crowed tables. Goofy parking lot. (Wouldn't be an issue if the other stuff didn't suck) had my plate pushed away and done and still had to flag down the waiter for the bill after he went by 5 times. Bathroom was disgusting. Whole building had an old don't care vibe to it. Visit Don Ramon's/Mi Puebleto/Del Sol. They r well ran. Food was decent but EVERYTHING else was way below average. And the sign on the bathroom wall!!!

    Excellent service, food, drinks and ambiance. Burritos - delish! Margaritas on the rock are wonderful.

    Odd location for a Mexican cuisine but the only thing around on a Sunday. But I was fairly impressed because it was good food.
