The tacos were solid--small, but well-filled and flavorful. I'd come back for those. But the torta was a letdown--probably the worst I've had. The cutlet was tiny, no avocado, dry bread, and nothing really stood out. The agua fresca tasted like watered-down canned pineapple juice, and the salsas lacked flavor. I was hoping this would prove my friend wrong about the lack of great Mexican food in the area... but so far, the search continues.

Chipotle is better and Surfside is even better.As I'm eating inside more towards the back a large American cockroach crawled out into the middle of the floor not the small German roaches. The larger American one.That totally threw me off. It was about to crawl on someone's shoe I had to tell him to watch out. He crushed it. I didn't say anything to the workers. They will find it later. First time trying this place. Also serval lights are out above the food. Workers polite and friendly. No music very quiet and awkward while eating inside. Definitely not going back to a place with them big ass roaches.

(It looks like it used to be an American diner). Everything is made to order right in front of you and it's all fresh. I had carne asada tacos and carnitas tacos with black beans and rice. You can order à la carte or as a platter - I chose the platter because I was hungry! They were delicious- especially the carnitas! All the accompaniments are authentic and super fresh. The tortillas are made on site and sooo soft and tasty. We also ordered chicken flautas which come with créma and guacamole. These were also very tasty. The restaurant seems to be run by a couple.

I had dinner here recently and I enjoyed the casual nature of the spot. I've gone to their previous location, which had a fire, and I like this current location much better even if it doesn't seem as popular as before. The food remains the same. Good, but not the best mexican. Though, I was spoiled living in california previously. The tacos and dips are the winner here. The quesadillas are heavy with the thick corn meal outer coating. It's just not to my taste. Overall, it's a great spot though. If it's nice weather, this is a go-to to sit on the deck. On my visit, they didnt have a liquor license but they now have it!

Rajas: This was my wife's favorite by far. Al Pastor: Far and away my favorite taco. Carne Asada: Tasted great and was what we wanted. Suadero/Carnitas/Pollo: These were fine. They lacked the intense flavors of the other tacos and while none were bad, I wouldn't get them again. Shrimp: My wife did not really like this one. Passionfruit Flan: Very subtle and not too sweet. The price was great and it was larger then expected. We enjoyed this. We enioyed our dinner on the upper outside patio and the service was great.

For lunch/dinner, burritos come with a choice of meat, and I cannot recommend the chicken mole enough.

Service is always speedy, and while there's not a lot of inside seating, there's a bunch outside. Cute spot for date night, brunch, or even just coffee or drinks.

I was working in this area and I had a taste for rolled tacos, so when I saw this place had Flautas, I had to try them. This place did not disappoint. The service was impeccable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There's plenty of seating on the inside, family-friendly, and their menu has a little bit of something for everyone to love. The 5 flautas were made fresh to order, were crispy and so delicious. It comes with a side of rice and black beans, which were also really good, but the star of the show were the Flautas. The chicken on the inside was tender and very flavorful. The meal comes with two sauces, a salsa verde and a salsa roja that tasted like it was adobo based and both complemented this dish well. I spent about 20 bucks, including the Jarritos fruit punch soda that I got as well. I will definitely be back here again to try some of the other menu options as I heard the barria dishes are also really good here. Highly recommend.
