Stopped by to have lunch after leaving the consulado en Calexico. Food was excellent and Timothy was a great server, friendly and very professional. We had the Agua chiles verdes and wow they were the best Ive had by far. We will definitely be coming back maybe on a Sunday since we hear they have live music!

We had the garlic shrimp and diablo shrimp and both were excellent. Unassuming exterior, sports bar interior. Great service, food served promptly and perfectly done. Great salsa and lots of additional sauces both bottled and house made.
