It was really a wonderful experience! It's my first time here and I'm quiet satisfied by the tasty food they served. Everything seems to be accurate on my taste. The entire interior is nice. I think the building is built to perfection. The staffs were very kind and diligent. They manage to keep the area clean and organize. It's just so easy to park too. They had this generous area for parking too.

My daughter brought me here for Dia de las Madres. It wasn't too crowded. They also have outdoor seating. Food was delicious, so was the passion fruit margarita....

This place is better than all the places in Socal (outside of LA). The Chile Verde was absolutely amazing. Tender pork, flavorful salsa. I am incredibly impressed.

Update to previous review with a dinner review and it was exceptional. The food and service were so much better than my initial review. Definitely coming back for dinner! Got the grilled seafood with beans and rice that had clams, mussels, crab, shrimp, fish and maybe scallops (see pic of amazing food), carne asada tacos which were ehh okay and enchiladas that were yummy! The star of the show was the Molcajete De Mariscos!! Lunch review - The food was pretty okay for a Mexican spot. Mexican food is my favorite! Service is just okay. I definitely didn’t expect much, but they did try to get over on us on a couple of beers we ordered and charged us double!! So be sure to check your tab!

My go to spot every few months. The salsa is spicy! I have to blend this with the mild salsa. The chimichanga was a good proportion & delicious.
