We really enjoyed the food. Fresh made little bit of wait but time for conversation. They need more help but our server did a great job.

The food was good and the service was fantastic. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals so much we came back again during our time in California. Our server, JR, took great care of us. The food was so appetizing I forgot to take pictures of our meals, lol. The desserts I had were churros and the bunuelo. Both delicious

Love it here. Have been coming in for the last 14+ years & always leave satisfied. Always get the beef taco(s) rice & beans. Tacos are crunchy perfection without being greasy, the rice is fluffy/flavorful & the beans are creamy cheesy goodness. The chips & salsa are a must – ask for a spoon! The staff is friendly & attentive. Beer & margs, atmosphere, good portioned tasty food A local gem & worth the drive for non-locals, too.

Food is good, liked the chimichangas. The staff was not the most friendly and kinda slow.

Stopped by to have dinner. Had a margarita and ordered the crab enchiladas. The enchiladas sounded excellent. They came with a surprise, a paper liner that I assumed was in the can of crab. It was about the size of a can of tuna or a bit smaller. The entire piece of paper ended up in a single bite of the enchilada. Pulled it out of my mouth and stopped eating what was remaining. About 75 percent of my meal. Brought it to the waitress attention and she took it back to the kitchen. She was great wish I could say as much for the head of kitchen. Would have helped to of had someone from the kitchen come out and own the mistake. While that didn’t charge me for the meal they did for the margarita. Very unprofessional.

Omg. Haven’t been back for 2 years. It was summertime. 98 degrees. We sat outside. I ordered a chicken salad with ranch and also put salsa on it. I noticed salsa was super warm. I continued with my meal. Woke up had herendes cramps. Watery mouth. Stomach so sick. Chills. Threw up amongst other things every few minutes for 5 hrs. Straight. I was so deathly sick. Not sure bad chicken or bad salsa. For months I couldn’t even say or hear or look at a chicken. Omg the worst ever. Haven’t been back since. I posted food poisoning. This is how I got started on reviews. I also complained. But would I want them to cook a piece of chicken for me? I say “I don’t think so”. I was soooo sick. Ugh

I ordered a Carne asada burrito, rice, and beans. The burrito was filled (if you can call it that) with guacamole and only a couple of small pieces of beef and nothing more. It laid flat more like a guacamole quesadilla. I had to re-roll it so it could actually be eaten like a burrito and it was maybe 1.5 inches in diameter, mostly just tortilla and guacamole. Small portions of rice and beans. Wasn’t all that great. Not trying to be TOO mean but I feel like I could’ve done better with taco bell. I didn’t hate it but i will not be back.
