Think tacos & margs, but make it unique. celebrate with good company, innovative food & drinks, and a not-to-be-missed experience. A Mexican Gastropub that revels the many influences found throughout California infused into Mexican dishes. Our happy hour is where the party’s at and our taco Tuesday is the highlight of the week. Ocean views and good drinks are our vibe and our patio is the spot for those jealous-inducing selfies.

    The experience for the first time wasn’t exactly what I expected. We pre booked with a large party and only one server & felt like one cook the way the food came out. There was other people there but didn’t help the server.

    Poor food quantity, service was extremely slow. Food came out cold. We ordered cocktails which took forever. Small portions and over priced.

    We were at CalMex to celebrate a birthday. We were provided chips/salsa pretty quick after being seated. We placed a drink order which took some time to arrive. Keep in mind the place was not busy. Once we received the drinks we placed our meal order. During the time waiting for food order, we never saw our waiter as we wanted to place an order for more drinks. Eventually the food came out. We placed another drink order. Birthday girl found a hair in her food. They did replace the meal quickly and took the price of meal off the bill. I don’t think we’ll be returning very soon.

    We are regular guests and brought our friends from out of town. They thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant, the ambiance, the service, and the scenery.
