Had an absolutely incredible time with Joe at El Pueblo. This guy is a legend. All I can say is he goes above and well beyond the call of duty. Amazing customer service and hospitality. Come in here and try his bloody marry. My wife had his Paloma and absolutely loves it.… Thanks Joe. You’ve made regulars of us.

My new favorite spot to have Happy Hour! The carne asada is delicious in a taco and /or burrito and the salsa bar is fresh and clean. The bartender Joe is excellent at making cocktails, including a delicious expresso martini!
