This restaurant is a great example of Mexican cuisine expressing itself through the Californian culture. As a Hispanic, I really enjoyed my experience here. I was quite fond of the ceviche and the chicken mole enchiladas. The salsa bar was great as well. The varied selection made my chips and salsa enjoyable.

Delicious food and great service. I got an amazing salad, and the Taquitos my mom got were some of the best I have had. Everything was fresh and prepared with care. Drinks were reasonably priced for a place like this. Outdoor patio is great, place looked very clean as well. Highly recommend.
