Just the right buzz.

Dark and a little cramped, but the margaritas are worth it! Not weak but not too strong. Great for afterwork relaxation.

• Pros: great drinks, inexpensive valet
• Cons: cramped, food is only so-so

Casa Average

by mds02 at Citysearch

I tried this place and afterwards tried to figure out why it is so popular. The food was not bad, but it was far from exceptional. After reviewing the posts, it appears many talk about the Margaritas more than the food. At any rate we feel CV is OK if you are in the area, but we would not consider going out of our way to eat here.

• Cons: prices

Love the Vega

by Pepe at Citysearch

I have been going to Casa Vega since junior high, and it seems to get better with age. Don't go there if you're starving, as you might have to wait over an hour for a table. Do go there if you are in the mood for Juan's amazing margaritas and some fun people watching. Nie times out of ten you will run into someone you know, or at least someone you WANT to know. The staff there is terrific - from management to busboys.

• Pros: Staff, Margaritas, Tostadita
• Cons: Wait for table, Over-crowding

When you're hungry and thirsty

by Micki at Citysearch

What do you do when it's late at night and you're in the mood to indulge? You slip into the very dim Casa Vega for a tart margarita and lip-smacking plate of nachos. A great place to go with friends or your Sweetie.

Romantic

by Nicole at Citysearch

Great food and drinks in a sexy romantic I don't want the world to see me atmosphere. When your eyes adjust to the dark look at who is at the table next to you, I bet you recognize them.

• Pros: Fun, Romantic

Great Margaritas!

by Oscar at Citysearch

The food is very good, but the margaritas are fantastic. On a Friday or Saturday night, you may have to wait an hour or more for a table, but the eclectic crowd is perfect for people watching, and the drinks will help make the time pass quickly. Parking can be difficult as well (try the lot across from the restaurant on Fulton), but worse case, there is valet.

If you're not that hungry, the Mexican Pizza (regular or Vegetarian) is a good bet.

• Pros: Margaritas, Bar Tenders, People Watching
• Cons: Long Wait, Parking, Smokers outside
