Maybe I'm just spoiled by the delicious mexican food in Houston but this place wasn't very good. The chips were very hard. The salsa was ok. My son got a chicken quesadilla and it was soggy and nasty. None of us would eat it. The beans and rice were pretty tasteless. My husband enjoyed his nachos. The cashier was friendly and the prices would be reasonable if food was good.

True gem of relatively affordable food, hiding along the roadside before you fall into all the tourist trap stuff further down the peninsula. We had burritos filled with melty meat, beans, and cheese in tasty tortillas, tacos that didn't skimp on the fillings, washed down with cool horchata. And of course the chips and salsa, a staple - devoured in minutes, but they're generous enough that you'll have plenty of salsa left over to dollop it on the rest of your food, and you'll want to.
Somewhat protected by being a little inaccessible - recommend parking across the street in front of West Marine and crossing the street.

Bean tostada is amazing! Great salsa, chips and service too! The green Chile burrito is my absolute favorite! The staff is super friendly! This is a local favorite of mine!

I once learned n school, (it takes 10 years to get a customer and 10 seconds to lose one). I've been coming here for 30 years(no more) this WAS my favorite Mexican restaurant in CA. Something has happened here the machaca burrito is mostly beans. I don't recognize anyone working?( New owners maybe). Service is slow . Below is my old review!
Nothing fancy just awesome food. My new favorite item is the beef (shredded) and potato burrito. It is drippy/sloppy/delicious. It must be eatin w/a fork.
