The burgers are delicious and pizza is tasty. For vegetarian options, I ate one of the best salads of my life here. Mine had seasoned grilled chicken and came with fresh organic lettuce, cucumber, tomato, avocado, and broccoli that much have been blanched. It had the perfect crunch. Vegetarians could also order veggie style pizza. My second third visit I tried the blackened fish tacos and fish and chips delicious! Whoever wrote bad reviews must be having a bad day or business competition. This place “is” Mulege

My first time to Mulege, I walked around town and we stopped into this bar and restaurant. The best margaritas I have had on this trip. The food and atmosphere was very good. Glad we stopped here and will do it again.

Yummy lunch in beautiful covered deck area. Really enjoyed the mango margaritas, although not very strong. The tortilla chips are delicious and hot, salsa also really good as was our food. My husband is gluten free and dairy free and had no issues finding options to eat. Highly recommended from friends and we'll now recommend as well. The burger and fries at the next table looked delicious!

A must stop in Mulege! Manuel is the best bartender around! Can’t go wrong with the wet burrito Wednesday, French dip Friday or pizza on the weekends... not to mention their amazing margaritas!

I had the garlic fish which was very good. It came with rice, a side salad, and some steamed broccoli. The service was courteous and prompt. The patio was covered and comfortable. I’d definitely go back again.
