    Fantastic Mexican American food menu. My personal favorite is the fried chimichanga with chorizo and beef. Get it "drunken" for $2 more to add some questions and zesty sauce. Their Jalapeño Margarita is a conversation starter, one of the best I've ever had.

    Great place for pinball fans. Full bar with Mexican food which is pretty good. I gave this 5 stars because of the pinball. Highly recommend. Parking is in the street.

    Hey! Listen! The nacho, taco, and burrito Triforce is strong here. You will emerge as the Hero of Time after your meal is over. Ganon has no chance against you and the Princess will definitely be waiting at Hyrule Castle to say her goodbyes as you embark on an incredible journey to find your longlost friend, Navi. Tingle would say the same!

    I love pinball bars SO much. Solid drinks and I love that you can get quarters from the register if you don’t have cash.

    It was pretty empty when we went. The staff mans both the bar and takes your order and brings to table. They are super hard working and friendly. The food was good and a unique take on Tex Mex. Coming on a visit from Texas, some of their food was better than even back home. The only thing was their local soft drinks were not good at all. Which normally would not be a bad thing but with how salty the chips and queso were, you needed an enjoyable drink to wash it down. The decor seems to want to be as authentic as what was deemed Tex Mex, fun but not accurate. The pinball machines were very cool! Loved it overall

    A classic Hampden mainstay. Don't miss it if visiting. Great food and good drinks. Service can be, well, short and abrupt. You don't get many smiles or assistance, more like "what do you want". They could work on the service levels -1 star. Pinball and arcade in the back, good fun there.

    I love dive bars and pinball. That said this place should have aced my requirements but it really didn't. Location just is just lacking atmosphere. Staff was pleasant enough when getting drinks at the bar, but waiting for 45 minutes for simple food even after enquiring several times just doesn't cut it.

    Not a fancy place but the service and food definitely makes up for it. The chicken in the quesadilla was the star of the show. So juicy and moist. The bartender was so nice and attentive. It’s definitely worth the visit for lunch. There were arcade games in another room too. It’s probably a great hangout spot for college students. But if nothing else… the chicken quesadilla omg!

    This is the perfect place. Exceeds the “you get what you pay for”. Good priced drinks ($3 Margaritas on Monday) the quality of drinks is good for them to be cheap. The food is very solid for it to be cheap as well. Great dive bar vibes. The music is amazing. Staff is friendly. I been 3x in 2 weeks. A place that is rough around the edges but polished where need to be. No frills, straight to the point. I love the traditional Tex mex spirit of the bar. Definitely stop pass if you have the chance for good drinks and food at a very good price. Hard to find these days.

    Really nice Mexican bar and eatery conveniently located in the Hampden area with adequate seating space. The service was quick, friendly and efficient. They had plant based meat for almost all entrées which was great. We ordered appetisers and they were decent- the taquitos were a bit over fried with very little stuffing. Will try the tacos next time

    Was in town visiting and stopped here for food and drinks and it did not disappoint. Stiff drinks and the food was on point. They also had a small farmers market going on with vintage clothes and jewelry. But all the old pinball machines was the cherry on top 🤘

    Food is fantastic. Gives off a relaxed vibe of a "dive bar". Foodncomes out fast, great prices & well made Mexican dishes. Come, eat, drink and not be rushed to leave. The only reason not a 5-star is the lack of table service. Paying at the bar is hectic as some folks take their turn as social hour making a very long line and wait to order or pay. Would be 5-star if table service included paying at your table with portable charge card machines like in Europe

    Very experience!!! It's my first time at the place for the PinBaltimore 2022 event. I had a good time with my friend. The nostalgic of it all took my back of the good ole pinball days.
