Decent margaritas and very popular with an after work crowd, but the food ain't so great. Although it's only open for weekday breakfast and lunch, Las Manitas on Congress Ave. is great. For traditional Tex-Mex, I like El Arroyo on 5th St, all the way west. Also, Fonda San Miguel is very good, more southern, Mexican cuisine, but it is more expensive.
