    Was an awesome experience... me and my friends went to lunch there, and one of their servers, Ludy was an absolute jem! She educated my friend on how to pronounce some of the menu items and was extremely nice. The food was fantastic, didn't wait more than 10 minutes once we ordered, and their salsas were off the charts delicious. It was the first truly authentic experience since I moved away from southern California 10 yrs ago. 10/10 will go again.

    This is one of my favorite lunch spots to come and enjoy the outdoor patio. It is a little small but they utilize the space well. The food is always good! I love the green salsa! Their lunch chicken soup is great! Anything I’ve tried has not disappointed me. Today I came after not being here since the name change, and the service was very good! From the greeting of the hostess to our server Ludy - Excellent! Definitely will be back! Thank you ladies

    This is our go to restaurant when we want Mexican food. The food is consistently excellent, the owners and staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service is good. We have had Ludy serve us the past few visits and she is awesome! They give you three different types of salsa with your chips, all of which are very tasty whether you like mild or spicy. Whatever food we order is always very good and never disappoints. The inside area is small and casual, but they do have outside seating, which is always what we choose. Very laid back and good for a great meal anytime!

    The food and service here is great! My waitress Ludy was very kind and professional. I highly recommend the enchiladas verdes and guacamole mexicano. You get three types of salsa once you sit down too, which are excellent. This place is a must try if you’re in the area! Very authentic Mexican food!

    A Must-Visit for Authentic Mexican Flavor! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and a generous bowl of fresh chips accompanied by three different types of salsa — each one delicious in its own way! It was a great start to what turned out to be an exceptional meal. We ordered their 20oz margaritas, and wow — they did not disappoint. Perfectly balanced, refreshing, and just the right amount of kick. Definitely some of the best we’ve had! For our main course, we tried both the vegetarian and chicken fajitas, and they were absolutely to die for. The sizzling platters arrived loaded with vibrant veggies and tender, perfectly seasoned meat — the flavor was just unbeatable. You can also ask for their in-house spicy salsa, which added a bold, fiery twist that we couldn’t get enough of. Every bite was a celebration of authentic Mexican taste. Can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!

    We've eaten here a couple times over the last few months and it's quickly becoming my favorite restaurant. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and quick, and the food and drinks are both consistently great. On our most recent visit this past Saturday evening, Ludy took care of us and was very patient with us while we looked over the menu, answered our questions, and made recommendations based on what we were interested in (I chose the Tres Amigos, see included picture). It's this level of service that we truly appreciate. Will definitely be a returning customer.
