So GOOD! Definitely get something from their specials rather than something standard. I got the special Oaxacan tamales wrapped in banana in leaves with mole chicken inside. So delicious!

This is by far one of the best Mexican Restaurants I have tried in the 805 (From San Miguel to Oxnard). The restaurant is a little old fashion but the food is incredible. We tried a little bit of everything (enchiladas, carne asada, tamales, rice, beans, jamaica water and flan). Everything taster great was we were pleasantly surprised that the cleanliness and attention from the staff. We are visiting Carpinteria for a short getaway and will definitely come back again just to eat here again.

The food is easily the best Mexican food in Carpinteria. I’ve lived here my whole life and this is such a great place to get reasonably priced and authentic Mexican food, especially from the Oaxaca region. It is family owned. I know the restaurant usually doesn’t look very busy but don’t be fooled.. the food is great. I recommend trying the Monte Alban dish with seafood. It’s delicious and you can’t get it anywhere else. The wife of the family also makes a great flan. Other recommendations: Chile relleno enchiladas, pollo estofado with mole, wet burrito with red sauce, and their pico de Gallo is the best.

Lovely family-owned business with delicious food and two patios. I make sure to eat here any time I’m in town! Totally love anything they do with fish and shrimp.

Well for $16.95 Mole Chicken, it should at the very least be hot thoroughly. Chicken was warm outside and COLD inside. Sauce so-so. Chili Releno slightly above room temperature ware. Now that I’m reading their reviews, I’m seeing a lot of comments with similar experience as our’s. Seems like one of those hit and miss places. Bummed.

Food was cold and service was just OK, slow and not very personable. Bathrooms locked and ended up having to walk to public restrooms. Definitely not on list to return. They got us as 1st time visitors but never again.
