First person in the door, but the service was friendly, the food was excellent (good depth of flavor and a nice amount of spice), and the Cadillac marg was among the best I’ve ever had - clean and classic.

I live right across the street from this restaurant. I'm there almost every Friday. I've never had a bad experience they are very accommodating, the food is great, all they staff are friendly and polite. I love their music, reminds of my favorite place in Vegas. Periodically I am joined with a friend or relative and they have also enjoyed it.

Great aesthetic and love that its connected to Golf Sports! Caitlin was a great waitress and attentive. We LOVED the ceasar salad and highly recommend adding a protein to it. Love their margarita variety too. Window views are my favorite and they delivered.

So surprised by the negative reviews, as we enjoyed both the setting and the food! Not sure what these Tacoma gourmands are expecting, but we just wanted some good food in an upbeat atmosphere, and that is what we got. The tres amigos appetizer was fun and tasty, the verde chicken enchiladas I had were delicious, my daughter really enjoyed the chicken mole, and my husband liked his roja chicken enchiladas. Margaritas we had were all good (purist, guava ginger, and prickly pear), although like most restaurants/bars these days, there was too much ice and not enough drink! Oh, we shared a flan and enjoyed that, too. Service was great, and the value was pretty standard in terms of what we paid (we each ended up with to go boxes since the portions were generous). We'll be going back!

Heard about this place awhile back because of location and ambiance and decided to give it a try with a party of 5. For a Mexican restaurant in Tacoma; this one was probably the worst of all time! For our party: Couple people ordered the shrimp tacos with rice & beans. One ordered ceviche and couple others got the carne asada. One thing my party agreed on in regard to Mexican food. It's about the spices but unfortunately for this establishment they didn't provide the umph to their food! Very bland and not tasty at all! Don't get me wrong the portions were a very decent size but when you got no flavor. It is a total buzzkill in anyone food experience. Not very impressed by the waitstaff with no enthusiasm and feeling like you are wasting their time by asking them for something that is needed for your table. Overall, this place needs some work and I know I am not the only one has these sentiments. I just want people to be aware of the food effect concerning "no spices" because food is an important component in reviewing a restaurant and that can be the difference in wanting to come back for next time.

Visited this location for a simple last minute Birthday dinner with friends. This place did NOT disappoint! Good food, environment, drinks and a plus, the venue next door has games and pool tables. Both locations look nice and clean. The portions are big, which I do not mind... I ended up eating the rest of my burrito for lunch the following day. Would come back again.

Preface: this is my 2nd time here! Both times were subpar with HIGH BILLS! This is NOT Mexican food! This is an Americanized version of what is THOUGHT to be Mexican Food. Clearly no one of actual Hispanic origins was consulted for this menu. First, I ordered the menu equivalent of a tortilla soup. I was served what seemed to be a “red sauce” that enchiladas are topped with, mixed with beans, corn and some tortilla strips on top. This “slurry” was so thick and NONsoup-like that I tried one bite (for the benefit of the doubt) and sent it immediately back. When asked if I’d like to try anything else, I was almost too angered. But did decide to try their shrimp ceviche. Easy enough, I thought! Wrong! They served me a pickled/pico de gallo mixed with chopped boiled shrimp and corn chips. Maybe this passes for some audiences but not me nor any of my fiends at the table. I will never eat here willingly again. Again, if you are looking for ANYTHING REMOTELY LIKE REAL MEXICAN FOOD, steer clear of this place. The prices are high. And the quality and authenticity is very low!
This place was a lot better when they served hot Pretzels and Beer cheese. Now they serve over dry meat and white washed Mexican food. Our server offered a box when I clearly disliked my food. Even the lemonade was bad I should have known.

**Great drinks, service, and atmosphere. ***Stadium Golf is attached to the restaurant*Don't understand the reviews. My BF went here for date night. We sat right in front of the fireplace which is next to the hostess table. It was so warm. Ordered the cantaloupe margarita, chips & salsa, and shrimp burrito. Margarita, chips, and shrimp burrito were delicious. The salsa was a little salty, not the Pico de Gallo.Guess if I wanted to complain, I could say the shrimp were the tiny cheap shrimp. However, the food was good. Our server was nice, so I have no complaints. Plenty of room to maneuver around the restaurant.We will go back again.

Had a excellent experience. The food was well prepared and,the drinks were awesome.The staff despite being incredibly busy kept up with everyone in my parties requests,and meal orders . I don't live in Tacoma, but I would recommend to anyone your establishment. Thanks for a great day.

Fun Place. Friendly service. The corn was killled with lime juice. Queso was watery. Wings were properly cooked and just the right mount spicy. Drinks were rather weak for tacoma standards especially for a drinkinig type establishment.

My husband and I wanted a more relaxed valentines dinner this year, so I booked Poquitos last minute and got a reservation all be in on the patio. When we arrived even though it was early, we were promptly seated inside. Our server was at our table within a minute and provided us with excellent service and menu suggestions. The food was absolutely amazing, we got the tres amigos appetizer and al pastor tacos and burrito. Parking was easy and service was excellent, we will be back for sure!
