Had a late lunch here. It was delicious, and the gentleman (owner?) who waited on us was enthusiastic, helpful, and efficient. We ordered the Nachos with Steak and the Chicken Tacos Combination. All excellent.

Super delicious and cooked with a lot of pride and hard work for the owners of this establishment. The seafood here is good. Generous in serving size as well. The fried tacos are crisp and creamy in the inside the seafood wet burritos verde salsa is a great combination of flavor. Highly recommend coming here.

The Chili Relleno was excellent, the salsa and hot sauces were just as good. Enjoyed the tacos and the tortillas were some of the best I've had. Although the shrimp fajitas were a bit plain it was still a good experiance.

I got the papas locas/ Carne asada fries and they were so good! They put a lot of meat and it was flavorful and tender, not a ton of fatty or hard pieces like some places. I barely could finish half of it after a long day of hiking, so the portion size was huge. Great price too. 10/10 would definitely recommend and come back, the woman who took my order was a sweetheart.

The tacos here are incredible, especially the l pastor. The food is very good and it's run by a sweet elderly couple. I just wish the bathroom was a little cleaner.
