Be Careful What You Order
Careful what you order! Stick to dishes where large chunks of meat can be hidden in say a burrito or chimichanga as it is like biting into a brick. However, if you get something more open like a taco, go for it and they are good. Good beer selection as well. There were four of us and two people got an enchilada and chimichanga and were VERY disappointed, while the other two of us thought the tacos were great. It's a shame about the other what I'll call "wrap" dishes, they should know better.

Best margaritas in the valley
The food was excellent and the margaritas were some of the best I’ve ever had anywhere! This is a true hidden gem and I’ll definitely be back.

Nice outdoor patio
The brewery is tucked away from the main roads amongst some other buildings so you won’t see it from the street. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and the place was about half full with most people sitting outdoors on the shaded patio. We ordered from the bar and took seats on the patio. The servers delivered our drinks and appetizer (chips/black beans/guacamole for $5). The dips were good, but the portion of chips served was very small. Fortunately, our server told us that we could refill the chips as much as we needed otherwise it would not have been something we would have ordered again. The Chela beer that I tried ($7) was good.

Awesome Food & Lively Scene
The food was awesome - we had the salmon tostadas, the tacos, chips & salsa, and side salads. It all had delicious flavor. The service is simple & fast (order at the bar) and the staff is super friendly. We sat on the covered patio and had a lot of fun. We'd definitely go back!

Dive restaurant good food but lousy service
I had the chicken mole enchiladas - very good mole sauce. Also had a margarita which tasted they poured the mixer out of a bottle - yuck - I'd go with a beer next time. The server seemed very disinterested and very slow.
