My husband was craving enchiladas, so we decided to look around for an authentic Mexican restaurant. We found this place and after reading the first review and all the pictures we decided to try. The review was honest that this is definitely a hole in the wall but don't let that stop you! This is by far THE BEST Mexican food we've tried in the high desert. When we first walked in we were one of 3 couples but it gets packed with pickup orders and people eating lunch there. I ordered the carne asada poblano plate and my husband got the shrimp a la diabla and let me tell you we scraped our plates clean!!! The food was so good and flavorful I didn't even need to add salt and I love salt lol. We will definitely be coming back! This place is family owned so we're happy to support and the staff is very attentive and friendly!! I've already recommended this place to friends that live up here and some family for when their in town!

I love this place! I've tried many different dishes and they all hit so good. My favorite has to be the quesabirria tacos with consomé. The flan is a MUST! I overall like this place and highly recommend it.

Found this little place by chance since I am normally not in this area. The place was clean, service was good and the food was the best! Would have given it a 5 star, but it was hot inside, could have been a little cooler if they turned the A/C lower. Not sure if I would go to the place during the summer....maybe take out till the weather gets cooler! (sorry, couldn't get my photo to attach).

We got shrimp enchiladas and they were amazing! The tortillas were homemade and the green sauce was to die for! Best Mexican food I've ever had!

Love this place so much! It is always clean, customer service is awesome but most important of all... THE FOOD IS AMAZING! I am on a mission to try everything on their menu... but I do have favorites! Today I tried their appetizer "melted Monterey Jack cheese with chorizo and mushrooms". Finger lickin' good! Highly recommend this restaurant, could eat here every single day.

I would honestly give this place no stars but it made me select one. The food wasn't that great. The area was really sketchy. 100% would definitely not recommend.

Nice people, nice AC clean restaurant or the horchata is delicious. Table nachos and salsa fresh, ordered quesobirria tacos which lacked cheese but overall it was a nice experience. Give them a try

On a job nearby popped into this well hidden gem! First day ordered micheladas, carne asada, chile verde, chile relleno and everything we ate was amazing! So good in fact I brought a few more people back the next day! Definitely a place to eat when passing through

I found this restaurant on Yelp and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious! I had the 3 quesabirria tacos plate 10/10. I usually don't like beans but these were so good. My sister had the Ceviche Montecito. It was ceviche but with the aguachile sauce. So good! She also had regular birria tacos which were also delicious. We both had micheladas. Again, they were good. Nothing to complain about. The staff was very friendly. I recommend coming here. We will definitely be back again soon.
