Frommer's Review
Everyone from 20-something hipsters to slick showbiz player-types, rockers, movie stars, and regular folk like yourself can be found at this family-owned cantina that has been around since 1931. The rowdy bar scene alone is a great reason to hang out at this highly popular (yet eminently affordable) Mexican restaurant. During prime dining hours, the restaurant's bustling atmosphere spills over into the bar, which is frequently crowded to capacity. Settle in by sampling from the grande-size menu of appetizers such as taquitos, quesadillas, and nachos, and be sure to wash them down with a couple of World Famous House Margaritas (a bargain at $4.50). The fare is traditional Mexican and well prepared; recommended plates include the enchilada Howard smothered with chile con carne, ostrich tacos (yes, ostrich), and sizzling fajita platters.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
