Very good sit down Mexican food. I gave the fish tacos a chance and was blown away how good they were. Service was on the slower side on a empty evening, but not a big deal. Went with a group and the birra tacos and guac for the chips was also well received.

This spot won the fan favorite award on the Concord Taco trail and it definitely lived up to it. The food was exceptionally tasty and the restaurant staff were friendly and atmosphere was nice. My husband got the mole con pollo which was delicious, and I got asada enchiladas which were some of the best tasting I’ve had. Definitely check it out!

Really delicious food! We ordered the enchilada plate…1asada, 1 shrimp, 1pastor. All were very tasty. My shrimp taco was good too… fresh shrimp. Jesus gave us great service as well. Sitting on the patio was enjoyable. This was our first time here… we’ll definitely be back!

Ordered delivery from here and had never been there until today. Deanna greeted us and was the best. The happy hour menu has great options. This food is the real deal. Lots of meat and flavor. Everyone should stop by and say hi to Deanna and fill up on amazing food.

We like this restaurant and hope that our most recent experience was an anomaly. There were three problems: First, the mole chicken was overcooked and leathery we’ve never had that experience with the mole chicken before. Second, the regular burrito that we ordered was missing sour cream and cheese, so it was just basically carnitas and rice wrapped in a tortilla. Third, part way through our meal someone turn the music up really loud to the point where we couldn’t hear one another speak.

The ambiance is decent, 80s Mexican music playing, beans and chips delivered instantly and order taken in reasonable time. The quesadilla and burrito were really good. Will be returning to try the tacos ! California burrito will alway be special to me

Very welcoming and friendly customer service here. Everything that we ordered was delicious and full of flavor. Portions were bigger then we thought too so we had left overs. Their horchata was sweet and creamy. Can’t wait to return!

Great food. Cute outdoor dining area. Super friendly service. Every single bite of the Desayuno Chapin made me smile and say “mmmmmm!” I will absolutely dine here again. Very excited about the left over platano and home made tortilla I’m taking home as a left over snack;) Plenty of seating available at 430 on a Sunday.
