oil covers EVERYTHING. the tapas taste good but the obsessive amounts of oil detracts from the experience. I want to eat food, not just olive oil

Tasty margaritas and good mexican food. Its located in down town Salem only a few blocks from the University

We've been going here for years. Food is always fresh, as are the drinks. They have a great selection of tequila, and also have tastings.
