Fresh ingredients and delicious citrus flavor. I especially loved the ceviche camaron. Reasonably priced too for the portion you get. They played fun Spanish music in here, I really loved the vibe. Casual but fun vibes. Many workers here only speak Spanish but they were able to understand our English just fine. Can't wait to come back and try more!

Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

I'm salivating just writing this review. The flavors are incredible, and every single dish I've tried here is packed with flavor. The complimentary bean dip served with the chips is pure magic. Pair it with their orange salsa at the salsa bar for an absolutely dynamite combo. Portions here are massive. I have never finished a plate in one sitting, so you're guaranteed to leave with a to-go box for later. My absolute go-to orders are the Guadalajara Fajitas or the California Burrito (loaded with chicken, steak, and shrimp). Pro-tip: the California Burrito isn't on the official menu anymore, but they'll still make it if you ask! The only real drawbacks are price, parking, and wait times. Prices have definitely gone up over the years, making it more of an occasional treat than a frequent visit. Waits range anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour and a half depending on when you go. The parking lot is tiny-especially since they expanded with outdoor patio seating-so I usually just park near the school a bit past the restaurant and walk over. (Honestly, the walk back helps after eating this much food!) Despite the wait and higher prices, the service is fast, friendly, and the food quality is untouchable. I'II never stop coming here!

We ordered from the happy hour menu, and the food was good with decent prices. The drinks, however, were a little disappointing. They were very sugary, including the Cadillac margarita, and unfortunately, they weren't very strong. The service was good and our server was attentive. The music was okay, but it seemed like the same six songs kept playing over and over, which got a little repetitive. The biggest downside for me was when the live band started playing. The music was extremely loud, to the point where it was difficult to hear the people at our own table. I enjoy live music, but the volume made it hard to have a conversation and enjoy the evening. Overall, the food, happy hour prices, and service were good. I'd probably come back, but I'd definitely check whether the live band is playing -- especially if you're looking to have dinner and actually enjoy a conversation.

This place was not like TJ at all. I love TJ! Best years of my life. I was a donkey show girl despite being a scaley manfish with a mangina. Rico and I had a grand time together and he loved me like no beast of burden ever could. I wanted to relive those magical years of my life all over again in this restaurant but was sorely disappointed when I couldn't. I ended up butt chugging a beer for attention and cried alone in the corner when i didn't get any. Bad tacos and Blood for the Blood God! read more
