About
A smaller spot where the casados carry the reputation — a slow-cooked stewed-beef version and a fresh, crunchy vegetarian one, both well above typical soda quality with the service and comfort to match. The margaritas get called the best in town, salsa plays, and the short menu is done well. It fills up, so reserve.

Great food, solid quality, fair value We had two casados, one vegetarian and one with stewed beef, and both were very good. The beef was nicely slow-cooked and full of flavor, while the vegetarian version stood out with fresh, crunchy, and well-balanced vegetables. Prices are a bit higher than in a typical soda, but that’s reflected in the better service and more comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant itself isn’t a visual highlight compared to others, but the kitchen appears clean and professionally run—and most importantly, the food was excellent. Definitely a good choice if you value quality over looks.
Not the best ceviche I’ve ever had but great for the price. Also my spicy margarita was TOO spicy but they were kind enough to remake it. I also loved the salsa music they were playing.
Quaint place, on the smaller side with a bar. Margaritas were the best I've had in Santa Theresa. We ordered several dishes: lobster ,beef & short ribs. Be prepared that the lobster is small and is rock lobster, which we knew would be chewy, but tasted fair. The short ribs were NOT short ribs... it was pork belly and wasn't even tender(person refused to send it back). The beef(med rare) sliced had the best flavor. Make reservations, it fills up.
