The modern Mexican decor of this happening Davis Square restaurant creates a cozy feel that welcomes diners to linger with one of their interesting tequila based cocktails like the refreshing cucumber margarita. You'll find groups of friends hanging at the bar while waiting for tables, or just for drinks as this neighborhood spot has great appeal. Regulars often come for brunch when the Mexican inspired menu includes creative tacos, and breakfast items. Included are the over the top vaquero hash: a combination of 2 fried eggs, achiote-braised pork, potatoes, kale, roasted poblano, onion rajas, & chipotle mayo that will dazzle your taste buds. Dinner at the Painted Burro gives diners a bite of creative Mexican with items like duck quesadilla.
