Stepped into this joint early on a saturday morning.
Half dive bar/ Half restaurant... complete with mirrors on the ceilings and
scantily-clad waitresses.
They offered diner food and mexican.
I tried a new item on the menu, the JUICY LUCY
arrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh... drooooool
One of the best burgers i've had. and i've had alot.
prices were cool, seems like they had alot of promos during the week. -

I have to admit, I was a bit wary of coming here, especially with my grandma of all people. We were across the street at Cookin Stuff and were starving. We had b een to Hooters before, and noticed that this type of restaurant tends to ignore all-female tables.
Not the case at Texas Loosey's! Our waitress today was Tiffany, who was gorgeous and also happened to be great at her job. She was just as friendly to us as she was to the male patrons.
My bacon burger was HUGE and moist, even when I wanted it well done. I couldn't finish the massive heap of fries, though I really, really wanted to eat them. They were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Perfect. I tasted my grandma's BBQ pulled pork sandwich and it was also delicious.
I'll definitely be back!Listed in: Om Nom Hamburgers!

Been going here since 1991 and never had a bad time!!!
The menu has been updated from time to time to match the changes that go on around them. Which is a reason why I keep going back every time I go to Torrance. They also have theme parties every month and live kick butt music!
Drink specials??? Hell yeah!!! Dollar beer until the keg is empty... Great!!!
The bartenders!!! Who's better around??? NO ONE!!! A++++++
Waitress's are so cute and friendly.. Plus do a great job!!! Nice outfits also!!! Eye candy doesn't hurt!!!
Ribs!!! So good!!!!
Chili!!! Yes more please!!!
Juicy Loosey burger!!! OMG!!! Two please cause they are so good!!!
All the food is so good!!! The finger food is a great way to start as well.
Plus if you wake up a bit early in a Sunday, swing by for there breakfast and awesome bloody mary's!!!
I will be back always!!!! -

My husband and I went to Texas Loosey's on Saturday. We had been there before about 3 years ago, but - as memory will do - we had forgotten how we felt after our first visit here.
We are originally from Texas and know what a good plate of fajitas are supposed to taste like. We ordered the beef (steak) fajitas that are served on a sizzling fajita platter with high hopes. Sure enough, they came out sizzling - but that's where the resemblance to REAL fajitas ended.
There was a good mix of onions, peppers, and tomatoes on the platter and a decent amount of beef. BUT unfortunately the beef had absolutely no flavor. None. Nada. Zilch. As we sat there and tried to eat, we talked about how the beef tasted like a cooked roast almost. Not like it was sliced, seasoned, and cooked to order. We shared one order of fajitas and didn't even finish half of it. It was a real disappointment.
Also of note was the fact that we ordered a bottle of Chardonnay. We though the waitress would bring over a bottle of wine and two glasses, open the wine, and pour our servings (at least). What happened instead was the waitress brought over two already poured glasses of wine and said "the bottle is on it's way". We looked at each other and were completely puzzled by this. Sure enough, she brought over an already opened, half empty bottle of wine. What is wrong with restaurants that do this kind of thing? This isn't how you serve wine, I don't care if you are a fine dining establishment or a divey-Texas wannabe restaurant. This was just plain wrong.
Will we go back? Probably not. There are just too many GOOD restaurants available that know that food should be seasoned and have flavor, and also know the do's and don'ts of serving wine. -

Butt-cracks are not classy, or in-style. I'm pretty sure on the runways in Milan, Paris, London, and New York - the world's top designers are not showcasing this "feature" in their latest designs. Now, don't get me wrong...I do dig the little itty-bitty outfits with chaps, and I mean...from way back! But pull up your little speedo-stylin' short-shorts! There are little kids eating in here! Heck, I'm eating here! It's a saloon, it's 830pm, and lady servers are dressed in little nothings, showing cleavage in-front in-between their two something-somethings, and then one gal showing the aforementioned "crack" in the back (as a bonus). Hmmm...am I a prude? BTW - The kid thing is surprising. A family was there with several small kids!
This place has for sure lost it's class since the days of Wally George. Okay, even then it was never 'classy', but it was once aligned with 'good, fun, and cool', and now - it's none of those.
ALL WAS OKAY UNTIL...
The main reason why I came here was to watch the Laker game. With 10 mins to go in the 4th quarter, the karaoke guy took over the big screen TV that I was watching, and starts setting up for the big night of Torrance talent. WTH? WTF! The guy was so polite and nice, so I moved to the bar to squint at the rest of the game on a 13" TV. Thanks Mr Nice guy singer dude.
So...I'm sitting at the bar...and eating my chili fries, which are good shoestring-type with sticky chili (tip: don't drain the fat from the meat...and people will flock here). I am thinking, wow - the chili kind of stinks. While I am on a roll, let me share with you info about some of the customers. See, I was wrong about the chili, it didn't smell badly at all. It turns out the guy to my left is farting (the strong & silent kind). I turn to my right for fresh air, and then get a view of a guy who is completely stoned drunk, or perhaps, stoned and drunk. Plus, he has a terrible bowl cut haircut. I might was well add judgmental to my characteristics. Two guys across from me had the porn-store-owner looks. Yikes, there I go again.
With all this, of course, I wonder what they are yelping about me? Some guy who just evidently showered and wearing a whole lot of cologne just shows up in HERE and smiles...like he is up to something. That's right guys and dolls, I am writing about you!
THE POSITIVES (there are 3 of them!):
#1 - The staff and customers all seemed to enjoy themselves. Lots of laughing going on, smiling, and boy --- tequila is good stuff and works! Especially in this economy of woes.
#2 - The bartender was cute and outgoing...but just one step up from a dancer (no, not the ballet-type, or jazz, or disco)...she kept it even more entertaining than it already was. Jokes from the 'farter' to her were about being a stripper, and she LOL'd. Again, classy.
#3 - The mama with the 3 small kids, aforementioned in paragraph 1, had an amazing, totally professional voice. Plus, she was rockin' hot.
CONCLUSION
My friends, this is why I leave my house and go out. Life = better than fiction. Of course, I have a strong feeling I shouldn't step back into Texas Loosey's without first going to the costume store, or perhaps if I were to wear some tighty-whities 2 sizes small...hmmmmmm!
STAR POINTS
+1 = given to decent chili-fries
+1 = the customers seem to have funListed in: Your ATTENTION please!

I visited Texas Looseys with a group of Harley guys I ride with. We probably had 15-20 of us in our group, (side note, we are not rough bikers, we are professional guys who just happen to ride Harleys and like riding together).
We were accommodated, the food all came out together and was hot. No one had any complaints. I had a Juicy Loosey burger and added bacon $3.50 eek but whatever. Kids EAT FREE!!!
I think its 10 and under. I had never been there before so my girlfriends 4 year old was trying to figure out why the girls were dressed "funny". They are sort of wearing this texas themed costume. We all had a great time though. Everyone was really nice and the food was great.
I was trying to eat healthy and didn't really see any great options, they could have been there but I didnt really see anything that looked better than a burger. It was my first time there so I didn't want to venture out to getting a veggie burger at a place Id never been to. My girlfriend got a burrito and it was huge and very tastey, we probably could have split that.
My girlfriends daughter got mac and cheese and it was enough to feed her that night and take home.
I talked about it the next day at work and a lot of people had been there and really liked it. I think its been around for a long time.
I would definitely recommend this place to people who want good burgers and bar food. It was reasonably priced and a fun environment. There were also clean bathrooms and plenty of seats and tv's.
Also, just wanted to say it again, the staff were all very nice and competent.
Thanks for reading -

No Shiner Bock on tap. Very un-Texas-like.
Their food has taste... but the Loosey is how your lower intestines may feel the next morning.
Waitresses range from the brink of hot to moderately attractive to remember that episode about the bare midriff in Curb Your Enthusiasm? Just saying ladies, if working here is your career and you need to rake in the tips, please at least do a search for "Pilates" and "Torrance."
No real complaints about the service, though.... what they lack in promptness and attentiveness, they more than make up for in smiles and blank stares.
Interesting group of patrons, mostly late-50s, loud, sweaty, balding, fun-loving, beer-belly types that are here with their husbands. -

I've been going for years. The waitresses can be pretty nice and they wear little bare texas getups. They used to be a lot barer than now - something must have happened. The riblets, tacos, and pork cutlets are the best. Beer is average, and sometimes doesn't taste quite right.

I really like this place to relax and have a beer. The bartenders are very friendly and the environment is very laid back. You won't see annoying party animals there, but they have fun nights of karaoke, some dancing, and best of all, UFC pay per views for only $5!
The only thing I suggest they work on is some of those beer prices! -

Oh my, after going here I had to write a review. I too was surprised by this place. I was expecting a sit down loose meat sandwich place, but its Sports Bar with scantily clad women in chaps. Not for kids but so what. We had just finished a run at the beach and could not wait to eat lunch. I myself was looking pretty ragged but my waitress was awesome and treated us very well. I dunno maybe because I am from Texas I am used to Texan Sports bars, the service was A+
We had plates off the lunch menu special, ChiliCheese Hotdog and the burger. Both were good, the Chili was pretty good. Being Texan it passed my taste bud test well. The hot dog itself was smoked or grilled, not boiled....really nice. They had a chicken fried steak also on this menu which for $5.95 is awesome.
My only negative would be that this Texas bar does not have Shinerbock, blasphemy! -

I usually come here with the fellas for some good eye candy, decent food, and catch up.
This place is set up very much like a road house type atmosphere. Of course the first thing you notice is the cowgirl skimpy uniforms the female serves wear. They are all quite attractive which makes eating my meal more enjoyable :) The place brags how good their chili is. To me it is decent but not a huge fan of it.
The food is fine. I tried the baby back pork ribs half rack the other day. The ribs were good but nothing too fancy, especially if I don't here it is their "speciality" like the chili. When you order ribs you can choose two sides.I got the mac and cheese which was not very good at all. it was a little watery as well, not sure what was going on here. The other side I got was the chili. Most meals come with a corn muffin that I enjoyed very much.
For some reason after I finsihed my meal, our waitress dissapeared for a good -10 minutes. Our table was filled with empty plates that was taking up room. I wasn't too pleased.
Also, if people notice on some of the ceilings, they have what looks like sex mirrors. I am not saying I am an expert but what other reason would you have to get a mirror on the ceiling?
It can get loud inside so be prepared to speak up. On some nights they offer karoke and lingerie night where they have two unhappy women that walk around and try to have you buy raffle tickets for some money prize. They go to your table, flirt to get you buy tickets then tell you how unhappy they are. Not the best place to take your kids which I have seen, better to leave them at home. -

So. Classy.
I'm referring to the chili/bacon/cheese/(insert other fatty ingredient) burger made by the lady just a couple years younger than me in shiny gold lingerie. I'm sure her father would be proud.
Really. It was my first time with my boss and coworkers, and it happened to be lingerie show and raffle night. Unsurprisingly, the place was full of 50-something year old perverted guys and shocked families coming here for the first time. This one 300lb, unkempt guy at the bar was putting a shitload of 1 dollar bills on my waiter. Another chick was raffling off random things of sexual nature, including a dildo shaped lava lamp and toy guns with naked chicks on the box.
I'll come down here next time I'm craving Spearmint Rhino, but with burgers. -

This place makes me laugh too.
Not just because of the concept (Texas themed Hooters), or that its in Southbay of all places, but mainly because my 50 year old coworker kept egging me to go here. Then got me to take like over 4 shots of Jack, plus beers...
So I finally did on the occasion of my last week at work, and a Lakers finals game. Honestly, I think we had one of the better looking servers of the bunch, meaning I had to consciously stare at her eyes while ordering my Austin Burger... But the rest? eh.
Does it really matter what I review the food? Food is secondary. The ambiance is already spoken for. Come here because its a bar and roaming eye candy, and not far from home if youre in the Southbay.
That and you wont look out of place wearing a cowboy hat inside. (saw several CUSTOMERS still wearing em)
Parking seemed ok. There might be more around back... -

Strange, I thought I wrote this review already. Is yelp losing my reviews?
Anyway, went here on a Friday for lunch. Ordered the Austin (most of the burgers are named after cities in Texas). The Austin is a bacon cheeseburger. It was a very good burger.
I chose to replace the side of french fries with a cup of chili. That was a mistake. The chili was that good and it was cold.
Service was good. The big draw for this place is that the waitresses are young, attractive girls wearing bra and panties, with ass-less chaps and not much else. BTW aren't all chaps ass-less? I don't think I've seen another kind. The girls were pretty, but didn't have much body...mostly skinny, white chicks. Not bad though. Not skanky enough for me to say don't bring your kids here, but would not recommended for everybody.
Since it was lunchtime on a Friday, it meant that it was "Lingerie Show" day. Didn't know what to expect, but it was just 3 girls wearing lingerie who came by our table and tried to sell us raffle tickets. Winners would get some very crappy prizes or a free meal. Raffle drawings were too few and far between for my group to stick around past the first drawing.
I guess they have UFC viewings here. I think it was $5 per person, according to the signs. That's the cheapest UFC cover I've ever seen. Might be worth checking out. They do have a lot of TVs.
Overall, I'd come back to this place, based on the quality of the burger alone. I'd give it a solid 3 stars. The girls are a nice touch, so I bumped it up to 4 stars. -

The inside is a dump. I've been to older buildings where the inside was better looking. :facepalm:
The food is okay. I can't remember the last time i was here though.
Mid to late 2000s, they took out the lottery machine where I used to play hotspot.
Probably be wise to stick with the burgers, chilli spagehetti or some appatizers/tex mex stuff. -

I had driven by here dozens of times and decided it was time to drop in. I stopped in on a Saturday, mid-afternoon.
A very nice server, Melissa, seated me and advised me on some of the specialties. I decided to have a half-order of baby back ribs and chose the Texas red chili and coleslaw for sides. The plate also came with a yummy corn muffin. Perfect meal to enjoy with a cold beer.
I must say, it was hard to be a mannerly gentleman watching the outfits the servers wear. Cowgirl looking, but revealing and sexy. There is so much going on, it is hard not to stare to see what all they are wearing.
The ribs were tender and tasty, the chili was good, but the coleslaw was only average.
I will come back on one of the themed nights to see what else they do. Maybe Karaoke would be fun, I do a mean Sinatra. -
Review from Grace L.

:oLOL
This place makes me laugh... :) The food and service sort of sucked ass, but if you come here with a decent group of people who want to have fun, you'll find something amusing out of this establishment.
With the servers singing karaoke for the whole restaurant to sing or listen to, to patrons intently watching the game happening on their nice TVs. I would totally come here to grab a couple beers and nachos while screaming at the TV with the rest of the crowd about how the Lakers aren't making any of their shots.
According to the boys, we came on an off night (Sunday after 7 PM) cause the women weren't dressed as scantily clad as they normally would be. Either way, the food was unbearably bad. I ordered the sirloin stuffed with blue cheese just because i was curious, and that thing was so salty that I was afraid that I was going to suffer from high blood pressure. My friend got the Santa Maria tri tip. Unfortunately, not only was it prepared incorrectly, it was dry. Not even A-1 could salvage the situation.
I do believe that if I did have to come back, I would come back to catch a game because it seems like the crowd isn't opposed to say how they're feeling about their teams. :) -

This cozy little place has potential. It's sort of in the middle of nowhere and they're not really promoting the place so it's mostly a few locals hanging out. Mainly older men.. hmm.. could it be the young girls in boy shorts and chaps that draw them here? Or is it the car shows, bike night, lingerie shows, & live bands?
My guy and I checked it out on a Friday and Christian Simmons, a country band was playing that night. We had a few drinks at the bar, after being carded twice. The manager had to come out to make sure that our driver's licenses were real. We do look younger than our age but since we're both almost twice the age of 21 .. I'm going to have to say they're VERY strict with ID.
I'll definitely be back because there's no cover charge and they have decent priced drinks. I'll just have to come during one of those special events. -

Are you reading these reviews to learn more 'bout barely legal assless chaps wearing women? Did your ears perk when you heard about lunchtime lingerie shows? Ah, I suspected as much. In that case, just go--go to Texas Loosey's. Indulge in surreptitious glances. Join horseless middle-aged cowboys, long haired leather clad bikers and an occasional wide-eyed peach fuzzed faced boy at the bar. The joint is friendly, the music is rockin', and the ribs are mouth watering (okay, some of the workin' girls are too).
Ifin' you're a woman, you'll survive this "men's club" without reason for defense; the bar even makes a special effort for ya on ladies night Thursdays. No, ya won't find any strapping young lads in assless chaps, but I'm confident that some of those middle-aged+ men will order up a few rounds of drink specials: are you lookin' for a daddy? (Okay, me neither! That's why I just take a corner seat, bop my head to live tunes, order a buffalo meat burger and enjoy a good giggle at my neighborhood's redneck spectacle.) -

This was my second visit to Texas Loosey's in years! I forgot just how fun this place was!
We stopped by for the Laker game and we were seated quickly and promptly served by really sweet waitress. I believe her name was Melissa B... She checked on several times throughout our visit and was very nice to us! She had excellent recommendations for food and drinks. Her service alone would have made dinning here a great experience!
Along with the great service the drinks and food were amazing as well! The food tasted great and the servings were HUGE. The drinks were also super yummy and they did not get weaker as you ordered more like most places do.
So if you want hot servers, excellent food and drinks, and ample TVs for all the great games this is the place to go!!! They also have a fun filled calendar you should check out! I will be going here more often! -

Walking into Texas Loosey's the first time I didn't expect it to be a place for men. Its obviously targeted to the guys, as others have said, the waitresses all wear chaps over boy short undies. I'd probably say its similar to going to Hooters, but I've never been there so I wouldn't know.
Boyfriend wanted some jalepeno poppers, so we ordered those to start with. They tasted homemade, not this open a box from the freezer and pop in the oven deal. I was really in hot popper heaven!
For my main entree, I had a bacon cheeseburger w/cole slaw. I actually really loved my meal, it was great! Very large portions, and the scantily clad waitress was awesome and provided us great service. She never let my soda run low and would bring me refills w/out having to ask.
I will definitely be back again. They also have a frequent diners card so I will definitely take advantage of that. -

Me and my boyfriend went here last night so he could perform for Mel's Monday night open mic.
I assumed we were going to a bar or coffee shop like we usually so so you can imagine my surprise when we ended up at this cowboy bar. There was live country music when we walked in. I didn't expect to see girls in leather vests and chaps with only panties on. That definitely caught me off guard.
Um, the place is a bunch of old guys drooling over the young scantily clad girls.
The almost naked girls are really friendly and warm but I'd have to agree with Kevin C. that uptight women will NOT like this place.
We didn't eat any food and we shared a cranberry juice so I can't comment on their food or alcohol quality but the cranberry juice and limes were just fine. -

6/22/2009
I'm only giving this place 1 star ONLY because of THE FLAUTAS and the Mexican chefs in the back that are the true stars of "Texas Racist"...yeah...that's what it is because one night, one of the managers accused some of my Latino friends of being "cholos"....saying that they started a fight, when in fact, it was a non-latino who was hitting on one of my friends' girlfriends right in front of him. So basically that night, they kicked out and banned all of the non-white folks because they thought that they were "cholos" for starting a fight that my friends didn't even start! The manager was also drunk that night! Cops were outside because the 2 guys were fighting in the street....I mean, that's what you get when you sell alcoholic beverages and have stupid people that like to hit on people's girlfriends.
FOOD is GREAT, but yes...the service can sometimes SUCK....and YES...there ARE perverted old drunk men there hitting on the girls.
SAVE YOUR MONEY and gas and go to B&J BREWERY or LAZY DOG CAFE instead because this place sucks....oh yeah, you definately get stares if you are not a certain race. Sad, but true.Listed in: THESE PLACES SUCK...

Steak, Fajitas, Burgers, Ribs, Potatoes and things of that like. Most of the food is good. Pretty much so on par with Chillies. They have a nice bar that seems to attract the locals.
The number one reason this place gets the attention that it does is with the attire of the waitresses. Basically hooters with assless chaps, but better food and environment IMO.
Most nights they have a local old timer band playing, other activities are scheduled for short durations as well. Check their website for more info in regards.
Overall a fun restaurant. Makes a nice stop before going to the movies, bowling or Oktoberfest with friends. -

I went here last night because my brother, who is in a band, wanted to check out the open mic night (every Wednesday).
Yes, to some extent it reminded me of a hooters, and why I don't frequent these kinds of places. Everyone was really friendly, though!
The open mic night was kinda cool. You just go up and play whatever you want to play. Some of the people that played were actually really good!
Go here to see all the old dudes trying to pick up on the young waitresses.Listed in: Food in the South Bay

Sort of surprising that the waitress gave us the impression that this sports bar with full of tight short wearing waitresses is a family run establishment, but luckily for me I've got that kind of family. Only went for lunch and it is super casual. The chili was actually pretty good too. Nothing special, but should live up to anyone's low expectations.

I've been here a couple of times for lunch when I was in the area. It probably would be a decent place to hang out at night.
The burgers and the fries are definitely good but that's not the main reason for coming here. Just like Hooters, you come here for the scenary. It's been awhile since I've been here but I seem to remember waitresses wearing scimpy western outfits. Can't beat burgers served by waitresses wearing chaps and not much else. -

Yee-Haw Pardner! Food is the best in the west, seriously! It has been quite some time since I stepped (or two-stepped) in that joint, but I was tickled pink to hear that they opened back up. They closed for awhile, I'm sure it was due to some uptight city folk, upset over the attire.
Back in the day, when I could fit into those chaps, I used to work there, great place to visit, terrible place to work! I'm still the girl next door +20 years now, but you wouldn't catch me wearing those fringe-ladden chaps anymore is all. Management back then really sucked, today it is a whole new world there, so I hear.
Prices are great, food is great, girls are super friendly...no need to get your under-drawers in bunches ladies...they are just there for the tips. Believe it or not, families go there...for the food and I believe them!! Hot diggity dog...the hot dogs are good! Chili just can't be beat either, especially when it's topped with mozzerella & onions!
Ice cold beers to chase away the chili sting...the day is topped off just right :) So what are you waiting for? Go hang loose at Texas Loosey's! -

The food here really is bland. The waitresses all seem as though they wished they worked anywhere else but there. The usual patrons are a bit on the seedy side. I got sick one time from the food.

I tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago and it was a "Bike Night" and they were doing karaoke, a raffle and some other misc things.
I ordered the buffalo chicken strips for dinner and was surprised at the portion size - it was a HUGE plate! My boyfriend had the fajitas and loved them. We drank three beers each and our total bill came out to 75 dollars. The beers were pricey especially for having to listen to an extremely loud man do a raffle for what seemed like an hour.
Overall, the food was good. The service was lackluster and awkward considering my waitresses ass was hanging out. But I'm sure most people would enjoy that :) -

I really do love this bar. Everyone is really friendly including the other customers. Its a very comfortable place to hang out. They've got a lot of flat screens to watch sports, the waitresses and female bartenders are all really cute and sweet, the beer is always perfectly chilled, and they have $4 shots so I end up getting a shot of Patron often times. I love their veggie tacos but I only wish they had a few more pseudo-healthy vegetarian options. Their ceviche is great and huge (fills a half pineapple)!
I haven't seen Char in awhile...where is she?
John and Jackie are leaving soon and so is Loretta...I'm gonna miss 'em...all the best you guys! -

Came here for my birthday. Been missing home cooked Texas bbq. This is the closest I came to it - it was alright. My friends and I ordered the garlic toast and sampler appetizer - those were the best! OMG! We pigged out on that... then our meals came and we were already full.
The service was alittle slow but it looked abit crowded outside and out back. We were sitting in the front of the restaurant by the bar. We did have a really old drunk guy come up to our table and make a pass at us. That probably is what killed our appetite. Thankfully he only lingered for a few minutes. Maybe he noticed we were ignoring him. Perhaps he noticed us trying not to gag.
The live band was nice - one friend had never been to a live band. The girls are dressed in chaps, leather vests and cowboy hat. -

Been there 3 times. It's kinda outta my way but I enjoied myself. I suggest this place as a nice place to hang and have a nice bite.
I can't complain too much, I just wish they would try to be a bit more "hip" still a nice place. -

I was recommended to check this place out by a friend of mine, he suggested getting the burger. If you're hungry and want an awesome burger, try the Bacon Cheeseburger with a side of fries.
The time I was there, there were only 2-3 other customers, so I had pretty fast service. Only 2 servers were present and they were both wearing sexy cowboy uniforms, what a nice surprise!
Next time I go there, I am going to try the Chili. -

Good place to chill for people who wants it laid back. No need to wear anything fancy, no need for a thick wad of cash, just bring a smile and your appetite. Servers are so friendly ( and I am a girl, I am straight and I am 27 yrs old), they would chat you up like your a regular. Don't freak out about the old dudes, after going here a few times, they are just family. If Hooters would give you smirks, the girls here would give you all the love.
Their mexican dishes are really tasty, and don't miss their cornbread. Drinks are so cheap and they use top quality stuff. Try going to their specials, place is so busy and fun.
