The burrito was good. The pork was tender and the chile verde had a good flavor. I wish the ratio of the pork to fillings was a bit more. The pork was cubed and I felt like I would reach a piece of meat every 3 bites. The salsa bar had several choices ranging from mild to hot. I got a red chile and a green salsa. I really like the red one which was a medium heat. The agua fresca was delicious and refreshing. There were a lot of locals eating here for lunch and you could tell by people saying hello to the staff or others to indict they were acquaintances.

I've always enjoyed the food here--it's good quality for a reasonable price--but the customer…read moreservice has really diminished the experience. There are two employees in particular whose attitudes are consistently unpleasant. One is a tall woman with darker skin tone who usually takes orders. She comes across as rude, never greets customers with a smile, and her tone of voice makes it feel like helping customers is a burden. The other, a woman with curly hair who mostly speaks Spanish, also responds with a rude tone and unhelpful attitude. If they dislike interacting with customers, they shouldn't be in customer-facing roles. The condition of the restaurant doesn't help either. The dining area is often dirty, and the salsa bar is poorly maintained--salsas are spilled into each other and not cleaned up. The bathrooms are filthy, smell terrible, and are frequently missing essentials like paper towels and toilet seat liners. This used to be one of the best spots for fast Mexican food, but it has really gone downhill. Owner, please check your staff and maintenance standards!

I really enjoyed the complimentary salsa bar and chips. Honestly, you can't go wrong. The chips were light and crispy, and the salsa of my choosing had a good kick to it. I ordered the carne asada burrito and asked for the burrito sauce on the side. The burritos were huge and definitely felt worth the $20 in terms of size. My main complaint was that there was barely any carne asada, and I wasn't a big fan of the burrito sauce. I actually preferred eating it with the salsa instead. The rice had a subtle flavor, which was decent, but overall the burrito was lacking that carne asada flavor I was expecting. For a $20 burrito, I expected more carne asada and a stronger overall flavor.

Don't think I have had tastier Mexican food...like...EVER…read more Was a nice beach day nearby and son was craving tacos, so co-pilot suggested we go here with family for an early din-din. It's not fancy, just another hole-in-the-wall family run kinda place, and if you don't like open/exposed foods all over the kitchen and in the back, move on gringo. (Saw this as I was going to wash hands after my meal.) Place is narrow but long, about 40 seat capacity, couple outside tables but no ambiance in case you are looking for one. They serve you chips and salsa but charge 2 bucks without telling you, saw later on the bill (great chips and homemade salsa was terrific). So that and the not-so sanitary kitchen and back area so to speak, is their only faults. But their food is borderline divine. Son ordered asada tostada...it's loaded with meat and toppings, very fresh crispy tostada easy A+. Great tasty diced carne asada very easy to chew. Wife had crispy tacos dorados with shredded beef, another hit very flavorful (A-) I opted for 3 separate tacos orders: A soft grilled shrimp (A+++) one of the best tasting shrimp I've ever had ANYWHERE. Clearly NOT farm-raised plastic tasting junk, so succulent and delish. 5 pieces in a taco; good size only 5 bucks is a steal. One aforementioned crispy shredded beef taco, also solid (A-) Al pastor soft taco (A) was sensationally delish, even though would love a live al pastor carving, not very reasonable at a place like this, but was Muy Bien. The side rice is bland, beans nothing special. All this for $58 bux including tip; brought own drinks because I love me some Poppi, sick of cancerous cokes and sprites. So in a nutshell, great, heavenly mex food minus petty chips and salsa charge, and all local Mexicans eat here, so that says something. 100% will return. Menu has a huge selection. A place as authentic as this should serve something significantly better on tables than bullshit crap hack-hot sauce Tapatio basura.

Tasted so fresh. The customer service was so nice. They let me try their delicious homemade drinks such as tamarind and horchata.. also the best I have ever had. Good prices too.

I went there for lunch on a weekday, and I was pretty pleased with the service and food. The woman at the counter did speak English so that's always feels more comfortable, especially if you have any special requests. They have an open kitchen where they assemble orders, and the cook was rather friendly. I ordered a roasted pork burrito (I can't remember the name, but it's not carnitas). The meat was tender and tasted like it was slow cooked. The tortilla is not anything special, but all the fillings (rice, beans) were good. There is larger rice than beans ratio, but they give plenty of meat protein. I have been here several times in the past. I remember totally ratchet seating areas, where there were large holes in the floor. There seems to be some updates and the seating area is cleaned up (but I've only done takeout). They now also accept credit cards. For a low cost burrito, this is satisfying. Most burritos are ~ 10.

Our group of friends recently dined here, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing…read more First, we were surprised to find that we were charged for the chips and salsa without being told there was a charge. It was only a dollar on each (5 ) of our bills but they should have told us. Many Mexican restaurants provide them as a complimentary appetizer, so it would have been nice if the server had let us know beforehand. The biggest issue, however, was the service. One person in our party never received his meal. We had to ask about it, and we were simply told, "It's coming," with no explanation or apology. We ended up waiting so we could all eat together, so my soup was cold and I ended up not eating it and had to take it home. When the bill came, I asked what had happened. I was hoping the server would apologize or at least explain the delay. Instead, she didn't really answer my question. Only after I commented that they must have forgotten it, server said his meal had burned and the kitchen had to remake it. It would have been much better if she had communicated that to us from the beginning instead of leaving us wondering what was going on. Throughout the meal, the server rarely checked on our table to see if we needed anything or if everything was okay. Given the long delay and lack of communication, I also think it would have been a nice gesture to either comp the delayed meal or at least remove the charge for the chips and salsa. And normally we would tip less but she added the tip to the bill Unfortunately, what should have been an enjoyable dinner with friends turned into a frustrating experience because of the lack of communication and customer service.
