Welcome Margarita
Zee V.

Service good. Food not so much. I ordered vegan tacos got guacamole on tortilla shell,...Nope, not the business. Yes avocados are vegetables but...okay on the drink, Margarita, Margarita.,, another disappointment

Storefront
Yvonne C.

Place was pretty empty and they seated our large group with no problem. The best part was that they were able to give us separate checks. I was starving after a long day of shenanigans, I ordered the chicken flautas (so hungry I forgot to take a picture). They were okay but nothing to rave about. Their hot sauce was suprisingly hot, kind of like it hurts so good type hot. I would have given them 3 stars for their average food but the bathrooms...e-gad! So very smelly and when I find the bathroom in a mess or smelly as this one it makes me think how do they keep their kitchen. ProTip: They have free Wi-fi

Enchiladas suizas
Patricia M.

Great flavorful food me and my mother got some delicious food I got enchiladas suizas and my mom got some quesadillas with rice and beans excellent food will be back again. Super friendly staff

The mysterious "Coca-Cola Light" AKA "Diet Coke". I guess no one but the US doesn't go in for all that "Diet" Nonsense.

This was literally where the cabbie dropped us off after catching a ride from the border crossing. We were hungry, confused, in a strange city, off the internet, and wanting lunch. A gentleman out front invite us in, and with no way to check Yelp we agreed. To be clear, everyone was very nice from start to finish. As someone who was nervous about the prospect of the mysterious "Tijuana" I didn't know if I should expect the mexican Hamburgler to be waiting around every corner planning to mug me or what. The problem was that the food just wasn't all that good. Maybe I was expecting some kind of magical mexican food transformation across the border, but I felt that my Beef Burrito had too much Tomato sauce, and the sauce itself was pretty watery. If your cab driver drops you off here, I'm afraid I'd encourage you to keep going on down the street.

Authenticity

Real authentic food. Everyone was all smiles. The drinks were amazing, the environment was nothing short of spectacular.

Burrito???
Stephanie L.

Service was bad, the lady would ask what we wanted while she was talking to other customers and we got our beer order wrong, we asked for cheese in our burrito and no cheese she brought it out 15 minutes later. Food was not all that great, the beans were freaking spicy . Never coming back.

What a surprise! I happened to be in the area and I knew I had to try this restaurant out…read more I saw this restaurant on instagram. And it's a little bit of a drive from where I live. But today I happen to be in the area and I told my husband to try this place out. He was so happy! Once you place your order our waitress came with a big plate of sweet bread and you get to pick one! I picked the concha and my husband got the pineapple empanada! We ordered a bit of everything. My husbands go to meal always is chilaquiles. So he ordered the DIVORCIADOS $16.50 Half green and half red with carne asada and beans. We also got the CARNE EN SU JUGO $15.99 And I got the MENUDO ROJO $15.50 Let me start off by saying everything was amazing! It all tasted like it was homemade! Perfectly seasoned, with hand made tortillas. The carne en su jugo was really good! I understand why they are known for that dish. I loved my Menudo! I was craving it and it was perfect. The chilaquiles, the chips weren't soggy, they still had a bite to them. The sauces had so much flavor! My husband and I left with full bellies and a big smile on our faces! All the waitresses and waiters were so nice! Diego was telling us the story of the restaurant. Which was nice to hear. All family owned. Hopefully they open another restaurant closer to us!!! Fingers crossed! I will definitely come back to this restaurant and recommend it to all my family and friends!

Food I've tried, Taquitos,salsa, chillaquilles,Menudo,beans…read more,milanesa,tortillas hechas a mano! When my sister and I cross the border to go home, this is our go to place. Somebody in that kitchen Cares about what they're making for Me & You, and I can taste it ,in every bite of food. The lettuce , tomatoe, and all veggies are always fresh and super clean as is the restaurant. We met Diego today, he is the owners son,very respectful, courteous and attentive as were the waitresses. I highly recommend you come and try. Muchas Gracias El Rincon
