YES!!! A dive bar that doesn't feel too "divey"! Sir Froggy's Pub has a large center bar with a…read morepenny-infused countertop (cute detail) and great service (our female bartender told us her drink specialty is that she "makes all the drinks with love"! Teehee) The place is decently-sized and pretty clean; it's not too crowded; and it has a few TV screens playing sports games so the vibe was very light and lively. There was a pool table, though no one was playing it at the time I was there. The lighting was perfect for a bar (not bright like a hospital and not divey-dark). My gin and tonic was perfectly-made. It's a great local hangout bar.

My last visit my friend and I decided to share appetizers so we could try a variety of items and try a few things on the menu. Everything was so tasty! The onion rings were crispy and came with bbq sauce, one of my fav items we got! TIP: It is a good option to order for a large group, it is a large portion for $10. We also shared the burrata and tapenade, I like that it came with balsamic glaze for a savory and sweet effect. We got the Mac and cheese and added short rib. It was a really large portion too! It was as $15 for the Mac and + $9 for the short rib I believe which I didn't think was a bad price at all for what we given. We had a ton left over which will last us 2 days as a side dish for dinner later on. Buffalo wings came with 11 wings, they were garlicky and the buffalo sauce had great flavor. Overall this is always a great spot to drop by for dinner, drinks, and/or appetizers. It's easy going here, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is delicious.

Why would he say I'm taking advantage of my friend? Couldn't he approach it in a different way and just directly ask me what I'm paying for? I've been here for a long time and it really hurt my feelings. Unfortunately I may continue going back to days where he's not working.

It tastes like the best seasoned fajitas but wrapped up in a tortilla. The veggie comes in a spinach tortilla, which makes you feel like you are eating so healthy too! They have amazing hot sauces. We could only have 2/3 because one has crema, but wow they were delicious. The red salsa they serve with their chips (which were fresh as can be the two times we ate here in the past month) was scrumptious. It is clear that someone in the kitchen cares enough to cook with great spices, and to make sure things are done incredibly - not overcooked, not undercooked, not overseasoned, not underseasoned. The food is amazingly flavorful. The person who helped us was incredibly kind. We were greeted with a smile and she seemed to really enjoy meeting our needs. That was really refreshing in a world where everyone seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere else. It led to a great experience. The place itself is definitely not fancy. There's a little patio out back that is cute. We ate at a table directly in front of the window. We now make this a destination when we are hanging out along the Monterey Bay as it is truly one of the best spots for a quick bite of Mexican food that is super flavorful!
