2025 edit: service was great but the sloping parking lot needs salted badly in icy conditions we ended up sliding down the hill and losing all the food we had just bought. Had to go back in to rebuy a meal. Sooooo busy and soooo good! Also very quick which I did not expect with that crowd. We originally intended to go to a nearby Mexican restaurant but they had to close unexpectedly that day. Came here on a whim and so glad we did. Portions are ginormous I had to split my leftovers into 2 containers because it wouldn’t fit. I have the super burrito and my husband had the Azteca burrito.... Amazing food. I will say I did not care for the cheese dip it is literally water. Has flavor but so thin it won’t stick to a chip. Does fine over the burrito tho

The servers are awesome here, and your food and drinks always come out hastily even when they're super busy. They have some of the best Mexican food around! Also, I would 10 out of 10 recommend their Birria Tacos!

I grew up in California.... Mexican food is a must for me. This is by far the best Mexican place for miles around. I have been a repeat customer for 5 years. Never had a single issue, which is astounding as Im very critical. Tried others locally, and this place is by far the best for customer service and taste.

Great place! Food is always good and the staff is great! Dinner time is a very busy time and the staff always keep a smile and they're attentive to all their customers. Great place for get togethers or gatherings. Also, kid friendly. Only down point would be parking. When they're really busy, parking can be a bit tricky.

Stopped in on memorial day and they were super busy. Didn't comprise service at all. Waiter was awesome. He was polite, friendly, and on the ball. Food was fantastic! Fresh and big portions. Tried a strawberry and raspberry margarita and they were so good. Glad we stopped and will be back again

Love the fish tacos as always. Their tacos inspired me to duplicate the recipe at home. Will always be glad for that

First time eating here and the food was delicious. Had the Spicy Burrito and the Octopus Margarita. Cheese dip was great. Service was a little slow but they had been busy. My toddlers food came out late my thought bc it was chicken nuggets and fries and thats way different than normal Mexican food.

This is my regular spot for a night out with the girls for margaritas! Always good food and a good time. They recently changed their menu which I love, they added the avocado tacos which are my favorite as a vegetarian. Drinks and service are always good as well! Summer patio nights are the best but dining inside is also great.
