“ We enjoyed our tacos very much: fish and asado. Rice and beans were OK. My Margarita was tasty, freshly made in the front of me. Our bartender who was also our waiter was multitasking, easygoing and friendly. ”
“ This is such a sweet southwestern neighborhood bar. Sergio makes the best drinks and has such an amazing sense of humor. The margaritas are huge and tasty, they go down a little too easy! Definitely ask him for the secret Jarrito drink in a terracotta urn with taijin on the rim -- even though he won't reveal the secret formula and it's totally worth the experience! I laughed so hard with all of locals, who were very friendly and fun to chat with. Don't come to Ajo without stopping by! ”
“ 10 stars this place is my Ajo favorite. It's right next to the library. Close to the bank, and across the plaza from the coffee shop. Great food and the waiter is observant not always asking if I need anything, trying to hurry me. ”
“ Place is quiet , super clean and even with a small menu the food comes out quick and is fresh and very flavorful and tasty. The quesadilla is dense with filling and super filling. Really good spot to check out ”
“ Wow. Fantastic. We had the beef tacos (like cut steak) and the burrito with the carnitas option. Both were amazingly delicious. Person running it was very kind. I’m looking forward to going back again! ”
