Weirdly empty, we felt like we were intruding. Menu items listed that we were told weren’t available. Food was okay, but it took over 30 mins, and there was a toddler with is who wasn’t offered a cracker or anything. Will not return, it was awkward.

Tucked away on the main strip is a welcoming clean and auténtico mexican restaurant with excellent guac, salsa verde and fresh juices. The perfect place for a mid afternoon snack or meal.

The chicken burrito I just ate here is easily The Best Burrito I’ve ever had!The melted cheese topped by crema fresca on the OUTSIDE was a real treat! The was full-flavored w/o being overpowering!The generous portion makes 2 meals easily. I can’t recommend this place enough!Parking: There’s a huge lot outside serving several area businesses.

Delicious fresh food, nice atmosphere, but kind of closed in mostly due to the lack of space. Location is horrible and ugly but restaurant itself is nice. Staff is not overly friendly or welcoming just sit,order,eat,bye.

I just drove 350 mi to get a fantastic bowl of "Caldo de Res." I used to eat here all the time. This place never disappoints...

The Molcajete is what I order. It's a huge meal, which is why I order it. I have leftovers for the next day or two. Normally the server's speak a little English, but not always. It's a BYOB like most Mexican restaurants. Plenty of seating. Food is made to order, so it's always hot and fresh. They also have a small Mexican grocery store attached to the restaurant as well as next door.

Was waiting over an hour for food to arrive. Drinks were ok could’ve been better. Wouldn’t come back here too crowded and poor service.

A completely unknown and low profile restaurant. I chanced upon in quite accidentally because I couldn't find parking at the beach front and started looking for parking further inland. That's what brought me to this parking lot and there was this little Mexican restaurant and I said why not, let's have a bite. The moment they served their customary welcome nachos and salsa, I knew this place was special. The salsa was quite authentic Mexican, unlike what's served in Tex-Mex restaurants across the country, including the best of them in New York City or Jose Tejas in Woodbridge, for that matter. If you are not looking for a posh restaurant and would rather have truly good and authentic Mexican food, then this is the place you need to visit.
