This spot had been on my radar for a while. I finally tried it this June (2023) and it did not disappoint. As a huge fan of California Mexican food this spot checked all the boxes. Good rice, beans and al pastor (marinated grilled pork). One dinner plate of al pastor with rice and beans (tortillas included) cost about $14 at the time of this post. Pro tip: try their different salsas and aguas frescas (ie: horchata)

Our experience was great! We had beef super tacos, Al Pastor super tacos and enchiladas and nothing disappointed. Sides tasted amazing.

Hmm, too bad my experience was a bit disappointing. The carnitas tacos were bland but the carne tacos were salty. Free chips were stale. Salsas were average. At least the unconventional chicken quesadilla was hot and tasty. It was more like a burrito? A bit cramped inside but enough tables. Street parking and no restroom that I saw. Prices were average for the area.

Unassuming Mexican spot. Ordered 4 tacos, they were all delicious. 2 chicken and 2 carne asada. I loved that the meat was chopped up small with no gristle. Flavorful and juicy! The staff were all very kind. There is limited seating and it’s all quite close together.

Food was really good. I got a lengua burrito here and the lengua was tender, flavorful, and juicy. The overall burrito was great with the blend of flavors. The price is also nice since its 7.25 for a super burrito pre-tax and they give you chips. The salsa and the pico degio is self serve. They are also quick.

Our go-to place for authentic tacos. It’s a hole-in-the-wall sort of place but who cares when the food is delicious! They have a small salsa station, which is nice. Prices are cheap for great tacos. Easy to find street parking. We always leave happy from this place!

I came here with the recommendation of my colleagues. They said this is where you go for breakfast. And I can say they were right. They don’t cheap out on the amount of food they give you. Fresh eggs and chorizo…and a ton of it. Tasty and at a great deal. Definitely recommended for breakfast.
