Amazing customer service, recommendations, and food, oh my god, finally a great spot, super picky with Mexican food as my mother was an amazing cook, and am rarely satisfied or hardly impressed with the Mexican food in San Francisco, 5 stars on the bistec ranchera plate, WOW

Small restaurant in a shopping center. Expect $30-$35 per person . Most entrees are $20-$30.
Had terriffic fried artichokes and sope. The artichokes in the enchilladas was something different to try BUT some of the outter leaves were fibrous, so it was not the best form to eat with a fork and knife.
No liquor licrnse, so a margarits or beer with dinner is not an option.
Good for lunch or quick bite.
Muy sabrosa!

This was an absolute disappointment. My family and I stopped by mainly because of all the good reviews. We ordered chili verde and 2 super burritos. The waitress wasn't very pleasant, she was monotone the whole entire visit, like she didnt want to be there herself. I just shrugged it off, we ordered. The burritos came out and they were terribly wrapped, first bite all the contents fell out the other side. The meat inside had no flavor. The chili verde was sweet. I have never......in my whole entire life tasted a chili verde that was sweet. Now I know tomatillos get sweet as they're overriped(toss them out!!!), which is NOT what authentic chili verde tastes like. Tomatillos have a tart and citrus profile, which is what chili verde is supposed to be. Tangy and spicy. I felt like they opened up a can of Las Palmas and put sugar into it. It was a huge disappointment, no one was satisfied with their food. I took 3 bites of my dish, let my husband try it, and sent it back. Then they tried to charge me for that. The beans had no flavor, and the rice was okay. The only positive thing I can say is, hurray to homemade corn tortillas.
Maybe it was an off day, or this is this the only spot locals have to go to, so they assume its good.
Its not.

The plates of food came looking like a total mess. The food we had was substandard at best. Never again

Good flavor and good portion size for the combination plate. I ordered easy cheese and my only gripe was it was full of cheese. I would come back and eat inside because it was clean and the people were friendly.

Daddy Alfonso’s: Where to start? Firstly, the atmosphere, food and service were superb, excellent, phenomenal. I wept from pure euphoria the nanosecond i stepped into this establishment. The food tasted of Jesus Christs bread and wine. The food flirted with my taste buds. The instant my eye caught the fibers of the tables and my tush connected with the surface of the chairs, I fainted on the spot. My dopamine levels were so off the charts from the experience that I was rushed to the ER, and due to this I am physically incapable of breathing and had my heart replaced by a machine. It was a worthy experience.

Came in for a late late lunch and ordered the Chile Verde and carne asada burrito and the calamari appetizer. Food was excellent and service was great. Clean restaurant and I'd recommend it. I'd be going back when I'm in the area.

One of the best moles I've ever had, the super burrito was huge, and the chips tasted really fresh. Definitely plan on coming back the next time I come down here.
