This was our 1st time eating here and will not be our last. The food was fresh and tasty and everything you would expect from a good Mexican restaurant. The salsa and chips were wonderful. I had a fish burrito and she had a chorizo burrito. They were served wet with green, red or tomatillo sauce. The guacamole was fresh as well. And the bill was surprisingly reasonable. The staff was attentive to our needs.

Tasty eats and friendly, accommodating service. Great chips and salsa and filling entrees. "XXX" spicy hot sauce on request (awesome!). Spacious indoor dining area but, for now, patio dining only (pandemic restrictions). Relaxing and enjoyable. It doesn't seem very noticeable from the nearby main road but totally worth finding (just use Google Maps!). Convenient location and easy parking.

We decided to try it again husband got the chili verde he said it absolutely had no taste just big chunks of meat I got a cheese Christmas that was a nightmare and burned so we're going to look for someplace else .A waitress that wasn't our server came over took the money put it up by the register and then came back and said we only gave her $40!! We know for a fact we put $60 down on the table, my advice is don't pay cash put down a credit card.

Love this North County Gem we've been going to for 20+ years. Incredible food, fun service, and great prices. Chicken Tacos rule. They only use breast meat, and it's moist and delicious. Shell is a perfect crunch. B is my go-to choice on lunch special. Maryann is absolute sweetheart.

This is the best restaurant for chille rellanos in town, bar none! I'm always on the hunt for good chille rellano & this restaurant hands down is THE BEST! Their salsa is also bomb: made fresh daily. It's family run, the service is excellent & the prices are extremely reasonable. They only serve beer & wine & wine margaritas, but i'll curb my desire for a real margarita any day for their phenominal food!
