    California burrito
    Phil F.

    WOW. A true sleeper on the coast. Extensive menu. Awesomely good find. Great service. One of, if not the best, taco salads I have ever had! The California burrito plate was huge, hot and tasty. The churros and fried ice cream were spot on! Our server, Stephany, was super friendly. Very knowledgeable about menu items and ensured a great experience! The ambience is awesome, a true cantina feel. Decorated tastefully with a lot of thought.

    Great food. I had a chile relleno and a chalupa (tostada). It was delicious and authentic. The chips and salsa were typical American style chips, very thin Tostito style. I would have preferred Mexican totopo tortillas chips, but the salsa was good. I could tell they were heavy on the cumin. The service was great; my server spoke both Spanish and English. There are few tables in the small dining room, but much of their business is take-out, and there is a drive through window. Parking spots behind the restaurant are also limited, but I did find a spot. The music was very loud, so I changed tables to one farther away from the speakers. I would not consider this an intimate restaurant for a date, neither suitable for a business lunch because of the loud music. The limited seating makes it unlikely for groups. But if you like great Mexican food, this is your place. I recommend them.

    Not bad. I have to say this place is authentic and great for Mexican street tacos. They had great flavor and good customer service. If you are looking for some good authentic street tacos this place is not bad. They also have $1 taco Tuesday deals but that's for your regular American Tacos which are not worth it to me. If I'm going to have a taco, I want a real Mexican street taco and that's what this place serves. I had the Pastor Taco and the steak and chicken combo street tacos. They had great flavor and the toppings were grilled perfectly the hot sauces were flavorful and not too hot. I would eat here again for Tacos... the street kind not the American tacos. It's just not the same.

    I got here pretty often. If you want something authentic then I was suggest El Potrillo! The tacos are amazing and the staff is always ON IT! They remember your order when you walk in the door. These ladies work hard. The place is a little small but it gets pretty packed around lunch from experience.

    This is the coziest Mexican place I've been too not at all what is expected from the exterior Small dining area but very adequate seating And the food and service is top notch. I had the taco salad and my company had the steak and peppers fajita and both were more than enough and absolutely delicious for the price my only concern was the taco shell and plating that had water on the bottom which cause my shell to be soggy like they put the lettuce in wet but didn't take away from the taste at all.. could not finish the whole thing

    Best street tacos in Biloxi aside from La Bamba restaurant and supermarket (also amazing located on judge sekul Ave ) . A small orange joint on pass road that's easy to miss. They never disappoint. The closest thing to authentic California street tacos I could find.

    I called this location thinking that they had the Birria tacos like how the Gulfport location advertise. WRONG. They were not the birria dipped tacos that I am used to having with the consume. Normally birria dipped tacos you take the tortilla and dip it in the broth, grill it with the meat and mozzarella and it becomes this crunchy taco and on the side is the dipping broth with pieces of the meat, onions and cilantro in it. The Biloxi location version of a birria taco was regular street taco with a bowl of oily broth on the side. If you're looking for a true authentic birria taco, do not go here. Unfortunately the Gulfport location were sold out of their birria tacos which is why I went to the Biloxi location. Although I have not tried the Gulfport location birria taco, the picture looks true to an authentic birria taco and I look forward to trying it there.

    Popped in for Taco Tuesday, and got to try the birria tacos as well (they were AMAZING). Free chips and salsa were good, and we enjoyed a couple cold beers to round it out. Everything was spot on and the service was attentive and quick. It was absolutely an overall excellent visit. We will 100% be back soon!

    Taco Tuesday... This is what it looked like.

    I get it's taco Tuesday, however if this is the way they taste any other day of the week, I will pass. No flavor!!! Service was good but I was the only one there. Sadly, I won't be returning.

    Lots of seating inside and the server was great. I highly recommend their tripas tacos as long as you don't mind no chitlins. Delicious!

    Hands down my favorite place in Gulfport. Epic food and epic service getting served here. Family…read moreowned and operated, Get some colombian coffee and an Arepa Burger for lunch and a meat sampler platter for dinner. (I've done this) And end the evening with a Lulazo. Ask for the breakfast menu if your early and want to eat lite.

    Sorry for the long review but this place deserves the time…read more This restaurant is in a blink and you will miss it location, which is a real shame. We received an enthusiastic greeting upon walking in the door which felt truly genuine, and not the forced feeling that usually accompanies the scripted entry greetings. They weren't busy so we were told to sit wherever suited us. Our server, Jairo was super friendly and eagerly answered any questions we had about both the food and the restaurant itself. I was interested in the panela lemonade, which I loved. It is a darker almost smokier version of lemonade made with brown sugar, which mellows out the acidity with more complex flavors. For an appetizer we had the empanada sampler which is now only 3 ground beef empanadas( my fault for not reading the description because it does clearly say it), it was explained to me that they used to be an actual sampler of flavors but that it is now just the ground beef. They are corn flour based empanadas. This gives the dough a slightly sweeter earthier taste which I personally preferred. They were perfectly filled and the sauces accompanying them were perfectly suited the them. For entrees we both ordered Picada platters. Usually when we go out we make sure not to order the same thing so we can try more things, but his time neither of us would budge. They come with grilled steak, chicken. cased chorizo, and rellena, fried pork belly, plantains, and yuca, served with roasted Colombian yellow potatoes and an arepa. DUDE! I'm glad I didn't give in and order something else. This was fantastic. The steak and chicken were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Sausages were all crispy. The only thing remotely negatively that was can come up with is that the fried foods did need a littl bit of salt. That being said I was more than happy with what was on the plate. I assure you the only reason everything didn't get smashed was I hadn't been awake long and it takes a bit to get my appetite, bit have no doubt I got the rest boxed. There is one key thing I want to say about something else that I ate here. Rellena, ie. Columbian black pudding/blood sausage. Just put it in your mouth, chew, and don't panic. It's amazing. I've had British black pudding and wasn't really a fan. This is different though. It has a much better texture to get off the bat. Crispy on the outside and a perfect density inside. The deep smokey seasonings elevate this to a piece of art. Just trust me on this one and don't descriminate against this sausage Find this little family owned restaurant and stuff your face, you won't regret it.
