Great selection of food items and great tasting too! Prices are fair and the place is mostly clean with the exception of overflowing trash cans!

Food is delicious and fresh everytime. Worth every penny especially if you are looking for shrimp tacos and fresh ceviche.

I just don't understand how places like these can charge you a little over $4 for a plain taco where you can find street tacos that'll cost you half the price or even less.

Place was the worse I've been too... the food was cold when served, the service was terrible the girl would be bothered for any little extra thing you asked for, and the place was just dirty food all over the floors, plus they don't do your orders correct.

The food is nasty do not come here the girls never get your order right and have an ugly attitude when you ask them for anything and they take forever to give you your food

The shrimp cocktail was great. HOWEVER the smell of the DIRTY bathrooms literally made me dry heave when I went in. The tp dispenser had so much dust on it it's clear they don't clean often - the trash can was over flowing onto the floor. I literally can not eat here again. I'm nauseated because of the smell.

the food here is alright but the service wasn’t it. the attitude is why i’m rating it low fr i don’t know why you think its ok to shove the tray at the edge of the table causing the salsa cups to spill on the ground making me throw them away. what’s the aggresion for?

Tenía tiempo que no venía y cambió muchísimo el lugar. Los trabajadores están amargados te miran como si les debes algo. No hay salsa bar (tienes que pagar por tus salsas y limones ) Solo te dan cierta cantidad de servilletas. La cerveza ya no se sirve en vasos de vidrio. No more beans and rice. No combos. Todo más caro.

They use way too much plastic for their carryout orders, salsa is prepackaged with a plastic film that is extremely hard to open. Other than that, food is okay not worth the price in my opinion. It was excited to try the potato tacos and it was the smallest potato taco I've ever seen.

Food is great and the people are awesome! But, be sure to check your order. Several times they have forgotten an item for me. It's usually a bag of chips or churros. If you're still there they'll of course get the order right. But recently I got home and realized my churros were not in the bag. I went back a few days later to pick up dinner and let them know they skimmed on my churros the previous trip but they didn't offer to replace them. They pretty much told me I was out of luck. I'm a regular customer, I would have figured replacing the churros that they had forgotten would be the least they can do.

Love their fish tacos here! Big chunks of swai, battered and fried Baja style or grilled, they are addictive. $3.99 ea, or $3 on Wednesdays. They top them with lettuce, tomato, and the traditional mayonnaise dressing, plus give you little cups of picante red and green salsas made in-house. I have also tried their grilled shrimp tacos. Good, but the fish tacos are what have won my heart. I brought home a small container of ceviche made from Krab (crab flavored fish) that was decent, too. The "small" order made me two meals. The churros ($2 ea or $5 for 3) are made to order, so crisp and warm, not kept under a heat lamp where they end up tough. Delicious! Such a decadent treat that brings back happy memories of the first, yard long ones I ate in Tijuana from a street vendor some 40 years ago. These are just as good, just smaller and missing the authentic olefactory ambiance. These have a cajeta (caramelized condensed milk) filling that oozes out when you bite into those crisp, cinnamony sugar-coated temptations. I've only been here once before, but decided they beat the competition for this area, so well worth a slight drive, 10 miles?, for us. So happy to have found them!
