Bad food, don’t come.
Meat was dry, tortilla chips were bitter because the oil is old. Flavoring was off.

I've explored many Mexican restaurants in North County, but this place in the Village has truly won me over. Their Chile Mango Skinny Margaritas are not just the largest I've ever seen, but they're also bursting with flavor. Seriously, if you're a margarita lover, you need to try these.
We chose to sit outside, and when we arrived, my son was shivering from the cold. The staff went above and beyond, surprising us with a beautiful pancho to keep him warm. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and my son couldn't stop talking about how comfortable and happy he was.
Their salsa is also a standout – the best I've had in the Village. It packs a spicy punch, so be prepared with a tall glass of water. And even though fries aren't listed on the menu, they're happy to make them upon request. We ordered them with the kids' menu, and they were a hit.
The carne asada is delicious, and overall, this restaurant has quickly become our favorite in the Village. It's a true hidden gem, and I can't recommend it enough!

Horrible experience came here for lunch me and my family just for a quick stop and bite to eat since we were near Encinitas however I was very dissatisfied and completely flabbergasted and embarrassed. This restaurant is completely unprofessional unsanitary and someone should call the BBB chips and salsa was decent. I will give it that but besides that that’s it, we all wind up ordering cheese, enchiladas, and green chili pork enchilada. The pork tasted like if you went to a Mexican store and got Chicon pork by that being said, I gave back my order and got two meat and cheese, ground beef tacos however I took a bite out of it and I couldn’t make this up. The ground beef was completely pink and not cooked at all purposely made just for me extremely racial restaurant and they do not care about you or your satisfaction or your food, can’t believe I did not get sick. Completely disgusting I wouldn’t advise anyone to come here. Go eat, chipotle
This place was fantastic! It's a small, family oriented style place with amazing food.

Very good restaurant with very good food. My wife & I, from the Cincinnati Ohio area, were visiting with our Son & Family and he recommended this. Happy he did, plan to dine here again when we return.
