“This restaurant is very spacious and clean. The staff is very friendly. We ordered taquitos dorados and they were HUGE. They were very flavorful. The pupusas were also HUGE! These were also delicious. The last plate was garanachas these were ok I’m not a fan of the cheese I believe it was cheddar. The meat was a little salty. Their prices are average and very worth it based on the size of their meals. We would definitely come back! They also have home made tortillas for tacos and have aguas frescas as well as sodas.“

“I ordered the Fried Shrimp Bowl and I love how the sriracha Mayo packs a great punch with delicious creamy flavor. Pairs well with a coke.The experience was overall very positive! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and the place is super clean. Food was ready within 5 minutes.“
“Staff lost track of us after seating but it was busy and not for too long. They more than made up for it with fantastic food, drinks and recommendations. Used to go to nicks on 2nd when we lived in long Beach. This fills the void and exceeds it.“
“Great restaurant with fantastic food, great views of the harbor, indoor and outdoor patio seating with a full bar. They're open 6 days a week but closed on Mondays. They also serve brunch. Plenty of parking too which is always a good thing, Definitely recommend this fine family owned restaurant that has been in San Pedro for nearly 40 years.“
“Really fantastic Mexican food! Highly recommend. I enjoy going here both to have a great meal AND to support this lovely local family-owned business. The chile verde is truly exceptional and tonight I had a shredded beef taco dorado that was delicious and a great chile relleno. The service is great, too.“
