  1. Food and drinks were surprisingly very good. I had two tacos. One beef picadillo and one steak chimichurri. Both were very good. I also had their margarita and it was awesome.

    Place was very small and it was crowded, but I definitely recommend it.

  2. Well Well well, we meet again Blockheads. I couldn't resist the chicken wrap, now you think you can control?!! hmm I don't have a chicken wrap problem!!! I came here and yes had to get the wrap again, it's the best one I've had throughout the city aside with the 2 regular sized $5 margaritas and king sized $8. Let's say it was pleasant meal, It's always strange that it's before class too but w/e the mvp however for the night was the chips. Yes the complimentary chips was what stood out. It was great, a tortilla chip to perfection. That by the end of the night we (my friend) had 3 chip bowl refills. Now im starting to get hungry writing this lol

  3. The best part was drinking a frozen margarita in their outdoor space. The margaritas are such a deal – $5 for a plain +$1 for a flavor (I did peach). As most have said, they are strong..so extra kudos.

    The service was average. Once we sat, we got the chips and salsa immediately. However, it look a little long to get our drinks…and to get refills of our drinks. The food was good, too. I got the tomatillo chicken burrito (mini size) with a side salad. I asked for it black beans and spanish rice. The beans were good, but I thought the spanish rice was a little bit dry. The portion was generous! I had my burrito around 6pm, and I was full until I went to sleep around 3am.

    But overall, I think it's a nice, quick meal when the weather is nice. 🙂

  4. I'm pretty sure almost everyone has heard or been to a Blockheads. They have 6 main locations all over the city. They're well-known for their killer drink specials… their Margaritas are hella strong so if you're like me, one or two will most certainly do the trick. It's a great, fun, lively environment for happy hour or dinner. I find myself coming here with my co-workers or with friends out-of-town.

    As I said, their ritas' are delicious and heavy handed. My personal favorite is on the rocks, but their frozen are done well. And if you like that extra flavor, you can add that for additional $. Food wise, not bad. I've tried a bunch of menu items from their Burritos to their Quesadillas. All pretty good. Burritos are HUGE and if you want to go the "healthier" route, you can make it into a salad or ask for a smaller tortilla. For all my vegan and vegetarian friends, they can cater to your needs no problemo.

    During the warmer weather (if that ever comes) they have outdoor seating which is really nice during the summer months. We went on a particularly mild day and they said the wait would be 30-45 minutes if we wanted to sit inside. However, they were very strict in letting us know that if we sat and had a drink outside, we couldn't go inside. Choose one or the other. Doesn't matter if it was only for a rita or two. Oh well.

  5. I ordered the beef tacos and rice and beans. The food was decent, but there are much better tacos at other restaurants. The space was very small. It was definitely a process trying to make my way in and out of this place. There is a huge area outside that is probably fun to hang out in during the summer. I could see it being a popular happy hour spot when the weather permits. I would go back if I was craving Mexican food, made to order quickly.

  6. I've either heard come here or don't come here. Well the cheap margaritas told me to come here. Got here around 3ish on a Saturday. Place was pretty empty and got seated right away. Chips and salsa were brought to the table and my friend and I looked over the menu.

    They have lunch specials for around $11 + change that come with either a soda or lunch size margarita. Went for the Mexican chicken wrap, grilled chicken, corn, lettuce, guac, sour cream, Jack cheese. You can either get a side salad or rice and beans I got the rice and beans. I also got the lunch size margarita. Wrap came grilled and was very tasty. Ingredients stayed completely in the wrap while eating, tortilla wasn't too large and the cheese was perfectly melted. Rice and beans were also a good side for the wrap. Lunch size margarita is smallish but overall it was a nice size for lunch, the margarita itself was great. Perfect balance of booze and the ice was blended perfectly smooth (probably because they are spun in a smoothie machine the whole time). I also got the limited edition Star Wars marg ($6) which had blue Curaçao, peach snapps and I think cranberry (I could be wrong) it was pretty good, but tasted pretty much like a plain margarita.

    Service was nice and prompt, the restaurant itself is pretty small, but it was cozy on a cold day. They also have whole wheat tortillas as an option. $24 for lunch with lunch size marg and a regular size marg including tip is great in my eyes. I will definitely be back.

  7. I previously went to this location on 12-1-15 and was very DISAPPOINTED AND APPALLED! It was very tiny as expected but when I was in line for the bathroom I saw a mouse scatter into the kitchen….. I looked at one of the workers and they simply shrugged their shoulders without a care. I immediately went back to my my table and left! Absolutely repulsed.

  8. We came here after bar hopping and it was my desperate need for a bathroom that made us stop here spontaneously. I had very little expectations since it was in a courtyard and I thought it would be a generic place. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. They gave us a generous bowl of chips and a salsa. The chips were the hard type, not the thin Tostitos type that breaks apart when dipping. The salsa was also packed with flavor, it was super garlicky.
    We ordered the taco dish to share. It came with 2 decent sized tacos that had a layer of soft taco and hars taco. I was surprised they had a choice of hard and soft tacos.  I love hard taco shells and they rarely offer them in restaurants. The 2 tacos came with rice and beans, guacamole and sour cream ($12.95). They had a lot of choices but there was an add on price ($2-3) for the high end meat like steak.
    We got the 2 meat tacos that were basic price.

    Beef picadigallo- the ground beef was so tender and flavorful, not dry at all!
    Grill chicken- the chicken was also packed with flavor. It was super juicy and tender, it seemed to be rotisserie I stead of grilled.
    The rice and beans were also super flavorful. The rice was perfectly cooked and the beans had a nice smoky bacon flavor.
    The only thing disappointing was the guacamole which needed more flavoring, either more spice, garlic or onions.
