They usually have a smal but good quality vegetable selection. Count on Avacados, tomatoes, and cilantro being there at least. The lady that runs it will give you great hints on how to make AWESOME Mexican food. One night I was in there, and she came out with a type of Spanish Rice to try. I do not care for Mexican or Spanish Rice, but not wanting to be rude I go ahead and eat it. I had a mini food orgasm! It was delicious. I asked for the recipe and she gave it to me. I now make great Spanish Rice! The same lady makes all of her own bakery products. I do not know the name of the pineapple filled turnover she makes, but I imagine it is LOS ORGASMOS! (Plural because you will become multi-orgasmic) One the weekends they have La tienda fare (tamales, tacos, menudo, etc.) I have only had the Tamales and they were incredible! This is really a place you should try out!!!

The ambiance was very pleasant, everything was clean, service was great and, best of all, the food was delicious. I lived in San Diego for 20 years, ate and loved a lot of fish tacos while there so I ordered (grilled) fish tacos with a side of black beans. They did not disappoint, best fish tacos I've had since leaving San Diego. The fish was perfectly cooked, the seasonings were great, the corn tortillas hot and fresh, and they had a nice assortment of sauces. The avocado lime sauce paired perfectly with the fish. I'm not a huge black bean fan but these were really tasty. My wife is a picky eater, not big on Mexican food beyond the traditional seasoned ground beef so she got the traditional soft taco (seasoned ground beef, lettuce, cheese) and she loved it, even the cheese, probably a queso fresco but not sure. Oh, and the basket of tortilla chips served with salsa, they were great too. Still hot from the fryer, they were thick and crispy and the salsa was nice with just a little kick. We love this place and will return whenever we're in the area. I'm hoping to convince them to make me a "surf & turf" type burrito with carne asada and shrimp.

My hubby heard great things…read more It was "meh". They have steak but don't offer steak fajitas...... Chicken was a little over cooked, and the rice had ZERO flavor. Also- they gave me a DOLLOP of sour cream for 3 tortillas. I also agreed that if you have a business don't skimp of the important things-! STREET CORN HAS CHAR!!!!!! It should NEVER be canned corn- I mean, c'mon. But he did say it was decent. He ordered the Sunday special- and he didn't like it, at all.... He said the meat was all fat- No meat in it. And the "consommé" had zero flavor, and was oily. The best thing I ate was my daughters French fries....sadly. The margarita was ok. Not the best.... Not in a hurry to go back. But had to try it.

Air hockey table (out of commission as of 9/10/2022). Engraved wood everything - tables, chairs, assorted decor. Somebody shelled out some beaucoup bucks to decorate this place. Definite small-town vibes here. Didn't eat, but the pervasively Spanish-speaking staff makes me think it's worth a shot the next time we're in town. 5 stars, no complaints.
