The cocktails and tacos were fine. I've had better, so I would not come again. Service was good at the beginning, but once we started eating and needed our bill it took awhile. It's located in the downtown area, so it reminded me of a smaller version of downtown Temecula.

This place has my favorite birria and I love their aguas because you can do a chamoy and tajin rim, yum! My go to's are anything birria but quite honestly, everything is good. There are many things that are shareable, and the carne asada fries are my favorite. Tried their new loaded guacamole and taquitos de papas, and wow so tasty and delicious.

Service was 0, the ambiance, decoration and cleanliness and decoration 4 stars, the tacos: 4.5. Tacos were so tasty, delicious, the fish and shrimp tacos were some of the best fancy, non-street ones I ever had. The sauce blended with all the flavor of the protein seasoning. The tortilla was fluffy. I will definitely go back and try more!

Our only problem was 30 minutes after eating this food, we both had stomach cramps and diarrhea. Sorry if that is too much information. I'm just keeping it real lol We decided that we would not eat here again. It didn't agree with our stomachs. Ambiance was loud with the music and crowded.

Many of them had not been and only a couple had heard of it. It's a family owned single location. We found it while camping at the Launch Point RV Park located nearby. I tried the birria and the brisket but the highlight for me is the Carne Asada. It's great in the tacos, burritos, and especially on their french fries. Something about the cut of meat that they use or the way that they prepare it is different from most places and really flavorful. They have a really good assortment of sauces and the staff was super friendly. We went here three times in three days because it was that good. I highly recommend you check it out and I hope you have as good experience as I do because I've been craving these ever since I left!

This small location is tied in with the local park just past downtown. My initial impressions were…read morenot that great because I saw that the park public restrooms were inside the location and fenced in. The initial odor wasn't so pleasant. The men's bathroom did not have hand washing soap and it was very dark inside. I was prepared to give a very unfavorable rating. However. after receiving and tasting the food and drinks I was very surprised. The food was amazing and much authentic. The aguas frescas were definitely fresh and delicious! I observed patrons enjoying their taquito plate and burritos. I will definitely return to try another entree. They do only offer outside patio seating but I think it's part of the ambiance. The service was very friendly. I definitely could tell that they use fresh products. Again, some of the negatives was the occasional restroom odor and that they charge a service fee for paying via credit card. Don't confuse it with La Única restaurant downtown

We had an incredibly frustrating breakfast experience here. I'm generally understanding when a…read morerestaurant is busy or short-staffed, but there were so many mistakes and such poor communication that it became unacceptable. Our order was taken incorrectly, and when I pointed it out, I was told that I had never given the correct order--even though I had repeated it twice. My children's order was also wrong. When the food finally came, we still didn't have our drinks, and even the tortillas were incorrect. The breaking point was my child's drink. About 40 minutes after our food arrived, we still didn't have it. I went inside and told the employee I was happy to take the drink myself--I simply needed it so my child could eat. She said okay, yet I stood at the counter for another 15 minutes while she continued doing other things and then attempted to take another customer's order. At that point, yes, I became visibly frustrated and said I wasn't willing to continue waiting. Nearly an hour for a child's drink after multiple mistakes is unreasonable. Another customer then decided to involve herself, telling me to calm down and not be rude because the employees were "doing their best." She had no idea what had happened before that moment or how long we had already been waiting, and the interaction unfortunately escalated from there. I understand that people make mistakes and employees can become overwhelmed. My issue wasn't one mistake--it was the repeated mistakes, extremely long wait, lack of follow-through, and then being told I hadn't communicated something that I absolutely had. I hope management provides better training and support because this experience was unnecessarily chaotic and frustrating. We came in wanting to enjoy breakfast as a family, and instead spent most of it trying to get basic parts of our order corrected.

The girl at the counter greeted me with a smile and was INCREDIBLY professional! I asked about their namesake taco the "Aztlan Taco" and she broke it down for me. I didn't get her name but she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I ordered two of the "Aztlan" tacos with carne asada as she recommended, they were really tasty! I think the carne asada could've been a bit more savory but it's only a minor suggestion. The authentic flavors and in-house tortillas wrapping the tacos were phenomenal. My highlight were the sopes! I cannot recommend them enough, you MUST try the sopes! I ordered one chicken sope and it was hands down one of the best sopes I've ever had! The cream, cheese, meat and sope itself tasted like ingredients I would get in Mexico! Trust me, I know authentic. PRO-TIP: Squeeze a little lime on your Aztlan tacos, I did! Everything about this taco shop was quite convenient and accessible. There's a salsa bar which is covered at all times, a small fountain with classic soft drinks and a side fountain with jamaica and horchata. The restaurant was very clean and modern. I appreciated the quality AC too! Note: Dine-in customers receive a free pack of small tortilla chips or a small bag of Fritos. I recommend the corn tortilla chips.

He wanted carnitas enchiladas what he got was the carnitas combo plate and a side of enchiladas. I ordered the carnitas sopes which were delicious! Highly recommended. The chili releno that my mom order did not look good to me. It looked like they spread onions, peppers and tomatoes on top of the chilies instead of blended into the sauce.

The huevos rancheros...well look at them. Doesn't that look delicious? It was. I won't speak on the flan because, well, I don't think I like flan much. The dining area is roomy.

It all came out hot and fresh and the beer was ice cold. The home made salsa Roja had the very best flavor and it had the habanero kick we were looking for...so look out.

I tried calling the restaurant several times, but no one answered. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've had issues at this location. It seems like there's a recurring lack of attention to detail, and it's frustrating when you take the time to verify your order and it still isn't correct. I hope management addresses these ongoing service issues so future customers don't have the same experience.
