The food was alright. I had a carnita grande burrito which was huge. The flavor of the sauce was alright but not very flavorful. The meat was really fatty.

This place is great. We went on Sunday during their brunch. Bottomless Hermosa, margarita, bloody Mary. Pozole was bomb . Please don’t go when I go. J/k. Sometimes they have mariachi playing too.

Seen this place in a reel on Thursday went on Sunday for brunch. We got there right at 11am and the parking lot was full already. Once we got in, they quoted a 2hr wait, but we asked if we could sit at the bar and were seated immediately. It was great. I had the green chilaquiles and bottomless margaritas … everything was so tasty. Our bartender was funny and we even met the owner and heard her story about El Patron… 2nd location coming soon in Murrieta… Definitely want to go back and try some of the other menu items.

The food was very good. Our server Mary was fantastic. She made sure we had what we needed. She kept checking on us. She was friendly and smiling and upbeat. I would definitely go back. Borracho Fries are a must try.
