Cheap, greasy, delicious Tex-Mex. Great margaritas, many flavors, many styles. Love the rotating drink menu. Yes, this place is a chain, but that doesn't make it any less good.

Your local speak-easy style bar at the end of the street from Dunlavy House! Walk to the end of the street, find the parking lot. You'll see a blue door on what looks like the back side of a strip mall. Go through the blue door and your bar awaits. Drinks are fine and average priced, but the moody dark ambiance is what you're going for. $$.
