Nice American/Mexican? Restaurant. Ingredients are above average quality. Tacos are actually 4.5 stars. A little bit if this review is biased, since I am of Mexican heritage and have traveled throughout Mexico and lived in Los Angeles for 34 years. NOT authentic Mexican, expensive (maybe it is not intended to be Mexican). My 2 kids just wanted tacos but the waitress could not find them a la carte on the menu but said they were on the computer. So we wanted 9 tacos total and 3 waters ended with rice and beans and little mountains of shredded lettuce and one carne asada steak instead of tacos, my kid was hungry and just took the thin steak. So 2 $13 taco plates and a $20 steak for a 3 year old...

The restaurant is located in an older building, but it is clean and charming. They provide regular menus, but I observed them sanitizing each one after every use. The staff members were friendly and the food was delicious. They also offer some excellent vegetarian options, such as the veggie nachos. I particularly enjoyed their fresh chips and salsa. The prices were reasonable and our food arrived promptly. We visited around 8pm on a weekday and did not have to wait to be seated. Indoor dining was available, but there was also outdoor seating options.

although the service was not so good. the food came in and saved the day! the coke machine broke to add it. it's a pretty small place, but, quite quickly filled. the server left and right. I think, above all, because the others work there, not as fast as they went. but wait after a long 40 to 50min. I said eating to me is the only thing she could save. that happened! I didn't just go there yesterday, but also. the day after. the food slapps. If you want to take a girl, we have a chat. I'd say that's the place!

Eh, I should have known this wasn’t all that great when we walked in. It was only 2 other people inside and one person was just drinking. Our waitress was nice but that’s the only thing I can say which was nice. There were flies inside the place which I had to keep swatting away, my chicken tacos I ordered were extremely chewy. I couldn’t eat them all cause I was afraid the chicken wasn’t cooked all the way through. Sadly, I won’t be coming back here. Book a table now

Food was good but cuz they charged us $2 per ounce of hot sauce and we didn't know till we saw the bill. Service was pleasant enough but we pretty much got rushed out when we slowed down eating it was well before closing and no one else was even there. Plus we took a barbacoa burrito with steak on the side 20) to go but got home to find there was no steak on the side just barbacoa :

I had a wonderful lunch experience at this restaurant. The steak I ordered was delicious and cooked perfectly, not at all tough or chewy. The sides that came with it, beef and rice, were also very tasty and well-prepared. The service was exceptional - the staff were attentive and quick to assist with anything we needed, checking in to ensure everything was to our liking.

pretty cozy restaurant, it makes them feel like home. staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu points. the food came quickly and fresh. They definitely recommend this place when they try to have a good lunch or dinner at a quieter place. I just have to say that the toilets were on the little side. follow me on ig: @hernandezsosaarmyrecruiter

Servers are confused. Horrible service. Waitress argued with me over the price of a menu item for 5 minutes. Rude woman who only checked on us twice over an hour. No refills, wrong food. Never going back. Book a table now

This is definitely the best and most authentic Mexican restaurant in town! The meals, queso, chips, salsa, and margaritas were all delicious. The customer service was also excellent!
