    Thursday night in Downtown Placentia 8:22pm. Place is a ghost town. Maybe it's because we're close to closing time at 9pm. Owner/cook is just chillin watching Swamp people on the TV. Ok. He greets us and says we can sit anywhere we like. We're greeted by the waitress, our order was taken and we were given some excellent salsa and chips. My wife and I order carne asada fries, 2 birria tacos, 2 tacos de pollo and one quesadilla. The portions on carne asada fries were huge! But the fries were dry and somewhat rubbery. Don't know if the fries were cooked long enough. Good flavor though. Quesadilla was a significant size, but lacked flavor. Yes, a quesadilla is just tortilla and cheese but it makes a difference on what type of cheese is used. The tacos, (birria) had good flavor profile and looked carefully manicured. Portions were a bit on the small side for the price. ($1.65 for the basic tortilla and $2.25 for hand made tortilla). I guess I'm just used to the normal overstuffed tacos with the meat, cilantro and onions hanging over the side of the tortilla. All in all it's fair. Maybe we need to come at a different time instead of 30-40 min before closing time. Wouldn't go out of my way to make it here, but if I'm in the area I might give it a try again.

    There are several Mexican restaurants in Old Town Placentia, including one that seemingly everyone says is the best not just here, but for miles. This however, is our favorite, though admittedly we've many left to try. Not among the fanciest but it is bright and clean and for flavor, generous portions, and price, not to mention fast friendly service, it's going to take quite a bit to find a better place. It is my habit, on an initial visit to have my goto combo. Shredded beef enchiladas, rice and beans. The beef was well seasoned and the colorado (it"s a color, not a state 😊) was a deep red and among the best I've had elsewhere. The sided were ample with a generous amount of cheese on the beans. In translation the food lives up to the tasty name. SABROSO, INDEED!

    Complementary chips and salsa as soon as I sat down. Carne asada wet burrito has a perfect spice to it. Chicken taco tast very fresh. Very nice people and a clean restaurant.
