Saw a guy eating a sopapilla outside said it was good and there were several people outside waiting so we were like ok it's gonna be good. Ordered the Sopapilia covered in red sauce because it was a popular choice. Sadly, I was disappointed. I think it would have been good by itself no sauce. Just a sopapilla by itself. In sauce was too much. The red sauce did not taste homemade. If it is I'm sorry but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The kids drummettes were fried and tasty. Other than that it was just another diner. We did meet others who said they frequent but knowing true Mexican food, it's a no go for me. Service was ok. Ambiance Diner feel. We met a guy who said there was a cafe town the road that he preferred I don't remember the name but at least I know I'm not the only one who did not enjoy it. He was also from Cali so there you go. Sorry to disappoint. Good luck finding good eats. SYOY

I asked the waitress about the salsa and she brought another small plastic cup of the same thing, but there were a couple of chile seeds in it.

Pleasant environment, I especially loved the decor on the walls. The food was delicious, I had a chorizo breakfast burrito stuffed with has browns and scrambled with eggs.

The other plate was the huevos rancheros with red sauce that was amazingly delicious, the kind of sauce you can eat Camarones (shrimp) à la Diabla, and the spice was just right! Coffee was delicious, not too strong or watered down, just right! I would come back to this place if I wasn't just passing thru.

It's just a big dining room put some plane tables and chairs and a two pieces of inexpensive art on the walls. But the server here was a delight, and the menu had several good choices.

My son got the combination platter and everything was deeeeeelicious except the rice. Neither one of us cared for the rice, and we both thought the salsa was just okay.

It opens at 7 am weekdays, 8 am weekends and close by 2 pm each day (as of November 2023). Good place to come for dinner food at 7 am in addition to breakfast food for night shift workers. No adult beverages however. Food is good and quite heavy. Hefty portions as well so come hungry. Extra charge if you want Christmas combination instead of either red or green chili.
