Very friendly staff that work here. The food was so good. I had a two combo meal deal. Mine was a cheese enchilada and a fully loaded beef burrito. There was so much food that I took my burrito home.My friends even took home leftovers. We will be back...

The ratings are high and it’s fair. Pleasantly surprised. Ingredients are high quality and the flavor profile is on point. Beans and rice could be better. With that said, considering the location, this is 10 / 10 and a staple of the

I love this place. It's a must try. Ive been getting the chili Colorado since I was a kid. Nothing has changed. It's a delicious sauce that tastes like a dark mole sauce. I love how the meat melted in my mouth with a silky smooth sauce. It came out super hot. I love how you get endless chips. The servers are on point and kept everything full. I had a great time.brought me back to when I was a kid. It was better than I remember.

I'm not sure why but I felt like we were being ignored or at least given the bare minimum of service., which is curious because years ago I had meals at this restaurant and was treated well. Not so this time. Staff didn't seem very friendly. As I said the bare minimum of service. As far as the food is concerned, well, I ordered two shredded beef tacos with beans and rice. Now when I go to an authentic Mexican restaurant I expect authentic Mexican food. The beans and rice were okay, a little bland but okay. But those tacos! I surely didn't expect Taco Bell tacos from La Placita. Shells from a box and beef that needed major seasoning. Terrible!! Which is weird because my wife ordered a a la carte taco which she enjoyed. But hers was a true corn tortilla that was grilled to her liking, not a pre-formed shell taken from a box. I don't know, maybe it was the hat I was wearing. Not too many Dodgers fans in NorCal. But whatever the reason for poor service and poor food(surprising) I won't be back. Too many other Mexican restaurants to choose from.

We love this place and taken many friends here. The person who complained about the salsa must have grabbed the red dispenser. They have two and the red one is the mild one. We call it Minnesota Mexican. No insults intended to anyone, just our way of saying something is extra mild. The other bottle has more bite.

Best Mexican food around period. The Posole is amazing and made fresh everyday which is clutch during the winter cold season. It's pretty much always packed but for good reason so plan ahead, worth the wait!

So good! This is a small restaurant with incredible service. The food it the best. Full of flavor and spice if you like. The wait staff remembers their clients and are always so friendly. Tables are cleaned off and ready with virtually no wait. The cleanliness is great as well. Seating, tables are wiped down after each party and floors are kept clear. Larger parties are accommodated with the enter tables. Their booths are decent in comfort with so many fans, the bounce is better in some than others. Ice tea is fresh and tasty every time with refills before we even think to ask. Chips and salsa never run out and the chips are warm and fresh. There is usually one or two staff refilling the sauces for dipping. We appreciate the heat options for the dishes we like. He likes HOT, I like medium and they are not at all stingy with the serving sizes. If there is a wait, they will text you when your table is ready.
