    Definitely one of the highlights of our visit! The staff here is competent and hospitable, and service was top notch. Portions are generous and all four of us stuffed ourselves and still had leftovers. ASHA made our day and went out of her way to make sure each one of us was happy. They treated us so well we felt like we were visiting old friends - would definitely come back!

    Okay... picture two California girls crawling across the USA like it's a desert... clutching their throats as they stagger and lurch searching in vain for a real Mexican food mirage. Not a pretty sight, I assure you! Then... feeling that life has lost all meaning, they get a flyer in the mail. Hope wells again in their breasts - maybe THIS will be the place - The Bright Light Diner... opens at 6am on weekdays (7am on weekends), and purports to serve breakfast ALL day 'til 9pm... AND Mexican food!!! Should they eat on the patio or inside? They fall into an interior booth and ask for the Mexican menu. Angels gather in the firmament... they hear trumpets sounding... could this really be true!?! A resounding YES fills the air... the food arrives... it's wonderful, their souls are replenished... so are their stomachs! For about $20 per person you are more than sated with Burritos, Tortas, Tacos, Enchiladas... and more! You can also get full breakfasts any time of the day... sheer heaven... angel approved! We later had the breakfast menu... sigh, it was amazing, too!

    We found Bright Light Diner by accident, and I'm happy we did. The food is extraordinary! I had a birria omelette and my wife had the omelette. They were both delicious but the birria was in its own category of amazing!! The service was great by answering our questions and making sure our coffee was filled. The restaurant had great music adding to a great vibe and dining experience. We will be back!

    I feel like this is a hidden gold mine for good Mexican food!! The dinner has a wide selection of breakfast and burgers. But the real thing is the Mexican menu they have!!!! You need to stop here for their Mexican food. It's amazing! The service is awesome and so amazing. Inside the diner is very clean and welcoming. Make sure you stop by and get some awesome food!!!

    The atmosphere here is great, amazing service, huge menu and really good food. The inside of the restaurant is super cozy and they don't make you feel rushed at all, you can sit down and take your time. Overall had such a great experience.

    The food was absolutely delicious! My husband got the Birria Breakfast Burrito with a side of corned beef hash. I got The Big Bulb breakfast sandwich and a chocolate chip pancake! The Birria Breakfast Burrito was AMAZING. Definitely get a side of the Mexican salsa to go with it. the corned beef hash was cooked perfect and had great flavor! The Big Bulb breakfast sandwich was bacon, sausage, hash brown patty, and American cheese on a hard roll. The cheese was melted and the has brown patty was crispy! The inside was nice and clean, and smelled good! Our waitress, Rosie, was the sweetest! She was very attentive, had a great recommendation for the Mexican salsa, and the service was just all around 10/10. We will definitely be going back to try lunch!

    Had a great breakfast!! It was 2 corn tortillas fried one with red salsa one with green. They had an egg on top of each with avocado onion and cheese. You could tell the salsa was homemade it was very flavorful with a little spice. Eggs were cooked perfectly and all the flavors melded together perfectly. Also came with home fries and they were great too. Service was friendly and fast. I will definitely be back!!

    Good tacos, good prices, small shop…read more Came here on a whim. Missus liked the tacos here and wanted me to try. So we made the trek to give them a shot. Inside is all business. Sparse decoration and the kitchen takes up a majority of the tiny space. There are tables, but it's very much a To-go place. We ordered some tamales, some tacos and some chips. Went to the salsa bar and got a bunch of sauces to try. Drove to a parking lot to take pics and dig in. The tacos were a little overcooked and under seasoned. They tasted good and were dressed simply. They all needed salsa to really shine. The chorizo was the best bite. Just enough spice and seasoning to stand well on its own. The weakest being the ground beef, which was dry and not seasoned beef. The tamale was good, cooked in a banana leaf, good masa and the mole filling was hot and sweet which chicken used as the protein. A well balanced bite. The chips and salsa were basic but plentiful. Price was reasonable given the quality. It's not a date night Mexican place. It's a place for regular folk to get decent Mexican fare at decent prices, good portions, and basic but executed well tacos. It's great for those who are around the area, but not a space I would try to hunt down

    What a find!! This quaint taqueria is serving up huge authentic flavors. With a couple booths to…read moreeat-in or a counter to pick-up the service is friendly and welcoming. I opted to order a couple tacos to-go and try their chicken and mole tamale on special. Wow!! The proteins were cooked perfectly with flavor - so all the taco needed was cilantro and onion - like they are supposed to be done. The tamale was probably the best I have ever had. Using a black mole inside the tamale the chicken was moist and tender. My favorite value was the salsa bar - at no additional cost you can choose from about 6 different salsas, from a variety of spicy levels and flavors. Also included is Jalepano, radishes and some other small things. A great idea that adds true value to the customer. Overall this is a taqueria that I will drive to!!! When I am in the mood for tacos I am here. I should also mention they do have a full Mexican menu with entrees and such. So many items to try to keep you coming back.
