great food & great atmosphere

by wackyjack

Angels and Mariachis is a great addition to Division Street. We needed a good fun Mexican restaurant and we got one!! The food is great and you can tell its fresh. Guacamole is made to order (you can make it spicy and take out cilantro!) There are over 5 different types of salsa and the queso funditio is out of this world. The bar itself is amazing. It?s got a ton of character but far from cheesy. There is a space to move around, good drinks, great music and it draws in a good crowd of people. There is also outdoor patio. Highly recommend it!

• Pros: great food great atmosphere

Tacos, tequila and Tecate from Eat Well. Drink Better.

A carefully weathered sign featuring a skull and six-shooters announces the cantina--a very Disney scene when viewed in the greater context of thriving Division. Clapboard siding, rusticated wood and aged tin ceilings all add to the roadhouse look, but handsomely upholstered benches and a hard-hitting soundtrack of pop and rock dismiss the illusion. As does the fancified Mexican food, like steak fajitas that arrive sizzling with tortillas, rice and beans. Mexican beers rule the bar, but decent margaritas and a good tequila list get fair play, too.
