    The food was so good & fresh! I highly recommend coming in and trying the food & Micheladas. The place was clean & the servers were attentive.

    This is the first time that we sat down and ate at this establishment. We have always picked up tubs of Mariscos to go for our family functions, the Mariscos were really delicious. Dinner tonight was good, Coctel Maleficio Aguachile, callo de hacha, this was made of Aguachile, shrimp, and scallops, and was delicious. There was a lot of seafood in it. The tacos de Camarón were also very good. The service was great. The young lady that waited on us was courteous, friendly and attentive. The structure is medium in size with plenty of tables and chairs and booths to sit down and enjoy your meal. The prices are fairly reasonable in line with other establishments of its kind. There's plenty of parking with the handicap stalls near the front entrance.

    The shrimp cocktail with pulpo !

    This is my mom's and I's favorite location for some delicious lukewarm shrimp cocktail with pulpo! Her and I have recommended it to MANY and they love the service & how quick the servers are! It's always so clean inside and they have all you need right at your table!

    Mariscos a little bit of everything

    I ordered the Campechana and it was bland. Didn't have the flavor I was looking for, though the ambiance did seem ok.

I really came for the Quesobirria tacos I ordered the combo with 3 tacos and rice and beans. Also got a regular drink that did not come with the combo. Total was around $25 which kinda crazy but I understand price for meat has gotten higher so restaurants still need to make a profit. They had three salsa this I have to say was the only downside was that none of them were actually spicy at all. I'm not sure if the one I had was the habanero one that's what it was labeled, but it did not taste nor look like habanero salsa so perhaps they just didn't have that one at the bar. Once I got my plate, it looked great Every taco had a very good portion of meat inside they were nice and seasoned. The meat was not even remotely dry. It was nice and tender and juicy. Tacos were by far the best ones I've had in this area. Their rice and beans were good as well. All in all, I definitely will be coming back. Also, I love that they have outdoor seating.

You get large portions and worth the price IMO. The food came out in lightening speed ! Which was shocking and loved how fast we were able to eat. The only negative thing I can say about their new place is the service. The service was great but they interrupted our meal several times and I felt like we couldn't take a breath to enjoy the food. The server kept asking if we were ok but we barely got our food and we were asked several times while trying to enjoy it. Also the photographer just coming up to use while we ate. We literally took pics with food in our mouths. Everything seemed so rushed. With all the times we were asked if we were okay or needed anything no server came with a pitcher of water to refill our cups. None of them asked about our drinks either. I will be back but maybe in the day time and not the evening time. ( to see if it will be different) the owner or manager needs to tell staff to kind of chill on asking people if they are ok especially when we barely got our food and interrupted several times during the meal. Let people eat and enjoy it for a little bit before being asked like every 5 mins lol

The restaurant was rented out for a few hours to host an event for my family. Everything was done with elegance and class; it was such a pleasure to have booked this restaurant. A special thank you to the owners, managers, and staff who made this a beautiful experience. Thank you also to our server, Jose, who without a doubt would be the reason for many of us returning. This was my first time here with my family, but definitely not my last. Only con: limited parking in front; but it is so worth finding a parking spot. They put much effort into this place. I really appreciate the ambiance; it was a pleasant one. Highly recommend giving this place a try, you won't regret it. If I can offer what item to try, it would be either the bowel, birriaqueso tacos, or burrito amor. Hands down BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN CHINO HILLS! (Sorry didn't get pictures) next time

They should've left well enough alone when it used to be an Irish pub same owner I believe and for whatever reason they decided to go with this Mexican Cantina that was just never full of people or really caught on. The prior Irish pub used to have some music and dancing I can't remember maybe on Thursdays or something and it was pretty popular so why they made the change I don't know but now it's permanently closed. Let's get something in here that's well liked and tolerated by everybody that can last a few years instead of every other year there's something new struggling to make it go. Their street tacos and food platters weren't bad and the beer was always cold, it was a quiet place to hide out but I guess that was its downfall sometimes you could be the only one in there or two or three other people and that won't pay the bills in a location that's known for high rent.
