About
A Potrero standby with a roomy upstairs, a view over town, daily happy hour from 4 to 7 and live music nights. Guests staying nearby came back three times in one week for the fish casado and fresh mahi mahi, including a shrimp-stuffed, bacon-wrapped version that works for gluten-free diners. One vegan traveler had her burrito rebuilt on the spot, then nearly finished the bottle of house spicy pineapple-mango sauce. Servers like Mao and bartender Gerald get thanked by name.

We were staying for a week in Potrero and went to this restaurant for happy hour/dinner 3 times. The upstair area was spacious and had a nice of the town. Happy Hour was daily from 4-7 pm. We had the fish Casado which was reasonably priced and the mahi mahi were fresh tasting & good portion. The servers were very nice. We had the pleasure to listening to entertainment on Wednesday night.
I highly recommend this place, always with fresh and delicious options! A relaxed atmosphere with live music... also great cocktails made by Gerald, the bartender, who always has a big smile and provides excellent service. ✨🤓
We had a great waiter named Mao, he figured out that I was vegan, and modified the burrito for me. Wow, it was super yummy, they also had a house sauce that was a spicy pineapple and mango, that was so good I polished half the bottle! This place is a great place to eat and enjoy the beautiful weather, there are both outside and inside tables. Thanks again Mao for the excellent service and food recommendations!
