From the outside I had no idea that there was this much room inside for seating. Don’t be afraid to stop and eat there. Plenty of space and really good Mexican food. The Birria tacos looked delicious but I had the three tacos with rice and beans. I watched a fish dish being taken to a table and wished I had ordered that too. Crispy giant fish on a plate. They also had Mexican Coca-Cola. So much better than what we have here.

Checked out this place for the 1st time. It is one where you order and then sit down. They brought chips and salsa right away. The food came out shortly after. My wife ordered the green chile verde burrito that was pretty good. I ordered the two taco plate with rice & beans. The shredded beef tacos were good, but everything seemed to lack flavor, including the rice and beans. The cheese on the beans or tacos was cold shredded cheese, not melted. I don’t know how this place has such a high score, and the food lacks an extra touch of love and flavor. It was pretty basic to me, and service was just OK. I honestly can’t say it was great.

We ate there and they brought chips and salsa to the table. The salsa was so good we ordered some to go. The tostada was meaty and so heavily topped that I’d consider it to come with a salad. The Birra quesadilla is tender and delicious… my favorite was the carne asada fries… I poured the salsa on top of it… if I’m in the area I’ll be back.

Pretty decent. The Carne asada was a tad overcooked. But still tasty. Beans and rice good. Very healthy portions. (Picture shows double meat serving i paid extra for.)

Was craving some street Mexican tacos, but not from a taco truck. This place has the best street tacos in Lawndale! Their tacos are by far the best in town and they put a lot of meat in them. 3 tacos is enough to fill you up. So worth the price. Carne asada tacos were tender and had no fat in them. The staff is also very funny (if you speak to them in Spanish)

Haven’t eaten in the restaurant, so can’t speak to the atmosphere. I have been picking up burritos at least once a week to eat at home and they are delicious and affordable and ready when they say they will be. Definitely worth a visit!

Great little place to dine. The food is amazing and the portions are very generous. The gentlemen who took our order was very polite and answered our questions. He also made great suggestions to try and they were very delicious.
