There is both indoor seating and outdoor seating and it's located on the cutest street. The fish and shrimp tacos were great and filling, topped with so much crunchy cabbage, hiding the protein, but it was there. The flautas were delicious and the steak tacos had big, juicy bites of steak. The guac was weak (not an order but what came with flautas). It was more of a thick avocado salsa. Props to the great beer options - with some local varieties from Davis. We went when school was out for summer and it was still quite busy for dinner. I imagine during school days, it's packed. I see why this is on so many of the Yelp top places to eat: it's a great value with large portions and good eats.

Our "guac" came out as a large, runny scoop with more of a pico vibe than actual guacamole... not a fan. It was even served on a plate instead of a bowl which felt a little off. Chips are self-serve from the salsa bar, horchata tasted like a premix, iced tea was fine, and only one salsa had any real heat. It was super busy with college kids so clearly it's a popular spot. Service was genuinely great though, very attentive, and the salsa bar was actually spotless which I appreciated. Nothing was bad, nothing was memorable either... just kind of meh.

They have lots of seating inside, there is no outside seating at this location.

I usually have the regular asada burrito with black beans, and enjoy it with their roasted habanero salsa and escabeche. Today, though, I decided to mix it up a bit with two goat quesabirria tacos (still with habanero salsa, don't worry) and consommé. So delicious! The people working there are always friendly, even though they are always swamped (which is a fantastic sign). They are also still quick. Casual, of course.

I personally liked this because I felt very welcomed and taken care of. Onto food - I have ordered a super burrito in the past and cannot recall it much. It was a decent size but I think I still prefer the burritos over at north Guads. This time I ordered asada nachos and a tamarind JARRITOS which cost me about $21. I normally don't finish nachos but I think it was a combination of how good it was and how hungry I was that I left no crumbs. I liked the chunky tomato slices, could have used more cilantro, but the meat ratio was perfect. Would 100% get again.

We ordered DoorDash for dinner, craving Mexican and wanted something quick…read more We got 3 chicken enchiladas and 3 beef - 2 green of each and 1 red of each. They were pretty good! The green sauce had a roasted flavor while the red had a bit of a kick to it. However, both the shredded chicken and the beef in the enchiladas were a little chewy. Also they were kinda small. We ordered a thing of beans and rice- both were good, the beans were full flavor and tons of cheese. I know it's supposed to be on the cheaper side, but it really wasn't. The subtotal for 6 enchiladas and a side of rice and beans each ended up being 55 before any fees, taxes, ect. You can get two combo enchiladas plates for much less than about 28 each at many other places. And yes, it was 3 enchiladas not 2- but again, they were smaller than a standard enchilada. So 3 was really more like 2. I'm not sure if any combos are offered in store, but there wasn't any on DoorDash. Also for the side of beans being 7.50 and the side of rice being 7.50, I thought I'd get a larger portion of each. However, each portion was for about two people. So that means if ordering a side of rice and beans for yourself, it would be about 7.50. That's pretty high I think. At most places it's like three dollars to maybe five dollars not to mention cheaper if ordering in a combo. It wasn't bad by any means, but I thought wed get more food for the price. And again the texture of the shredded chicken and beef along with the size of the enchiladas was a bit disappointing. Not to mention on DoorDash I did select to have extras on the side, such as forks and salsa, but they did not include any salsa on the side. This was odd to me as a lot of times without even mentioning that you want salsa on the side most Mexican food places will pack that . And I really did not feel there was enough sauce on the enchiladas. Like once I started cutting into it and eating it, especially that the chicken was chewy, I was really wishing for some salsa or some more sauce. I ended spraying a little bit of oil to help out, as it was the only thing I had, which was not ideal.

Once the students come back in late September it will be chaos again. The food here is good, not great. I've kinda found my wheel house with those super nachos, my wife gets the asada fries, and my kids get the quesabirria tacos. This is pretty much our standard order. I've tried the quesabirria and it can be a little plain, but in the consume it is quite good. The carnitas on my nachos is always crispy, and that is definitely what I'm looking for when I get carnitas. The are seasoned well, but they are not top tier, though they are good. When the ask for changes to our plates typically they get it perfectly, so the kitchen pays attention, which I like. The last thing I need to hear is my kids complaining that they got something on their plate they didn't want. Not much else service wise when you eat in. You order sit down with your number and the food comes out. This place used to be terrible, but it's decent now, and for the price decent is ok by me.

Quite possibly the worst fast food experience I've ever had. It seems as though I'm next in line to tell my story. I go in around 1am 6/19 with my bf. We first wait 10-15 in the drive thru watching other cars become impatient and leave. When we get to the front, we order. But then it goes silent. We wait another 5 minutes saying hello every so often. Eventually I leave the drive thru and park in the parking lot. We experienced the same wait we did outside, inside, without being acknowledged once. After some time, we were able to make our order. However when the food comes out, it resembled prison slop. I immediately ask for a refund, but was told that no one in the establishment knows how to do one. They then offer me a gift card. I refuse. Throughout all this, they are laughing at me. I ask to speak to the manager and was told that they are not there, and to come later at 8pm. We leave with my receipt. I go there around 10:30pm with receipt in hand. I am told that the manager isn't there and once again, no one knows how to do a refund. I ask when will he be in the next day 6/20, I'm told he'll be in at 7-8am. I get off work at 7am so I say perfect, I'll go after work. Next day, I get there. Surprise, he's not there! And now no one knows when he'll be in. I come back later in the day, around 3:20, am told he's in a meeting. "Give him 20 minutes." So wait. Come back at 3:45pm, he's not here. Ridiculous! After going back and forth with two female employees, the supervisor says she'll call him. Comes back and begins to do the refund. Wait what?! So you could've done it this whole time! "Yes, I just needed approval." Wooow...okay. Why didn't you say this this whole time? You didn't know how to do one. But when I get my "refund" receipt, it's not the same order at all. She's claiming it is. Look below at pics for reference. When I look at my bank statement, it's not showing. She claimed it's instant. Then it turned into 3-24 hours! But then she does this. She proceeds to rip my original copy in half! Claiming that she thinks I'm going to use it again in the future to get another refund. What??! So now the argument has turned into getting the bottom receipt back. By this time, she's threatening to call the cops! It took talking to 2 other employees to get it back. I say I won't take it, I'll just take a picture. I do so and leave. It wouldn't be until later that night, (tonight 6/20), that I realized what she had actually done. She never refunded me my money. She went into her system, found an order with a close enough total, and printed me out that receipt, claiming she refunded me. Hence why it's titled a "reprint" at the top. I'm in such shock. The pettiness, incompetent attitude, blatant disrespect, and profound lies that I've been met with today will always remind me to never eat here again. Whoever hired these people needs to do some reflection. I will be calling corporate, or whoever I need to to make sure these people never do this to someone else again. read more
