We…read morewere greeted and seated by a very friendly young lady, who recommended the outdoor dining area behind the restaurant--and it was a great call. The space was really nice, and the weather made it even better. We started with chips and guacamole, both of which were excellent. The chips were clearly made fresh, not the usual bagged stuff, and it showed. The aguas frescas were also made from scratch. We tried the horchata and jamaica, and both tasted incredibly fresh and so good. I even asked the owner to confirm, and he backed it up, our taste buds didn't lie. For our meals, we had the chicken tinga enchiladas, which were amazing, like something mom used to make. We also tried the veggie tacos, and they were just as good. The nopales were especially impressive. The service was extremely friendly, the food was great, and the location made the whole experience even better. Looking forward to coming back, thank you!

We did not order any alcohol. I would describe both meals as competent. Nothing out of the ordinary. Good salsa. Portions were about right. Pricing was probably normal for Julian but heart stopping for Orange County restaurants. Would we eat here again on another visit to Julian? Probably. Maybe we would just get some big slices of pie for dinner and watch our blood sugars rise.

They had just a few spots next to the restaurant and they were all full. We ended up parking across the street and played Frogger to get to the restaurant. Lol! The food was great and I did my best to eat sll of the salad because it was just delicious. I like the way they presented refried beans in a small taco salad cup. You get the beans and the crunchy!

My beloved enjoyed his chicken fajita tostada; crispy fresh vegetables and generous sour cream & guacamole portions. The establishment charges extra 3.5% if paying with credit card.

Frankly, I find that practice coercive & refuse to participate in such.

It's the kind of place where you know what you're getting, and it hits the spot. Their California burrito is a beast. It's loaded with carne asada, crispy fries, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream -- pretty much everything you'd expect, but done right. Prices are fair, portions are big, and the staff is friendly and fast. It's not really a spot you hang out too long, but that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to be filled up If you're in Alpine and need a solid burrito or taco fix, this place won't disappoint. It's one of those dependable neighborhood spots I'll keep coming back to.

The service is consistently amazing: attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they truly care about their customers. The food? Out of this world.

A special shoutout to the owner, Chelsea, who is absolutely wonderful. Her passion for what she does shines through in every detail, from the food to the overall experience.

This is some of the best Mexican Food I've had in a long time. And this is coming from someone…read morewho's lived in San Diego all of his life (and is now in LA!) Service was amazing, so quick to come out with fresh chips and salsa (FRESH! as in they made the chips in-house... rare trait to come by these days IMO). Quantity of food was incredible. I can't speak for the menudo (dad got this) or for the 3 egg platter (not really sure why my mom got this) but $16 for a carne asada burrito as well as the beans, rice, and veggies on the side was such a steal. Especially in Anza Borrego. I would've thought it would maybe be more expensive since it probably costs a lot to bring out the best ingredients in the desert but somehow they have it all figured out. The carne asada burrito meat was top tier. Smoky flavor, soft with charred edges, so flavorful and overall the quantity of the burrito was way more than I was expecting. Lastly, I'm just so happy my dog got to sit outside with us. They have a shaded patio with a couple tables. I think other pet parents followed suit, as this seems to be a hit for dog-friendly spots here in Anza Borrego. I'd highly recommend. What a great find by me. Go me!! This is truly a hole in the wall that needs more recognition. You won't be let down!
