Nice happy hour from 4 - 7:30 weekdays featuring $4 drink specials -- the blue margarita and sangria were really good. From 4-6:30 also includes free quesadilla bar - cheese, chicken or veggie. If happy hour isn't your thing, the food will not disappoint. The street taco platter was really good (and you can try different types).
