Absolutely fantastic Mexican food at a reasonable price. We have high standards for Mexican food and the enchiladas were fantastic. Highly recommend.

This is my go-to spot for awesome Mexican food in West Hollywood. Their nachos and tacos are great and my wife usually comes for their pozole. Prices are not bad for a decent amount of great tasting food and lovely atmosphere.

I was craving a burrito after finishing a hike nearby and this spot was PERFECT! A walk up and order counter with a couple of tables to sit at outside. We were there on a Saturday for lunch and it was easy to snag a table, plus our food came out pretty quick. I was a little annoyed about having to order chips and salsa separately, versus coming with the meal, but did so anyway. There were several different salsa options, but you need to ask the staff working at the counter for help serving these up. The grilled chicken burrito was incredible. Totally hit the spot. They have spicy salsa options, which I highly recommend trying if you enjoy foods on the spicier side. Parking is not readily available here, so be prepared to look for street options.

So it's definitely a chill spot to hangout and try cocktails. The cocktails are fantastic and I dont even like tequila. So many tequila options for all you tequila people. The food is bland in my opinion. So whenever I go it's for drinks

I ordered a carnitas burrito and jamaica. As I was waiting, the business owner struck up conversation and we spoke a bit about the restaurant, the area, and Mexican food in general. He was extremely nice and sociable. He asked his employees to upgrade my burrito free of charge and it came out shortly after. The carnitas was crispy but not greasy or dry. It was a delicious meal that stood out from the average LA mex restaurant. The outdoor seating was a little chilly for the season but I imagine would be quite nice a different time of year. I also recommend getting the salsa rojo ;)

Please do not spend your money here. Their portions are so small for the price. I ordered a chilaquiles plate which came out to $15 and the portion wasn't even enough to feed a small child. Maybe ownership is suffering right now, but still doesn't mean you have to jack up the prices!!

I've been going here off and on because they're close to my house. I've gotten almost everything on the menu but their meat is often burned. I've asked for avocado in burritos and they wrap the burritos in a way that always makes the ingredients unevenly distributed. Avocado all on one side, meat on the other side. Their mole enchiladas are actually pretty good but they only give you two and it's really overpriced. I've had their breakfast burritos many many times and the egg is always overcooked sometimes burned. They don't scramble the eggs with whatever meat or filling you order. I always want chorizo in my breakfast burritos, here they cook the chorizo separately from the egg. Again the meat is all on one end of the burrito, not evenly distributed. This place is good enough if you're really hungry and can't go anywhere else.

Delicious burritos! I had the surf and turf super burrito, tastes almost homemade. Service was good and simple. Def one of our go-to's in the area

I'm always a sucker for a taco and my husband can live off of breakfast burritos. We did a quick search and we're not disappointed. The staff was so kind and patient, giving us tons of ideas and options of what to order. You eat outside and a little drizzle in LA is rare so be prepared for that. Overall, really enjoyed it here
