  I came here with boyfriend for dinner the other night. It was surprisingly crowded for a weeknight, but we were seated right away. Like most of the bars on Stone Street, it was pretty loud, but we didn't really mind.
  
  We each got fajitas, he got steak and I got chicken. It was a decent amount of food - I brought half of mine home for leftovers. They bring you the typical sides: guac, tomatoes, etc. I'd say for the amount of food you get the price isn't outrageous. Good spot for groups, but not a good date spot.

  If you order beef burrito it is really steak. They don't tell u that. Be aware. Checks can only be split up to 6 times. Even for 19 people.
  
  The burrito comes with all this extra sauce on both sides. Make sure you tell them sauce on the side if you don't want a wet ass burrito
  
  Update: one of the sauces is hit ass hell again for a first timer no one told me that it comes with hot sauce on one side
  
  Update 2; I'm still eating no cheese or lettuce in these burritos either just steak that should be ground beef rice and beans.... no worth the hype ...should have got a $2 pizza
  
  Update to the update: Anything that says beef is really steak don't be fooled. She told us she could only split the checks to 6 but I guess she realized she gets more money making it individually ...Don't trust these people
  
  After the waitress realize her tip would be bigger she Split every single tip up individually...interesting LIE

  Found this place while walking along Stone St. Decided to stop on in because we saw a table with the beer tube of margaritas. There was only 3 of us so we opted to get a fishbowl. I'm not a fan of frozen margs and they were able to give it to us on the rocks even though it wasn't on the menu. It was super super strong, too. Had to keep pouring water into it to drown the OVERWHELMING tequila taste.
  
  The food is good. We got an order of mild guacamole for the table. It's more on the lumpy side. I ordered the steak tacos which come 4 tacos and a small side of rice and beans. Surprisingly filling despite their small portion.
  
  My biggest gripe with this place is their speed. Takes forever to get a table, even if there are so many open and it takes a long time to get approached by our waiter/waitress. We were having good conversation which kept the time going, but we definitely noticed how long it was taking.

  Headed here on a Wednesday night to take advantage of the nice weather and plethora of restaurants offering outside seating. Mad Dog is the only Mexican offering in the area, so quickly went over and got a table for two at one of the long table-benches.
  
  While looking through the menu, didn't see any happy hour deals, nor any free chips and salsa to start (Downtown Manhattan woes). Instead, settled on the Blackberry Margarita ($14) and the Pineapple Avocado Salad ($13). More expensive than one would like, though most restaurants are around that price point. Drinks come first - the margarita is a frozen ensemble of tequila and artificial fruit juice. Could have been a better flavor to balance out the tequila. As for the salad, the grilled pineapple is a nice treat, and the accompanying sauce made the mix of greens more palatable.
  
  Service here is actually really good despite the servers having to work the indoor and outdoor crowds. Not a place I'd try often due to the prices - fine enough for a drink to end the night.

  This was a last minute stop as we parked our truck in the lot across the street . One thing to say is they're guacamole was awesome as an appy and for the main I had the fish tacos  which were great. 4 mini tacos with rice and beans in a little cast iron skillet. Totally enjoyed them. Wife had a chicken  Torta which was juicy and tasty and by the looks of it. Was enjoyed by her. Prices weren't as at all and would love to come back when we are in the city again.
