Food was delicious and all the waiters are so friendly. The place is small and it was packed but I still had a good time. Cozy vibes.

The first time I came here the Chile Verde Burrito was really good. It had real chunks of pork, fresh, homemade tasty green salsa and quality ingredients. But now the pork/green sauce tastes like it came out of can. I’m really disappointed and unsatisfied. I was referred to this place from my co-workers here at the warehouse down the street from El Matador. I think we are going to take a break from this place for awhile.

Small but everything is delicious. Lots of options in beers. When ordering the Michelada, you pick from their icy cold selection. Delicious

Boy, what an awesome Mexican restaurant! The chili relleno was excellent, the service was great, if you are near Irwindale over by SCE main office, go there and check it out yourself. Nice people, authentic Mexican, highly recommended!

Had lunch a few days ago with a co-worker. It’s been a few years since I’ve eaten here but recall very much enjoying the food. Although I recall the food being a little better before, it did not disappoint. It just might have been what I ordered. I ordered the burrito a la Diabla and my co-worker the al pastor wet burrito. My friend really enjoyed his burrito, but mine was just ok. I really expected it the be spicier and there wasn’t a lot of meat. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the food, but I do intend to go back soon as Mexican is one of my faves and they have a really good salsa bar and free chips.

We absolutely LOVED this place. Cute little whole in the wall authentic Mexican food. Not your average place. Absolutely delicious. Everything we are was exceptional. The wait staff were very welcoming and friendly. Small interior but it made it very cozy feeling. We ordered carne asada burrito, sangria, cheese enchilada and pork tamale. Loved every bite! Very filling. Priced well. 5 stars. We’re going back here for sure.
