Another one of my childhood favorites. I remember summers where I would come down to El Portal with some friends and order what I could with my allowance money. I'm glad to see that the restaurant has not changed and the food is still delicious like always. I ordered the chicken fajitas and it came with three corn tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, rice, beans, and some lettuce. It was smokey and seasoned really well, my only gripe is that it was really salty. The horchata I ordered really helped with that. The horchata was creamy and sweet. The birria tacos were delicious, the meat was tender and really juicy. I loved the consume that came with it. It is lacking in the spice department, I wish it had more oomf to it.

This hidden gem is lovely! Great family ambiance. Breakfast buffet on Sundays. Authentic and delicious dishes. The staff is super friendly. Would go again.

This was my idea of a authentic Mexican food restaurant at one point. They offered very good food and service at a reasonable price. But my last experience was nothing great. I won't necessarily go as far as me being black American Witness this last experience to be gross and very unconvenient for the price. I ordered a super steak burrito along with chicken enchilada for my wife and I had hair in my burrito I called to explain to them that I had here in my burrito and they offered to make me another one the account for me to travel to pick another one up so I did when I got there the young man gave me my order I make it home it was a chicken torture I'll give them one more chance but if I have the same experience I recommend canceling them off.

Nice, pleasant environment with delicious food and great drinks from the bar. The chicken soup is a great starter. No losers on the menu at all. Families are welcome too!

I had a good time here. My food was good. I got a crispy taco combo. The refried beans were my favorite.

Great food, nice inside. Took a star off because of the 9 times I've been there, they never asked once how your meal is, if you need a refill on your beverages, more chips, etc. Many times the staff are standing around by the cash register and don't make eye contact or scan in room to see if anyone needs anything. It's almost impossible to get someone's attention when you need more soda, iced tea or whatever it is you're drinking. They need to fix that. Then it would be perfect.

HORRIBLE service! RACIST/ DISCRIMINATION employees to customers at this restaurant towards non-Hispanic customers Supposedly there's also no manager on duty.....soo who will take responsibility if something happens? First of all, I would never write a review on negative service but after tonight this is the first! My family (family of 3) and I decided to try this restaurant out and we got a cold shoulder from the waiter right when we arrived We waited 30-40mins on our food to arrived We asked for chips and water and never received it until I asked multiple times (why would I need to beg for service since we are paying customers) Don't wanna get into too much detail but I hope the OWNER of this restaurant can READ this review ****Just beware of racism/discrimination at this restaurant! Definitely will spread the word on Nextdoor and fellow San Leandro/San Lorenzo neighbors!

Great ambiance Excellent food Extensive seafood menu list Menudo was rich and very tasty! Salsa Fresca was unforgettable :-) with complimentary corn chips. Yumm! Waiters were very attentive and ensured we were attended to. Overall excellent. Would love to come back and have their menudo as a regular. Also to try their under $15 tortas. We were really tempted to try out more seafood items they are known for but we were so stuffed. Saving our appetite for our future visits!
