    Ceviche boat
    Christanne C.

    Picked this spot because they had convenient free delivery to work. We just paid tip. Note: It would be beneficial if you speak Spanish, but they had someone else, that spoke English, take my order over the phone. -Asada torta. 4/5 -Cali burrito. Tortilla was really hard. Mostly fries. Very fatty asada. Pico de gallo was delicious. After reading what it was supposed to have in it, it was a complete fail. No rice or beans or onions or cilantro. Only had fries, Asada, a tiny amount of sour cream and 1 piece of lettuce. 1/5 -Sausage breakfast quesadilla. Just basic. Too many potatoes. Barely any egg. Barely any cheese. Would not get again. 2/5 -Aguachiles. Very spicy but delicious. Lots of sauce. Too much that it spilled all inside the bag and tons of sauce was still in the container. 5/5 -Ceviche mixed boat. Good mix of seafood. Good amount for price, but not enough lime juice, so not too flavorful. 3.5/5 -Baja fish taco combo. Tacos were small. 3.75/5 -Free chips tasted like they were made in older grease. Nobody ate them. Will we order again? Maybe for the convenience. Will we order different items? Definitely.

    My family and I have been a regular here ever since I was younger. It brings back so much nostalgia and joy for us to be here. Unfortunately, I think they changed management a few years ago. Ever since then it hasn't been the same. Went here today with my family and our waitress definitely wasn't familiar with the breakfast menu. There were combos that didn't actually include things on the menu (ex, the french toast combo doesn't come with hashbrown). We waited around 30-40 mins for our food, and it was just alright. Our combos came with toast too, and when we asked the waitress for it, she said "you have to ask when you want it, we don't just give it". I didn't know we had to ask for the food we paid for? Ever since management changed, we've tried to come back several times because we really enjoyed it before. Unfortunately I think this is the last time we'll be coming here.

    Authentic Mexican food Comfort food They always give plenty of food on your plate with free chips & yummy salsa

    Chile Verde plate

    The staff was nice, but paid far more attention to the tables with single men. That being said, we came about 1500 and there were only three tables with people so we hit the sweet spot time-wise. We shared five tacos then had individual entrees. I'll get into the details below. Tacos: we had the street tacos with cilantro, no onion. The corn tortillas were well prepared, we were able to make two tacos from each one ordered without the tortillas collapsing or tearing; definitely a treat. Al Pastor. I'm not usually a fan of Al Pastor, but here it wasn't overly sweet. My son said it wasn't the best he'd had, so we agreed to disagree. Pollo. The chicken was juicy and subtly flavored; although I prefer the hard chicken tacos at Baja Sonora, these were really good. Carnitas. The meat was juicy and really tasty. Birria. Very juicy and flavorful. Shrimp. Oh yum! The shrimp were of a good size, juicy and wonderfully seasoned. They weren't tiny, nor were they so large that they spilled from the tortilla; just a really good size to star in this taco. I ordered my usual "first time at a new restaurant" order of the chile verde plate. After the chips, salsa, and tacos I had to take most of it home, but only did so because I was taught not to waste food. Although the meat was tender, the sauce completely lacked flavor and the texture was...odd. The refried beans weren't bad, but the rice was completely dried out and crunchy hard. My son ordered the carne asada burrito, wet. He ate about half and shared a bite of the asada which was not seasoned at all. It also had no char so the texture was more braised meat than grilled meat. I was very happy we hadn't ordered a carne asada taco. All that being said, the chips and salsa were really (really) good. The chips were crispy, but not greasy or salty, and the salsa was a blended, not chunky, salsa full of flavor with no seeds or stems (don't ask! Lol) We'll definitely be back, but will only have chips, salsa, and tacos next time.

    This is the piece of plastic I got on my food

    This place is a Hit or Miss!!! I liked going here, but it's a hit or miss! Sometimes it's good and sometimes is bad!! Last 2 times been a miss for me. 1st time ..they fuck up my order then I get a piece of plastic in my food! ‍ Didn't drive back, I ate it but I was grossed out and just keep checking on my food.. 2nd time I ordered the Birria de Res with rice and beans the meat had nothing but fat & the nerve ! It was discussing I didn't even eat it! I wouldn't Recommend this place! I will be staying away!

    Aguachiles, watery & lacks spice
    Annie G.

    I came here because Tacos El Cuervo down the street was randomly closed. Visually: Really nice art. Colorful, vibrant and eye catching! they have tall comfy booths on the perimeter and tables in the center. They have jukebox my daughter and I used. $1 per song. That's pretty cool! There wasn't anyone in here, so I can't really speak of the ambiance or people around. Service: Service was good. Not exceptional. Very sweet woman. Didn't check in on us, so my daughter had to walk up and tell her she wanted ice cream for dessert. Still nice though. Food: Tacos Tuesday- so I ordered a taco de papa, carnitas, and papa. All of them were 3/5. Maybe the taco de papa was a 4/5. It had repollo, diced tomato, lettuce and the papa was nice and salty. So, it was flavorful. The Carnitas was really bland and dry. My daughter's chicken Tacos (she asked for cheese on top) were not grilled. The chicken looked like they just took it out the caldo pot. So it was boiled chicken. Not good. Aguachiles-Okay, I am particular with aguachiles, I eat them often and pay attention to details. The plating was esthetically pleasing because the pepino and onion were so thinly sliced. However, this is part of the reason why I think it lacked in flavor. The lemon juice marinade was really watery and doesn't taste like they put enough spices or chile. It was not spicy, at all. I had to use the limes they give you for the table, salt. Pepper, and asked for their spiciest salsa to add to my Camerones. A good aguachile by my definition would be SPICY, marinate a little more thick consistency (not watery), good slices of pepino that I can scoop a shrimp with, good slices of onion for extra flavor. This was just an underwhelming food experience.

    I'll have to give this location another shot. There were three customers sitting together at a table who received food and drinks. I place my order for the classics burger, no cheese, no onions, no thousand island dressing. Bacon,Pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, mustard and mayo. Burger arrived 15 min later with nothing but pickles and meet I ordered a margarita that was PURE SURGAR not sure what happened but I'll def give another chance. Expect to wait long for beverages and food to come out.

    Portion does not equal price, very little meat.
    Wendy W.

    Price does not equal portion. $16 for huevos con chili verde. Literally had 5 squares of pork. And a charge to use credit card. My bill was $35.28 and they charged a $1.41 "fee" for credit card on top of that! New owners are greedy. The busboy is gone, the servers have to wait tables and clean. I use to love this place, I will NEVER go back!

    My Carne Asada Chilaquiles & Eggs= SOOOO GOOD! hefty servings, had to bring it home.
    Dani S.

    Just wow. I miss my family up in Norther Cali and especially their cooking. My bf and I came across this and their food is so good! And affordable. The best chilaquilles ive had in a while. Ps- portions are large, you'll definitely need a to-go box.

    Well besides them taking over 30 mins to bring us our food my bacon avocado burger was burnt!!

    Of all the times I've been here, it's alway been great. The service was amazing and the experience…read morewas all great. This visit, we stopped by during happy hour. It's normally taco Tuesday or dinner. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Mainly everyone was seated outside which we wanted a table as well. There was one that we were interested in and asked if we could have it which the waitress working was ok with. But it needed clearing up. It took a while for someone to come out and clear and clean the table up. It was fine waiting but it was like did someone forget about us. Anyways. We got seated and then the waiting continued. It could be that they were short staff but it seemed like there was only one person working. It took a while for someone to finally come back and acknowledge us and take our order. After that the chips and salsa were brought out. Once we ordered the drinks it was easier to place everything together. Menu for happy hour is pretty limited. A few drinks and beer on drafts and for food, maybe 6 items on the menu. Went with an order of the street corn which was quite tasty. An order of the mole chicken nachos and the queso dip with barria. Out of the three, the queso dips and the street corn were great. Nachos were good but nothing really major. The flavors of everything were quite tasty. Dishes were 12.00 an item. For happy hour, it was decent and what we had was good. The service was pretty slow at the beginning. Only the front patio and inside seating was available as the back patio wasn't open. We did start to see other staff walking in so maybe there was only one staff during the time.

    Not impressed by anything we ordered, given the competition locally…read more I will drive to Acton, CA (124 miles round trip) for their chicken tortilla soup ... bringing back 3 quarts of it after our meal is done. The soup here lacks the tastebud awakening zip that Don Chato's has. The ono fish taco experience was my fault... I hate fried fish taco, so I had lofty expectations, but due to the fact that I do not prefer corn tortillas, guacamole or raw onions, led to much disappointment since It has all three. Totally my fault. The butternut enchilada was lacking in the expected savoriness... this is being polite. The potato taquito was okay... but I am not a taquito person, so if you are I would seriously encourage you to try it. The star of the table was the Mexican corn. It may not compete with Cornman in Lincoln Heights, but it was decent. I scraped off the onions and toppings on the ono tacos, put the fish on the flour tortillas that another person didn't want, and topped the fish with refried beans, street corn and a but if the chicken tortilla soup broth to make due. When you are driving more than 30 minutes for this experience, I think you would agree that it was less that a proper way to celebrate a birthday. Oh and if there isn't any street parking. It'll cost you about 9 bucks in the lot. I didn't use the restroom, so I cant review its cleanliness. Our waitress was flawless taking orders and delivering food The restaurant itself has a great layout and an outdoor courtyard complete with propane heaters and umbrellas - I loved that... but my favorite part was out front, no not the seating area in the former parking spaces, nope... it was the collapsed woman on the sidewalk, walking her dog with snot running out of her nose because she was huffing some aerosol can of whatever. This truly set the mood upon arrival. Two stars for being close to a lot of other food choices to visit afterward.

    There's so many places that you see constantly and walked by numerous of time and that is that…read more This place is one of them. I've always wondered what it was all about. Seeing people going in and out which I knew it was a restaurant. Last night we started off with drinks at the speakeasy next door. The two places share restrooms and that's how I found out about this place. Let me say it was a vibe. The first thing you notice from the back, the bar area and Photo Booth. And the live DJ keeping the place on its feet. We ended up wanted to check it out as it was a full restaurant and bar. Friday night without a reservation, spoke with hostess which they could accommodate 6 of us in a bit. Still had to close out at the other place before. The restaurant has a cool vibe with the main dining area in front, bar area towards the back side and on the opposite site is where the DJ booth was. Sam was our waitress who took very good care of us. Very sweet, friendly and of course attentive. Made sure that we were well taken cared of and if anything was needed she was there. It's a cool Mexican restaurant with a cool vibe to match. The place did get lively and was pretty full. You had parties up and dancing and enjoying themselves. Anyway, food and drinks. Started off with some spicy margaritas. Wow, they were strong but good. You had to sip versus drink... lol... Bartender was not playing and in a good way. The menu is somewhat limited compared to other restaurants but what was offered all looked amazing. A modern twist to Mexican food but still with the amazing authentic flavors. Instead of a meal we opted for à la carte and shared everything. Also was informed that the dishes are like tapas and great for sharing. Chips and salsa were brought out which both the chips and salsa were excellent. An order or the aguachille which had that nice sour taste with the lime juice perfectly balanced for the shrimp and trimmings. Served with tostada. The shrimp ceviche, another wonderful dish. Nicely marinaded in the lime juice was very flavorful and also served with tostada. An order of the enchiladas, came with three but we split it for 6 of us. The cheese and filling was very good. The molcajete served in a volcanic bowl stuffed with different meat, cactus, cheese all combined to create an amazing dish full of flavors. A must have and lastly the adobado hamachi collar, yellowtail. Very tasty but did have a fishy taste. Yes it's fish but still. Quite tasty and plentiful. Overall food and vibe was great. The place was definitely lively in the evening. We can finally say we've been and tried some amazing dish. It's a place that worth coming back for more. Parking is a little crazy as residential is always packed. There's a lot across the street which they do utilize but it's can be a bit crowded as well.

    Went back to try this place again because the food and drinks were too good. Service was so much…read morebetter this time around, in the evening on a weekend. So glad we tried it again!! Drinks: specialty cocktails are made really well. Food: the chicharron de salmon is still my absolute favorite. Taco plates were good, just don't get the shrimp gobernador.
