This place is atmosphere and shear phun!!! Either a love it or hate it relationship will exist after you've visited and for me I love it and come almost every Friday night... I sooooo need it! I cannot continue through to the next week until I have my chicken taco and a cold pitcher of Creemore. It's no frills Tex-Mex and you are going to get messy. Paper towels on the walls and a sheet of brown paper on the table, what more do you need... utensils? Hipsta please! Pass anyone of the 25 hot sauces and lets get at it.
I love it at the Icehouse and can understand how some can be taken aback a wee bit... well a lot of if they come unprepared and unaware. Yes... you may wait on a busy night, but take a peek as to how small the place is. So take it for what it is and get used to it, cause Icehouse is an experience as much as it is most likely the best Tex-mex in this city.
