    Quesadilla de Asada

    Was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! Has been years since I've been here but my wife was craving some quesa tacos And we decided to try them here. My wife said the only thing wrong was that they were over stuffed! Very flavorful could have been crunchier but so very good!! She was so much into them she forgot about the consume the dipping sauce. I had myself a simple quesadilla with carne asada came with chips and beans and believe me did not disappoint at all. Overall great food could see the Menudo being made and everyone kept coming in to order a bowl of Menudo just seemed like a bit too much for me at the moment.

    Menudo, homemade corn tortillas with horchata.

    Awesome and delicious definitely recommend and price is $19 with horchata. Overall simple dive location but totally worth it

    Worth every bite! Definitely taste like home made food! Was blown away. Clean, didn't use restroom. Not sure if one was available. Give this local restaurant a chance!

    Food was tasty, must try the chilaquiles. Freshly made to order. Small humble location, kids high chairs available, restroom was clean,and parking space in the back and front of restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating available, staff were super friendly, will return soon.

    We came for my husband's childhood memories here to get the Torta. I also got the chile Riano. It was huge & home made .... Came with homemade corn tortillas. My food was hot & steaming. The torta was ok, wasn't really hot & they could have put more beans & avocado on it . We will definitely be back for homemade chili Riano's..

    Their menu is good but the prices are different from the menu online for example the price online says $12.50 in restaurant is 14 dollar plus CA tax 9.5% comes to $15.33 omg it's good food and taste but it's not high price good sorry

    The decor on the walls I love it

    This restaurant has been my favorite Mexican since moving to the valley I tried many different restaurants and so far the food here has been amazing. My favorite thing is they offer Menudo any day of any day of week and with home made tortillas super yummy .

    $7.50 I also got a burrito but not bad but not good Be aware of what you order Es robo descarado

    Muy miserable la comida no vale lo q cuesta.
    Angeles F.

    Ya tenía casi como dos años q no venia a este lugar a comer hoy q fui con la familia pedí 3 tortas solo aguacate, frijoles, queso y jamón y tres sodas squirt la orden se la repiti 4 veces al muchacho cuando recibí mi orden todo me lo dieron mal las tortas venían con todo menos lechuga las sodas me las Dios sprite y aparte las tiraras bien secas nada de frijol el pedacito de aguacate menos del tamaño peñique del dedo de la mano nada de frijoles ose súper mal todo. Total después me enteré q ya no eran los mismos dueños y los precios altos la comida no vale lo q cuesta. Antes te daban bien surtidas tus tortas y te in precios razonables jamás volveremos ahí

    Does this look like guacamole to you ?!! $6.89 for chips and guacamole ?!

    OMG, the food is so good. They make tortillas fresh, and they are a treat!…read moreThis is a very small shop with tight parking, but I found it worth the effort and will return. Really kind and helpful staff.

    Delicioso!!! Food was delicious and very fresh. I definitely felt like I was at my Tia's house and…read moreshe was cooking for me. I could smell the flavor on the carne asada. I like it charred a little. I could have eaten a tub of their rice. So light, fluffy and flavorful. I'm not a bean person but even the beans were hitting the spot. So much I would order them again. Usually I try the beans once and that's it. I'm pretty sure the tortillas were homemade. I loved that they were thick enough to hold everything but soft enough to eat. Salsa was a little too spicy for my liking. Everything was seasoned well. Everyone was very nice! But I definitely had to use my high school Spanish. Between my Spanglish and her English it was no problem. It's a very small hole in the wall. Cases of beer were stacked against the wall. There were only about 5-6 two top tables. Not good for a crowd but definitely great food. I think there was one unisex bathroom. I didn't go in. Looking at the pictures online I didn't know there was an outdoor patio. Looks nice in the pictures. I'm not sure about a parking lot. We parked on the street on Parthenia which was a little scary because drivers don't care about people getting out of the car.

    I've been going here for years. Their speciality is popular for a reason. The quesobirria tacos are…read morethe best in the valley period! They sear the tortilla perfectly. It's not soggy and it holds its shape. The birria consomé itself is something I come back for by itself. You can definitely taste the cloves. I reccomend asking for more lime. They've definitely improved a lot service wise! More than a year ago it took my and my friends more than 20-30 minutes to get our food. It was really off putting but the birria was enough to come back and I live really close. Last couple times I've gone this year and late last year they have improved to less than 15 minutes depending on the size of the order. Their baja fish and shrimp tacos taste just like the ones alongside baja california (i know since i did a roadtrip along that coast) If you like fish tacos it's a must try!! Come here please you won't be disappointed!! Your Mexican parents won't be disappointed either (mine loved it) On a side note, la plaza del valle is an open area concept. They only have outdoor seating so plan accordingly since it absorbs any weather. They have multiple murals and wall art/decor to honor mexican culture and other latino cultures in the plaza (of which I am so proud of) Parking is nice and easy in the back. Check it out!
