Generic dining. Nothing special. Incredible margaritas. With the mexican options you have in this area go somwhere else. Your food is served on paper plates which adds to the less than perfect atmosphere.

If you love authentic Mexican food, try Conejitos. I've eaten there and you can't go wrong with anything you order. The Margaritas, salsa and chips are worth a visit. Try it!!!

Why Conejito's is held in such reverance I will NEVER know! Maybe because after 3 or 4 two buck margaritas, even the slop they pass off as food tastes good.
