Service was a miss -- we never had a dedicated server so they didn't check in as often. For the food, we tried the stacked enchiladas and posole. I ordered my enchiladas with both roja and verde sauces, or Christmas style. Flavors were good but not memorable. The dish itself was on the smaller side for the price. The posole was pretty tasty and had a huge portion! Came with lots of vegetables and bread on the side. Overall, we were satisfied with our meal but don't need to come back.

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.

Portions were mid , the flavors felt bland and overpriced for what you get. The biggest disappointment was how expensive everything was compared to the quality. I don't mind paying more for amazing Mexican food, but this just didn't deliver. There are way better spots for the same price (or less). Service was fine, but overall I left feeling underwhelmed and wouldn't come back.

If you want big portions, legit authentic food, and prices that won't personally offend you--this is your spot. The pork shank? Fall-off-the-bone, no-effort-required kind of delicious. The tacos are (I do wish they had à la carte instead of plates, but honestly their rice and refried beans slap so I'll allow it). The ceviche is basically an entrée disguised as an appetizer, and the chicken arroz soup hits every time. They bring out chips and salsa immediately (as they should), service is quick, and there's plenty of parking--which already puts them ahead of half the restaurants in SoCal.

We were promptly served fresh chips and salsa, and asked for our drink order. We ordered the chicken rice and avocado which is a great option and size, the lomo adobado was a good portion, flavor not overpowering and the beans a bit bland. Their horchata water was flavorful.

Did someone say TACO TUESDAY RECESSION MENU?!…read more This place was a vibe and served some heavy pours in their margi-rita's. We tried the jamaiica, cucumber, and regular ELBC margi-rita and I can guarantee you we felt a nice buzz. For food, we ordered taquitos de papa, half dozen oysters, 6 tacos (carnitas, carne, and pollo), quesadillas, and the el crunchy shrimp tempura roll. Our spread was litty! Prices were reflective on their recession menu which I think was cleverly designed. Service and ambience were great. Catching up with friends on taco Tuesday is always a good time. Shout out to the friendly bartender who effortlessly set us up next door for a last minute reservation. Thank you so kindly, your kindness and service will not be forgotten!

I've never been a fan of black beans but these were tasty. My Tlayuada hit the spot and chase it down with a Penelope. When we arrived we were the only ones there.

He left again, waited another 15 minutes to take our food order. Lol. Ordered my shrimp cocktail along with other entrees. Our waiter was ghosting us every 15 minutes. Overall, the ambiance was busy. It is expected because of the grandprix event. This place needs to up their staffing when events like this is taking place. Food was good but service was dissapointing.

Then at the end we mentioned that it was both of our birthdays and they brought out 2 HUGE cupcakes!! I mean Ive never seen so much frosting in one place! Great view of the water, and they comp part of your parking so parking was just a few bucks when I left. We had a baby with us and they were super considering and a great kids' menu. Would come back here for a happy hour again!
