We came on Taco…read moreTuesday for the $2.50 street tacos (asada and pastor), and since they also have seafood, we tried the fish and shrimp tacos too. Everything had flavor, but nothing stood out. The food tasted fine, just not memorable enough to make this my go-to for a taco fix. The double tortillas were also too greasy for my liking. Between here and Taco Nazo, I'd pick Taco Nazo for the fish and asada tacos, mostly for the flavor and the salsa. It was busy, which could be the Taco Tuesday prices, or maybe this place is good and I'm being harsh. I just didn't taste anything that would bring me back.

This wasn't on the menu, but I'm a fan of grilled cactus, so I asked. And they delivered! Both my colleagues (one from India and one from Kazakhstan) and I loved the cactus! It should be on the menu! Entrees: - Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas ($24). Two generously filled Enchiladas with fresh Avocado slices on top, served with rice, refried beans, green salsa, and sour cream. Perfect! - Mole Enchiladas ($21). My colleague is from India and had never heard of Mole. I explained how Mole is made, so he ordered the dish. Warning: Keep your hands away from his dish--because scarfed down that meal! He LOVED IT! - Cabrera's Molcajete ($39). My colleague from Kazakhstan loved the grilled steak & chicken, with veggies and chorizo. He said it's one of the best meals he's ever eaten! Drinks: - Cabrera's Margarita ($13). A large Margarita made with Herradura Tequila. Perfect. Service: Our Server and the Owner are friendly and when I spoke a little Spanish, they really made us feel at home. Ambiance: A nice comfortable place, with some TVs for sports (we watched Game 5 of the 2026 World Series there). Added plus: A Birthday was there, so they did the traditional Mexican Birthday celebration. Overall: I will definitely return. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I had the Jamaica agua fresca, which was refreshing and good. We also got complimentary chips and salsa, and the chips were freshly made and delicious! Definitely one of my favorite parts of the meal. The food was good overall and nicely presented. Some of the dishes were a little on the salty side for my taste, but the flavors were still enjoyable. The only downside was that it was a bit hot inside, although there were quite a lot of people, so I'm sure that contributed to it. Overall, a solid Mexican spot with friendly service, fresh chips, and good food. I'd come back to try more from their menu!

The people at the register were very nice and patient. They told me how big the burritos were and what comes with them. It just meat and tortillas. You can add beans and stuff for a little more. I got the Brea burrito. So I Oder two. They said everything made in shop. It felt home made. It wasn't over sauce.. it had a lot of meat. It's great lunch or small dinner.

Personally it wasn't for me but I can see why other people will like it :) 7.5/10 2 frijoles y queso - if you're trying to fiber maxx this is a good one. Refried beans were cooked very good and tortilla was nice and fresh! The salsa on it was a good addition 8.8/10 chicken tinga - this I enjoyed.

The tortilla was pillowy soft and tasted handmade and not like the usual tacos that we get the Customer Service was really very friendly and they brought the food out to me.

As for the fish burrito, the fish is breaded and comes with carrots, rice, and guac. Maybe I'll come back to try a different burrito. Service was not bad.

I liked that they use refried beans inside, and the overall flavor was good. My only issue was the meat to rice and beans ratio. There was definitely a lot more rice than carne asada, and I would've liked a little more meat in there. Overall, the burrito was good and the portion was a decent size, but I think it would've been much better with more carne asada. I noticed their wet burrito seems pretty popular, so that's probably what I'll try next time.

My husband and I both love crunchy shredded beef tacos, so of course we both ordered them! My husband chose the grilled vegetables instead of the rice and beans, which was a nice option. We also ordered the guacamole--YUM! And the chips were warm and fresh! Their Jamaica was absolutely delicious too! Next time I'm craving a Jamaica or Horchata, I already know where I'm going. We can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes. Great food, wonderful service, and such a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!
