This place is excellent! The atmosphere at this bar is like a 1980's/1990's Mexican style bar you would find in immigrant communities across California or a border city like Tijuana or Mexicali. The bar staff is like whatever, and I enjoyed the drag queens. The male strippers are excellent and very accessible. I was captivated to say the least! I would definitely go back! I would like to visit when they do the shower show. 🔥
