I don’t know who came up with the idea of a play place on the patio so you can drink margs and eat in peace while your kids play, but it’s a million dollar idea and all restaurants should take note!

I had the lunch special #10. Generous lunch portions and service was exceptional, but it was also pretty slow. Great industrial meets any-other-El Espolon atmosphere. The cheese in the Chile relleno seemed slightly off to me but wasn't awful. Just different. Great...Read More

Best Mexican cuisine in Jefferson city. Always great service, and have not had any food there that was less than delicious. California burrito with grilled chicken is the best.

There was no wait to get seated, I told them the kind of dish I was looking for, and they found one very close to it. The waiter was so friendly and it made the meal even better.
