They have indoor seating and outdoor seating too, but today it is raining and so I decided to eat inside. The people working here are very friendly and professional and someone is always keeping the place clean. They have food to go and they do catering too. They have a large selection of soft drinks, but today I chose to just drink water. They play the authentic Mexican music and it has a good beat to it. I highly recommend others to eat here.

We also ordered guac, salsa, and chips. We were not thrilled with the guac. It's pretty boring and is thin and has a lot of onions-they're sautéed I think not diced raw. It wasn't very busy so we didn't have to wait long, I noticed they updated the booths.

I want to cry out Texas larp, but I'm just being a funny little guy. My friend wanted to try the Parachute taco as it's a Hayley Williams collaboration item. It's neat because $1 from each taco benefits the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, so I'm glad that our super late night dinner had some overall meaning to it. Since they also serve breakfast dishes here, I'm feeling like it's more of a brunch place as this location closes at 9 PM. Not for the late night alchies people. We ordered online and everything was ready super fast for us. Just a note, that Parachute taco was on the mobile order, but strangely not on the menu on the website. They also ask you several times regarding salsa so make sure you get extra for free (red and green salsa in small sauce containers). Not super spicy in the slightest, but adds another layer of fresh acidic taste. I'm used to red sauce being searingly spicy, but not the case here. This location can be a bit easy to miss since it's on a main street and the turn in can get a bit tight. But you can always get street parking. No issues since we went right before they closed, but it looks like it can get really packed and tight around breakfast/brunch time. It's a very chill and relax ambience. Welcoming and warm. The outdoor area is very well lit and nice in the evening. Loved the lemon tree and I think the olive tree that they had there too. It's vibes as they say. PRO-TIP: Get the corn tortillas. You can taste the delicious corn flavor of the dough. For our dinner, we got the: 1) The Parachute by Hayley Williams: -The reason why we visited and surprisingly the best of the three. A huge surprise since it was the only one we ordered without meat. -This taco comes with mushrooms, black beans, lettuce, tortilla strips, Monterey jack cheese, and tomatillo ranch. -Creaminess from the cheese, slight chew from the mushrooms with a roasted taste, love the crunch from the tortilla strips, and everything came together really nicely. 2) Vaquero: -This comes with brisket, pickled jalapenos, onions, cilantro and lime. This was the one my friend and I both were eyeing as an additional taco. -It was sadly the most disappointing of the three. You'd think with all those toppings inside, it'd be more flavorful. Sadly not. -The brisket was dry and both of us used the most of the salsa on this taco in particular. I'd skip this one. 3) Forth Worth by Leon Bridges: -As a mild neurotic person, I don't listen to music that much, so I have no idea who this is, but I chose this taco since it had chicken and it's a different protein from the rest of the tacos. -This was the most stacked of the bunch, filled to the brim with ingredients and by virtue of that, the most messiest. Have lots of napkins on hand. -This comes with slightly spicy chicken (moist and yummy), bacon, pickled jalapenos, pico de gallo, lettuce, and tomatillo ranch. -I actually liked the bacon in this taco, slight crispiness with some of the rich fatty bits of bacon thrown in too. It's not just lazy bacon bits tossed in. Overall not bad! The tacos weren't the most visually appealing and a bit messy, so FYI. Overall not bad and it goes to a good cause. It's not the most authentic best tacos out there (for that I'd just go to a street stall, but it's great for the more unique combinations).

I must say I lamented the close of the "neighborhood" Mijares that had been at this location for…read more20+ years, and because of that I was slow in even trying the restaurant that replaced it (El Matador). Because I had a desire for mexican food and did not want to drive all the way over to the remaining Mijares thought I'd try something closer and this was my pick. Not being familiar with the El Matador menu decided on the El Matador platter. It was a choice that let me try many things all at once. LOVED IT ! Loved everything about the platter (including the price). This is now my new "go to" restaurant for good mexican food. The only negative would be the amount of salsa included with the platter. I can never get enough salsa for my meals. Check them out, I think you will find them to be a wonderful replacement.

It is often very busy with regular customers as well as people visiting Pasadena and discovering this cherished establishment. When you first walk in the front door, you are greeted by a staff member eager to help you make your choices among their incredible food. After showing us specials, we were given the extensive printed menu. We asked a number of questions about some of the more popular items. We were given information as to how each item was made and flavored. While we were talking, we could hear the kitchen putting together food items for pickup and delivery. After some discussion we decided to order some food to eat while waiting for our take-home order. It was happy hour so we ordered a Pacifico beer and some taquitos with chips and salsa. We chose a table in an adjacent table-filled room. This room had a great ambiance. The chips and salsa and the taquitos were great. I enjoyed the fresh, warm chips that had great flavor. It was a quiet time of day right before the evening rush, so there were only a few tables occupied. The super burrito and chimichang were filled with flavor and more than one meal. They tasted great and each item was packed with precision and care. The nachos were incredible. Warm, filled with flavor and packed with toppings and cheese. Small intimate outside seating with umbrellas. Parking is difficult but there is a nearby parking structure.

We decided to end with some churros which were also excellent. They are filled with caramel which we didn't expect. Finally service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. We will definitely come back again.

We picked our table and were on our way. I Love the fact that they started doing Margarita pitchers! So guess where we started! Always have to get the special Salsa with our hot Chips, no Pico de Gallo. These 4 Salsas cover the full spectrum.....a flavorful yet mild Salsa Verde, a Earthy Arbio, a spicy Habanero Aioli and a killerHOT Habanero Salsa round out this great offering., They have a great Birria de Chivo plate and that's what I went for.....plus Rice and a Salad. Tasty chunks of goat simmered in a super flavorful sauce just really satisfies the palate. The Rice is always hot, fluffy, and is one of the best Mexican Rices around.....lots of flavor. I like to use the Habanero Aioli as the dressing on my Salad. It really compliments the chilled, crispy lettuce and the tang of the Cheese. My Mom got a shredded Chicken Taco with Rice and Beans, and she was extremely satisfied. My fiancé got 1 Chicken Enchilada with Red Sauce and another with Green Sauce. She really Loved the combo. Aleen is a great server. A great smile, very attentive and a warm personality. Her service is top notch.
