Portions are worth your every penny. Everything was well seasoned. They didn’t offer aguas frescas and their non alcoholic refreshments were limited however their food is great! My kids who are picky eaters devoured the quesadillas. My favorite was the Torta. Plenty of parking available in the back and also allows for good flow of entry and exit from the premises. Restroom facilities are shared with the Thai restaurant next door but very well maintained. Will def come here again!

I Wish I would have taken pics OF THE DELICIOUS FOOD but I didn’t. I was starving because I didn’t eat anything but a pretzel at Legoland ‍♀️ I just can’t with amusement park food My family and I tried this place and let me tell you that the food was delicious, authentic and the best corn tortillas I’ve ever had ♥️ Tomas, the owner was so nice he gave me a parting gift because I kept raving about the tortillas thank you so much for having yummy food. Can’t wait to eat here again ♥️

Homemade tortillas, mole, salsas, rice, beans, everything ! What an amazing meal! Everything is homemade and made from scratch. The ingredients are so fresh, the owner is so kind! We were very impressed! The Mexican good here is very authentic and comes fro the state of Oaxaquena. This place should be on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives without a doubt!

Delicious food! I was there for dinner on a Wednesday and the service was fast. Staff was very friendly. We ordered memelitas, enchiladas de mole, tasajo con Chile y Hongos and horchata con tuna. Everything was amazing. I have been to the Escondido location and both were great. I have been to Oaxaca and had this food there and it is very similar. I will be back

This is a real good place to consider if you “ever” pass by. CLEAN, Friendly and fast. Fresh real ingredients. From the chips and salsa to the main course. “Perfect traditional margarita”. I recommend this place strongly.

Came in not expecting much, but to my suprise omg. I had such a nostalgic experience reminded me of my Nana’s cooking. She’s been gone a long time, definitely would recommend. The menu is in Spanish which I didnt mind since I can speak it, just as a heads up.
