So up in Lompoc visiting family.. first time visiting this restaurant. We were greeted immediately and seated.. Staff was friendly and professional and the restaurant very clean. It has a very Mom and Pop feeling inside.. decorated nicely with Adobe walls.

Simply the best Mexican Restaurant I’ve ever tried. Came from Bakersfield and love me some Mexican food and this place lived up to the images. Although pricey. The food was delicious and was fresh! The plates were massive too

This was a really hard decision for me to rate it this low. The food came out hot and fast. Salsa for the chip was delicious, spicy, and smoky. Portion of the food is incredible and I had more than enough for leftovers. So why did I rate only 3 stars? Ultimately, the service was too poor. Server never came to check if we needed more water or anything, took 15 mins just to give us the check after trying to flag her down for even longer than that. Then she left quickly before we could even ask for a box. It took her almost another 15 mins to reappear just for us to ask for a box. Worst part was they had multiple servers and it was dead at night. There was only 2 other people, otherwise I would have understood her absence. But this really ruined the experience for me. If you were to get food here, I recommend just getting it to go.

Beef and chicken Tacos and in front the Pozole, the food was very tasty, our order was ready in less than 10 minutes, I will return to this place! The flavor of the pozole was exquisite!

We were seated by a very belligerent, noisy child. Otherwise, the atmosphere would’ve been great. The food, however, was very good! Will definitely return!

When I want good Mexican food, this is the place my family chooses. I have been to many Mexican restaurants, and nothing is as good as here. I have not had any negative experiences whenever I have been here. Also, great customer service.

No customer service for the long black hair inthe middle of the big expensive tostada i realyliked and wanted and ,not to mention paid like 15$ for. Then could not eat any more concerned about cleaning quality and control. I said that I’m not trying to cause any problems.but i feel I should let you know about the hair.

We went to eat Sunday evening. We got there at 6 pm. It was not busy at all. We ordered our food and it came out no more than 5 minutes later. The food looked tasted and felt like it was just microwaved. It was so incredibly greasy. The rice was so salty and cold and tasted stale. All of our meals came with salad that never came. Our total was over $150. When we told the staff the salads never came they didn’t even offer to compensate for their mistake. Really it felt unsanitary and we will not be back. The food was not good and not authentic. Also it took about 45 minutes to finally get out bill. We were there for 2 hours. Very frustrating
