The outdoor seating is very nice. It is more of an indoor space with huge windows. The salsa served with chips was too spicy for me but the rest of my family enjoyed it. The hostess was quick to seat us, get us drinks and offered us chips and Guacamole. She offered it like, "chips, salsa, guacamole?" Like it was complimentary, but laster charged us. I decided not to make a fuss because it was so good and was $8.98. The waitress took a while to come and take our order. Also my daughter ordered breakfast, machaca that the menu states comes with potatoes. It was served with rice and beans. The waitress says that they have changed it, but have not changed the menu yet, something she should have said to us when ordering. But was quick to bring us a small side of potatoes too.
The food was excellent, and I will still come back.

This review is long overdue. I’ve visited this restaurant multiple times, and each experience has been consistently impressive. The service is exceptional; the staff is always attentive, frequently checking in to ensure that everything is to my liking and offering helpful recommendations from their extensive menu. While chips and salsa are complimentary, the guacamole, though extra, is definitely worth the price—it’s fresh, flavorful, and a perfect complement to their slightly spicy salsa.
Every dish I’ve tried has been great, with no complaints so far. However, I would suggest skipping the *Camarones à la Diabla* if you’re expecting something particularly spicy, as I found it to be a bit sweeter than anticipated, though it still carries great flavor. On the other hand, the *Chilaquiles* are a standout; the chips retain a satisfying crispness and are not overly soggy, which I greatly appreciate. The meat is tender and well-cooked, adding to the dish’s overall quality.
Another favorite of mine is the Bistek with Ranchero sauce—absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend it with a side of sliced avocado and sour cream, though that’s my personal preference. The restaurant maintains a clean and welcoming atmosphere, with spotless restrooms and dining areas.
While it may be slightly on the pricier side, the food quality justifies the cost. Additionally, the menu offers a variety of gluten-free and vegetarian options, making it a great choice for those with dietary restrictions or food intolerances. The enchiladas, particularly the *Enchiladas de Mole* are also worth mentioning—they’re simply amazing. Overall, this is a solid choice for anyone seeking flavorful and well-prepared Mexican cuisine.

The most authentic Mexican food in South County. My husband had the fish 🐠 burrito and I had the best Cesar Salad 🥗 yummy I will be ordering that again. Portion sizes leave enough for lunch the next day. I had the Watermelon Margarita with Taquine on the rim and had the regular with salt. Good drinks too!

Decided to indulge in some sweet breakfast treats and tried the Nutella Pancakes and Berries Waffle.
Nutella Pancakes: Fluffy, soft, and generously drizzled with Nutella—basically dessert for breakfast. The Nutella was rich but Still, a solid choice if you have a sweet tooth.
Berries Waffle: A classic! The waffle had a nice crisp on the outside while staying soft inside. The fresh berries added a refreshing contrast, and the syrup tied it all together without making it too heavy. Could’ve used a bit more crunch for texture, but overall, a good pick.

First visit to this restaurant, nice patio seating.
I had the #6 shredded beef taco and cheese enchilada.
Good flavors all the way around, my only complaint is that the table chips were too tough and slightly hard to eat.
But a nice surprise at hearing the Mission bells ring, as the Mission is very close.
Good service, location has very limited parking.
Recommended.
