Great location, friendly service- server Luis was so personable and welcoming- you can tell he loves his job; love the Calabacitas con Elote tacos, Soy chorizo tacos and beans with garlic cooked in water.

Vegetarian options: Love the whole pinto beans cooked with garlic and water and the Calabacitas con Elote tacos and Guacamole dip with chips.

Great food, great drinks and great staff. You won't be disappointed.

Parking: You may need to walk if you find parking in the residential area. Pay at meters during regular business hours along Solano. Free after 6pm or so

The tacos were too filled up and wet, and served on a board instead of a plate so they leaked onto our pants. Flavor was average. The waiter was a hustler; brought us chips, salsa and guac even though we didn’t order it… and then charged us for it (the chips weren’t great). Also he himself selected the 22% option on the tip screen when he laid down the machine for us to pay. The beers were good though, and the ambiance was nice. But I doubt we’ll be back.

Delicious, we ordered a plate of 10 tacos and all of them were good! We also got some micheladas those were good. And the service is always awesome :) a good place to eat with your friends and family and more if you wanna try different type of tacos at ones.

I can't speak for the regular menu, but the breakfast/brunch was really good and priced right!
Staff was friendly and service was quick

The good: the outdoor seating is nice, the chips and guacamole were delicious, and there were respectable vegetarian options.

The not so good: Our server got the order slightly wrong (though otherwise the service was great, hence 4 stars). Most disappointing was the Ensalada de la Casa: the menu listed pecans, pumpkin seeds, raisins, and pickled onions as ingredients, but the first three were missing entirely, and the onions were raw.

Good but not delicious vegan tacos.

We experienced a disappointing lunch service today (September 22nd, 2024). Our server (a lady with sunglasses) carried an air of sour attitude with her. She was aggressive when taking our orders and had very little patience (she expected us to order within 2 minutes of sitting down). Even the girl who brought our orders to the table seemed to carry the same attitude.

Rest assured that we won't be coming back to this location again. Save yourselves a miserable time and go to the one in Walnut Creek instead.

Ceviche I understand it’s cooked in lemon raw. But don’t give customers raw fish. Photos attached. I could get sick

Visited this restaurant 3 times in one week. The guacamole is by far the best I’ve ate out of any restaurant. The micheladas are so good. Highly recommended. Will be back soon! Thanks again

I came here for lunch in February of this year and ordered the Chilaqules. They were amazing. Wonderfully pleasant vibe here. Even though I do not drink alcohol, I guarantee whatever drinks you order will be superb. Chilaquiles were a great price as well. I highly recommend this restaurant for a light brunch or lunch. A+ all around!

Vegetarian options: vegetarians would love vegan tacos and tostadas for a light meal.

This is my first time visiting a friend's favorite restaurant.
The food was very good and the portions were large.
There are so many tacos, and the dipping sauce feels healthier.

I consider myself a connoisseur of quality, Mexican food, and this place satisfies my cravings!
We have our favorite waitress (Janeen), and even though all areas are enjoyable, we prefer the high tables near the bar- a good look out space.

Our ‘go-to!’
