Fiery Mexican grub and an even hotter bar scene heat up the Back Bay's answer to Southwestern chic.

The Scene
Southwestern kitsch prevails at this popular hangout: Horns hang on adobe-painted walls and a giant stuffed buffalo (nicknamed Iron Mike Bison) proudly watches over the bar. A religious following of margarita fans congregates in the bar, a premier after-work pickup spot, though lofty ceilings often make conversation difficult. Service is dependable during non-busy spells. Come summer, the sidewalk patio proves exceptionally popular (in other words, expect to wait). Holidays like Cinco de Mayo and Marathon Monday bring large, boisterous crowds and long lines to get in.

The Food
The solid Tex-Mex menu features sizzling fajitas and customized quesadillas, served in gigantic portions with fresh sides. Robust appetizers (heaping plates of nachos, crunchy taquitos) and Southwestern-tinged sandwiches are popular lunch options. Fishbowl-sized margaritas offer a Southwestern rebuttal to scorpion bowls, and pack just as potent a punch. Save room for the apple crispinas dessert--a delicious Mexican interpretation of apple pie.
