The best authentic Mexican food! I finally went after a friend (who goes 2-3x a week) kept recommending this place and so happy I went. The food is incredibly delicious and very well-priced! This is a family-owned business for over 20 years and I will absolutely be back! The breakfast burrito is probably my favorite and after eating only half I’m very full and have a ton of leftovers:). Major thank you and shout out to the Benitez family!

A lot of the food here is great and I’ve been there 4-5 times already. There’s plenty of parking for this low-key, out-of-the-way place so you’ll have no problems with a visit. The cashier is very friendly and helpful. It not a restaurant but more a cafe and very relaxing. My wife loves the sopa de res and has had it a few times. My son had the California burrito tonight and I’ve had it before as well; it doesn’t disappoint. I tried the tacos and think this is where they miss the mark. But the food is good. I also like their tortas.

We’ve been here a few times and I can’t believe I haven’t written a review yet. We’ve really enjoyed everything we’ve had. The first things that brought me here was seeing a variety of tortas and also a California burrito.

Some of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. Tacos are loaded up with very fresh toppings. I got the carnitas and asada + birria tacos and they did not disappoint. The asada taco was very well seasoned. More impressive was the carnitas taco which was very tender; you can taste the juices embracing every surface of the pork as it latches on the same way on your taste buds.

I’ve been here a few times… Out of all the “Mexican” places around here, this one gets closest to the mark. The SO and I have ordered tamales, tacos, and tortas here, and it’s always reminded us of home. The green salsa is so good and packs a light punch. If you don’t entertain the idea of some flavorful salsa on your food, then you should go somewhere else because ranch isn’t on the menu.

Great taste and decent price. The ambiance is lacking. Customer service can be improved. If you want to authenticate home cooked Mexican food this is the place. Would not recommend for dine in.

Front staffer was rude. Answered the phone asking if I could make it quick. They rushed me to pick up before closing. The food gave us a bug. The meat wasn’t fresh and neither were the salsas. I recommend tacos la costalilla down route 1, a lot more than this restaurant. I can tell it was a great restaurant in its day, but all the hype isn’t worth it. It’s a shame that this restaurant also leaves food out overnight. It seems unsanitary.
