Joanne Winfield

This is two places under one roof. It is also an authentic Mexican restaurant that is open before "The Dark Side technically opens. I was there before they start the live entertainment. My friend and I came for the food and stuck around because of the vibe. This place is a the perfect for to take a horror buff. The horror decor will fascinate you. Plenty of interesting mannequin parts to be found. The mole poblano is delicious and so are the Tamale. Cool decor. Live entertainment

To say "I'm not obligated to tip" and in the same sentence say "I'm a bad tiper" is crazy ngl
