Super huge portions, you can share 1 entree with 2 or even 3 people lol. And the meat is delicious. Everything is made well. I recommend the fish, though it is on the crisper side.

The food here is delicious and the service is fantastic! They were so friendly and fast here, the prices are very fair too. They have a salsa bar with a great variety, very delicious, be sure to grab some chips and enjoy while you are waiting! The crispy tacos are delicious, I preferred the chicken over the beef. Plenty of inside as well as outside seating And easy free parking as well. Excellent option for affordable, authentic Mexican food in the area, highly recommended!

Muy Bueno! I think this might be my new go to spot. I've driven by it for probably 40 years can't believe I've never been in. I enjoyed my combination lunch immensely there today and the friendly service that went with it. Nice Salsa bar too!

I wanted to like this place SO BAD because it's a minute walking distance from my home... But I went there last year for a burrito that grossed me out so much I never returned for over a year. Then this morning I went back to give them another chance... big mistake. I got served the soggiest, limpest and half full burrito sitting in a pool of chicken water Then I took a look at the driest blandest birria tacos I've ever seen and even wonder how they cooked that.... (Ew) It's gross Americanized Mexican food is expected to find in Idaho, not 2 hours north of the border. Ps: I gave the food to my dog.

Poor quality food and service. I was in the Sherman Oaks area so I stopped for a quick lunch. Ordered the 4 taquitos plate. Rice and beans small portion. The taquitos were sitting on ten lettuce and it was a plain grass no tomatoes, no sour cream or anything else. The taste was bland. Salsa bar needs some attention to it. Won't recommend this place.

It is not a gourmet food. Nonetheless, it's an authentic Mexican food.

Ordered a couple of things on ubereats the other day, I’m here for work from CT. Quite possibly the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Memorably good, great portions, great price.

I love this place, the beef tacos are amazing. Across the board, the menu is great. Good food served quickly.

I was surprised. There was an army of a staff. My shrimp were done just right. It’s really a good, no frills restaurant.

The customer service here is terrible, they don't really care about customer concerns & they take an extremely long time to cater to my requests. The guac was okay, but the carne asada was bland & had no flavor. The meat was also really hard, as if I was chewing on expired beef jerky. The grilled chicken was bland and extremely dry. Also, the coffee was served cold, & it took them atleast 30 minutes to get me a hot cup of coffee, which ruined the entire experience. I'm not sure why there's so many good reviews, this place is awful. Dennys is a 5 star restaurant compared to this place.
