This place is amazing!! So beautiful and cozy. The food is delicious, the wine, the music, the vibe and atmosphere!! Gustavo is a sweetheart. Suggested recommendations, and went out of his way to make us feel fantastic! He went above and beyond to attend to my friend and I. Amber is also very sweet and attentive. My favorite spot from now on. The Tres muchachos, (owners) are very hands on and catering. I strongly recommend this spot to anyone! Beautiful for hosting events too. ??

The food was not good. The presentation is nice but the food lacked flavor and is over priced. I ordered the chilaquiles with al pastor. The tortillas were dry (almost no sauce) and strangely greasy. The al pastor meat was sprinkled on and very fatty. Very disappointed because chilaquiles is my favorite breakfast. The eggs were served cold. My friend ordered Berry Berry French toast. This was also a disappointment as they only added 4 raspberries and 2 small French toast. Not very berry.. but it was better thank the chilaquiles. Lastly, once the final charge posted to account, I was over charged by 35%. My bill was $70 and I was charged $95. How? Why? It was already over priced and I tipped cash. The only possible was it was a nice environment and the people were nice. I wouldn't return or recommend.Parking: Minimal parking

This place is a real find. Tucked away in a corner of a strip mall, they offer surprisingly excellent gourmet food. The fish they specialize in is superb. The chorizo pasta and paella are delicious.The shrimp in the dish are some of the best we have tasted. Large tender juicy perfectly cooked delicious. Grilled fish tacos with cabbage , pico de gallo very yummy. Owners and employees all very friendly. Planning to visit again frequently

Delicious selection of wine! Every glass exceeded my expectation! The server/ possibly one of the muchachos was so attentive and gave us the rosemary hummus on the house as well as 2 free tastings. The rosemary artichoke hummus was so delicious and unlike anything I've ever tried before. I give it a solid 12/10. Unfortunately we didn't try out other food options on the menu as we had reservations for another restaurant, but we will most definitely be back to enjoy all of the delicious items they have to offer! We came for my husband's birthday, but we did not tell them that we were here for a special occasion, yet Alejandro still unintentionally made this such a beautiful birthday experience for my husband. I couldn't recommend this place more!

Food is beyond amazing! Staff is very friendly. Recommend getting chilaquiles OMG. Mimosas are to die for. Costa Mesa hidden gem. Do not think twice about it.

first time here & will be returning so i can eat the best seafood pesto pasta i’ve had in a long time. the fish and chips was pretty special too. can’t wait to return to try more of their menu selection. the service was excellent- it seemed like everyone worked together to provide an excellent dining experience.
We came in late at closing for an order to go. But the ambiance and management offered us to eat there. He poured us both a wonderful glass of wine while we waited. The food was delicious. I had the pork on banana leaf and my girlfriend had the tacos. We can't wait to go back.

Food A - Service A - Ambiance AUpon entering this funky little establishment my immediate reaction was that it couldn't accommodate our party of 4 because of the unique shape of its dining room yet on a brisk December evening we were so glad to have sat outside in the patio because the heat lamp was firing and the mellow tunes and comfortable lighting made for a perfect setting for the evening. We were greeted by a kind and friendly hostess and then met Alejandro and Chibo* who attended to our every whim. They're professional casual and know their $#!+ when it comes to flavor pairing and beverages. They let us taste some refreshing sparkling wine and guided us through the menu.The quickly served ceviche was a refreshing start followed by a lightly fried calamari that was hit. Our entrees ranged from the home made chorizo tacos, shrimp and pork belly tacos to and a deconstructed shredded pork tamale and rice in a banana leaf. Brunch is served all day and night so we also tried the BLT and finished with a delectable flan. Next time I'll be ordering the Ciopino and the juevos rancheros with chorizo. We are huge fans of the food, service and ambience yet what brought us in was philanthropy. I loved that these guys supported orphanages in Peru with a portion of the proceeds from our meal.It was a memorable evening for my family and we are grateful for these restaurateurs that a grateful for their customers... it shows in all of the details. Gracias Jefe.

Have been here twice. Both times the food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Their prok belly tacos and ceviche tostada are two of my favorites, but it really doesn't matter what you choose. All of their food tastes amazing. Give them a try.

Small restaurant at the corner of a shopping center. Don't worry the construction fool you, it's definitely there and worth the visit!Even though we knew we couldn't eat half of it, we ordered calamari, the tuna melt, and the "veg". All were beyond excellent, and would go back if we're in town again or here longer.The service was great, the beer and wine selections were excellent, I can find nothing to complain about the place!

This place did not disappoint! Man such a flavorful breakfast burrito and cool restaurant! This is one of the higher quality ones i have had in a while! Don't miss out if you like breakfast burritos. We also got some mimosas which are always a fun time too. Our server was super helpful, kind and quick! They have plenty of seats between inside and outside. We went for brunch on a Saturday and it wasn't crowded at all. I think they have some dinner options too which I can see it being a good time with the vibe inside. Highly recommend this place! We will be back to try other things- or get another breakfast burrito...
Alejandro is the man.
