“ The three soft taco plate was beautiful and delicious Topped with a grilled onion jalapeño radish and much more. Can't wait till next time! ”
“ Overall really good food. Chili colorado and chile Verde were really tasty and tender. The tortillas were dry and hard though. The chile relleno was really huge and alright, but not traditional. Chile was hard and wrapped in an omelet instead of an egg batter. Good flavor, but not what we expected. Beans tasted a little old and needed more lard. Portions are big. Nice patio area for our doggies. Reasonably priced. ”
“ My boyfriend and I stopped here on our way back from Central California. We saw it had great reviews and noticed they have two locations, but this one was more convenient for us and had the best ratings. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re hungry and in the area! We shared the chili cheese fries, which were a pleasant twist on the classic, loaded with beans and carne—check out the photos for a look! We also ordered a bacon cheeseburger (without tomatoes) and the papa taquitos with all the toppings. Everything was genuinely delicious, and we had no complaints about our meal. It was the perfect spot for a tasty, affordable lunch. The place was clean, bustling with people, and the outdoor seating made for a lovely day. Good food, great value, and no complaints from us! ”
“ Surprisingly good quality food for such a place. Just off a busy road, a few tables, a counter and fast service. On the menu mostly mexican sea-food. My choice was a hot dish with shrimps and two tostadas: with octopus and shrimps (served cold). Onion rings to make sure I do not leave hungry. As always, I ended up ordering too much. But I have not regretted any of the meals. All fresh, tasty, and... nicely served on paper plates! After all, it is a fast food shack. ”
“ Large portions, always delicious food. We took our food to go like usual but there is plenty of outdoor seating and some indoor seating as well. Taco salad was enough for 2 people easily, get dessert too because their churros and flan are delicious. ”
