We make a point of eating here when we're staying in Rio Nido. I haven't been to Mexico in over 50 years, so I can't speak to "authenticity," but the food is better than a lot of places, and there's variety to the menu.No white tablecloths. You line up to order, take a tray with your order number, chips, self-serve ramekins of salsa (8 varieties to choose from!) and drinks to your table and the fresh-cooked food comes quickly. Parking can be a little tricky, so be prepared (if you can) to park up the street a couple of blocks and walk.

Fabulous little spot for happy hour. Specializes in Tequila, Mezcal and Bourbon cocktails. Also has a nice selections of unusual appetizers (cucumbers in lemon and chili salt). I had a great jalapeno margarita and my gf had a delicious sangria. Cute little patio in the back.

I am picky about Mexican food, because I lived and traveled in Mexico so much. Compared to the Real Mexican Food served in California.. I call this average, but it is Real. Fake "Mexican" food ( chevys/taco bell) is something else.. not even part of this conversation. This restraint has been here for a dozen years. Always clean, always friendly folks cooking and serving. Very convenient parking. 10 for people, 7-8 for food. No negatives unless you expect gourmet cuisine. Better Bet than the Pub ! Food To Go Too - my usual gambit.
