A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Food This family-owned restaurant is a true gem! The food is consistently delicious, with authentic flavors that keep me coming back at least once a week—sometimes more. Everything I’ve tried has been fantastic, from the flavorful tacos to the hearty burritos. The staff is always warm and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is simple, clean, and comfortable, with a no-frills charm that lets the food shine. If you’re looking for great Mexican food made with care, this spot is a must-visit!
Staff is friendly and accommodating, the restaurant was clean and food promptly served. But if you are looking for authentic Mexican, this is not the place. If you are used to wanna-be, Mexican food with excellent service, this is your place. The asada was oddly greasy, and rice and beans like what I would expect in a school cafeteria. Guacamole was bland. Tortilla chip tasted like they were fried in rancid oil. Tiny, complimentary sides of salsa, was flavorless and very generic tasting. You want authentic? Try Sophia’s or Vero’s Restaurants in Pasadena. I wasted $44 on an order and don’t even want to finish the food. In this economy, food should taste dang, quite nice.
I meal and two beers 39.95 Barely any protein on the plate ! Nice friendly people, but very small protein portions for the price!
Place is clean and staff are nice. Food is good . So my Family ordered chicken mole, flautas, Carne asada tacos, Shrimp with red sauce and cow tongue with green sauce and everything was delicious. They also brought out a Habanero green hot sauce which was good.But not spicy for my taste buds.As you know I like spice! So let me just review the food now the Chicken mole was really good , Although it did kind of taste like donya maria's mole I would recommend it for those who don't like Mole that's too strong. The floutas were good.I ordered chicken and it was really tasty.It was juicy and the flavor was there.I love the crunchy flour tortilla. The tacos were good.It was beef and they come with green sauce and red sauce.Both were good, very flavorful.Typical taco meal love it! So The shrimps and red sauce Is supposed to be hot, but I'm immune to hot sauces.This was really good.Has a good kick and it's delicious.The shrimps are big and it feels you up.I would order this again. And last But not least the Cow tongue in green sauce.That one is my favorite , I actually ordered this couple of times that I've been here.This one is Best it comes with Tomatillo green sauce and onion. Now all of the dishes come with rice and beans.And those are really good too.I highly recommend this place ten outta ten
Not fancy, but it will do when you want delicious Mexican food (while also watching a Dodger game). The service is top notch along with menu items. Taco Tuesday is a wallet saver if you are wanting to eat out, but not have it be a small investment.
