It's a simple little place in a small strip mall in Pedro. The place is clean and there is a few parking spots outside, but it's a lil treacherous in that parking lot. The staff is always nice and helpful. And they do deliver locally, which is awesome. I'll keep that in mind for next time I'm sick and need that soup! We got a large order the other day and had burritos and tacos and tacos plates, and been and cheese, and one of their specialty plates. Everyone loved their food. No frills but consistent. Love this place!

Decent food. Okay prices. Highly attentive server…read more The host staff seemed a little confused. Took us 10 minutes to get seated with plenty of open tables and wait staff. Hostess seemed a little put out to seat a group of four "old people" late 50s to mid 60s. Food was tasty, a tad bit pricey compared to what i was used to $25 for enchiladas de camaron (shrimp). Sever was excellent. Was a little soft spoken for the environment, but didn't seem to mind that we asked her to repeat

Ambiance: Not my kind of artwork, but festive for a Mexican Restaurant…read more Service: Angie or server was nice & friendly, however she didn't keep our tables clean and free from empty plates. Food/Drinks: Guacamole/Salsa and chips to start was not bad (could use more salt). Food was mediocre, chicken tacos came out hot but immediately turned cold. Chicken and cheese tasted old, but the ENCHILADAS DE MOLE were better. PINA CON CHILE margarita was the BEST!! Unfortunately, I won't be back.

The carne asada had great flavor, and having both sauces on top made every bite better. The red sauce brought a nice richness and the green sauce added a little tang and freshness that balanced everything out. Definitely messy in the best way. The Jamaica drink was cold and refreshing and paired perfectly with the food. The spot has that classic casual Mexican food feel where you know you're about to get a solid meal. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a good burrito.

This cozy mom-and-pop spot truly feels like a labor of love, with everything made fresh and full of flavor. The mole is incredible--rich, comforting, and honestly reminds me of the kind my mom used to make. It's one of those dishes that instantly feels nostalgic. And the chile verde? Finger-licking good. Every bite is packed with fresh, vibrant flavor. Beyond the food, what really makes this place special is the people. The owners are some of the sweetest, most genuine folks you'll meet--truly salt-of-the-earth. You can feel the warmth the moment you walk in. This place has quickly become one of our regular spots, and for good reason. If you appreciate real, homemade cooking and kind-hearted service, you'll love it here.

The order was as follows. A chicken tornado in a shell. Included chicken, sour cream, onions, cheese, and I believe beans. For a beverage lemon flavored iced tea. Also ordered a side of guacamole. The other was a bean and cheese wet burrito. With a red sauce. Onions, cilantro, and green chili's included. Very large portions here folks. They don't scimp on the chicken either.

The menu was also difficult to read because many of the prices had faded badly -- they really need to go over the board with a Sharpie so first-time customers can actually see the prices clearly. I ordered the birria plate. The portion of meat was very generous -- probably at least half a pound -- and it came with a few standard tortillas, a small bag of chopped onion, cilantro, plus three lemon wedges. It also included a small side of refried beans with cheese on top, which was unremarkable, and some mushy Mexican rice that could have been much better. The meat itself was definitely the best part of the meal. It also came with a small container of consommé, but it was only lukewarm even though I had driven just 10 minutes away, so the food overall could have been hotter. There was only one hot sauce included, and I didn't care for it at all. I also missed the usual fresh radish slices and the standard red or green salsa options that many birria places provide. The food was packaged nicely, but overall I was expecting better for the price. It came to above $18, which felt overpriced for the quality, especially considering there's no dine-in option. While there was enough meat for two people, I personally would have preferred slightly smaller portions with better overall quality and sides. I've definitely had better birria elsewhere, which is why I'm giving this rating.

So instead, I got the beef ones. A bit pricey but the food was really good. The service was also good. Took about 10-15 mins for my order. Everything was nice and hot. I didn't care for the consome. It had no flavor to it. It tasted more oily than anything. However, I do like the portion size. The tacos were also bigger than what I'm used to.
