One of the best places to eat & / drink in town. Good to see a long term family business still in Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, California.
Tacos are yummy.

The food. Great. The service. Great. But the womens restroom needs much attention. The toilet was broken and it needs some serious upgrades.

What a neat little restaurant/ bar, it's right across from the golf course and just a stone's throw from Catalina horseback adventures. A great stop before or after a horse ride or a game of golf. It's a short walk from downtown Avalon and wellworth seeing the scenery along the way.

The carnitas nachos were delicious! We had a former restaurant owner with us and she even raved about them :-)

If you want a real Mexican dining and food experience, you must try this place! The staff were incredibly welcoming and provided the best hospitality. The environment was lovely. Very spacious, relaxing, and scenic. This is a hidden gem away from the tourist spots. Worth the walk to here. Thank you to the staff and cooks for serving my daughter the mojarra she has been craving ❤️

Good food and great happy hour deals. Nice spot that’s kinda tucked away behind the business of the front streets of Avalon. Great staff.

Decent stop on our e-bike tour. $2 happy hour tacos starting at 2pm but be forewarned: there's only one order taker, and the line gets LONG.

Great spot for tacos — carne asada, pollo, carnitas, & chorizo were all delicious. They were $2 each during happy hour from 2-7 PM. Their horchata rice milk and cinnamon drink is refreshing and freshly made. Margaritas are also top notch. Easily within walking distance from the beach. Supremely chill atmosphere with little birds cleaning up crumbs on the ground.

I've been to Catalina twice now and this is definitely the best restaurant we went to. We've probably tried 7 different places and this one so far has been the only actually good place. Food was delicious, the people were really nice and friendly, and the atmosphere was pretty cool, with outdoor seating among some plants and right across from a golf park.

Lovely place to stop for Mexican, and from the options, the best place for a burrito on the island. The tacos on taco Tuesday were a good deal (2 dollars) but humble little fellas and nothing to celebrate intensely. The basic margaritas were 6 bucks which were tasty. Not a bad deal. The patio is nice and open air, relaxing. The fish tacos were solid, maybe could have been slightly crispier but good flavor. Carne asada burrito was hefty and good.
