I spend $20 here so I did give this place a fair try. The one star is just for health reason but food wise it more like a 2 star. The food is very unsafe. I found black spot in my guacamole from moldy avocado. My chips, some were so stale and old and some were fresh. How do you only give a bag where half of it was stale ? I would have been ok if it was just a few but it was half the bag. Plus the guacamole was just smash avocado, no cooking or mixing involve. You can't even taste the salt or lime which is crazy to charge $5 for. Then my drink was a horchatas. It tastes sour which I don't think it normal for it. I hope it was meant to be sour and not old cuz the chip were old. The burrito was ok. Nothing wrong there but nothing amazing. Again I am worry if it safe cuz everyone else seem sketchy. I really wanna like this place cuz it so close to me. However, the food seem really old and unsafe. Eat at your own risk.

I give them 1 star because I did get what I asked for, however the food was gross. Looks family owned and definitely empathize with times being tough, but I had never seen carne asada like this and with so much lard. The shopping center looks abandoned. Anyways, I made a PSA To my coworkers to spare them.

This little restaurant is located across from a completely dead mall and surrounded by an empty strip mall. Surrounded by this abandoned city, it's easy to pass by this place. It doesn't look like much outside, but once inside, it's like a magic spell. The food is cooked with passion and skill, and it's familiar and at the same time very unique and quite delicious. The music played is tasteful and atmospheric. It's not loud like so many other restaurants, and the prices are reasonable. While you wait for your order to be ready, homemade chips are available with different types of salsas. This little restaurant is well worth the trip to this section of town. It's great for lunch, a casual dinner, or a night out. Once you try this little place, you will be back, and often.

It's clean, quiet, delicious, and inexpensive! Is this the perfect restaurant? The chef is passionate about food. As soon as I tasted, I swooned. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

This little restaurant is located in a section of town that is literally dead. It looks like something out of Mad Max. The rest of the little strip mall is empty except for this restaurant, a small trinket shop, and a check cashing place. The only place with a crowd is the nearby movie theater. it's literally in the middle of nowhere next to a dead shopping mall. But it's well worth visiting. The food is fantastic and filling. Each dish is cooked wonderfully, and with a mix of spices and flavors, the food is not too spicy, but very tasty, and the dishes are familiar, yet different as the same time. The atmosphere is quiet and tasteful, and the music is fantastic. The prices are also reasonable for this quality of food. Whether for a quick bite, or a nice evening out (the quality is that good) this restaurant is an island of quality dining nestled within a wasteland.

Very good if I must say so myself., kinda just needed a quick bite and got some tocos, chef was nice enough to provide me with some free sides and they wasn't bad at all.. was here for my kids Dental appointments down the way..so it's very convenient. Meat was also well cooked and seasoned right and it's amazing...must try guys!!
Driving through San Bernardino, especially on 4th street, you'll swear the city has recently lived through a zombie apocalypse. There aren't many people around or businesses open; the once bustling Carousel Mall has been completely abandoned....but across the street from it, in an ALMOST completely abandoned strip mall, there's a small taco shop you just need to try. Let's start with the complimentary chips and salsa. They do chips and salsa right here: fresh fried, crisp tortilla chips (unsalted - but you can salt them yourself) with three delicious salsas: 1) The Red Sauce is HOT in that burn your tongue and mouth way; The Green Sauce is minimally spicy and delightfully tart; 3) The Chunky Red Sauce is devoid of spice, but has a great tomato and cilantro flavor (it could practically be pizza sauce). Basically, they've got something for everyone here. Next up: the burrito I ordered. Served on a Styrofoam plate, when I removed it from the counter, it almost snapped the plate in half! This burrito was HEAVY. What makes this burrito absolutely delicious is that each ingredient that goes into it, tastes great! The carne asada was moist and soft with a delicate amount of seasoning. The rice was flavorful. It had just the right amount of sour cream and pico de gallo to compliment the other flavors going on inside that tortilla. Lastly, there was a perfect amount of cheese in the burrito: just enough to give it a cheesy taste every few bites. Overall, the burrito was delicious. The only thing I was bummed about was there were no "diet" (coke/pepsi) options or iced tea (I don't drink sugary stuffs) offered. They did have bottled water though, so, ultimately, not the end of the world. I'll definitely be back with some coworkers to try some other stuffs off the menu. If that al pastor is half as good as that carne asada, I'll make this a regular lunch spot!

AwesomeI think we've ordered almost everything that they have to offer I've been here many many times and this place is the best I think personally the best part in my opinion is the bar the salsa bar that is it is absolutely out of this world this is what I would call perfect description of authentic the food isn't salty very rich they use all fresh ingredients you definitely can't complain about the price
