As soon as I walked in I knew I was going to have some good real Mexican food. The gentleman in the front recommended some awesome tacos and I tried their fried fish. I'm definitely coming back because it was so delicious.

If you like Hot & Spicy , this is the place to go. I didn't like that they put salsa on Everything for you! I don't like hot So I had to Return my sopes even tho I said salsa on the SIDE ! They forgot then he was a bit annoyed Otherwise its clean has good variety But is a bit bland. Especially the Menudo!

Family owned and the kindest people running this business. The food is tasty and the atmosphere is no frills but super clean. I had the sopes. My husband had a barbocoa burrito and my son had chicaron in Chile verde. He said the rice and beans were delicious. We will go back. Prices are

The menudo was great. Remember to ask for “grano or maíz”, if not, you’ll only get the meat. The staff was friendly and helpful with questions. The establishment is a little dated and not the cleanest, but overall, I had a wonderful breakfast experience.

Food is decent but waaay too overpriced for their portions. $20 (plus tax) for a fried tilapia plate is really expensive compared to other places in Tustin and Santa Ana. I was originally going to get that because it did look good when someone else got it, but because of the price I ended up going with a bowl of menudo instead. It was a super small portion for $15- I wasn't expecting anything crazy but it was average in taste & didn't even come with hominy, which is kind of disappointing. The broth was also really greasy, I left my spoon in for a few seconds and there was a chunk of fat solidifying around the handle. I should've taken a picture... Also, their street style tacos are $3.25 (plus tax) a piece! :/I have no problem paying more for good food as long as it's well deserved, and I totally understand inflation-- but to overcharge on food that isn't super costly to make is kind of a bummer.I would recommend Tacos El Patron in Anaheim for tacos and Taqueria El Gordito in Santa Ana OR Sarinana's Restaurant for everything else. Reasonable prices, crazy good food, and they're ALWAYS busy.Pros: authentic atmosphere, clean interior, friendly staff, food comes out fast, bathrooms available to the public, decent amount of menu optionsCons: overpriced, they never have tamales (even though they offer it on their menu), average food (not necessarily a con)
