You step out of a strip mall in Costa Mesa and step into a little town somewhere in Mexico. You don’t even have to fly or go to the airport to lose yourself in an authentic Mexican joint full of flavors of Mexico and music and atmosphere unique to this magical country.We decided to visit this place on a Friday night after basketball practice and the place was pretty packed with a few empty tables. There is a live DJ that is blasting Mexican music very loudly and also have karaoke going on TV which the patrons get involved every 10 minutes or so from their tables.Menu is expansive. A little on the pricy side but hey you are next to Newport Beach and a mile from the water so it is to be expected. I ordered their shrimp burrito and my son ordered the #3 which is a grilled shrimp special. He devoured every bit of his plate that was accompanied by rice and beans and salad and tortilla. My burrito was the size of Newport pier. It was very full and wet. The flavour was just ok but I was a bit disappointed and had to add quite bit of salsa and habanero sauce to kick it up but managed to only eat half of it. Service is great and our waitress was very attentive to our needs.

A hair came out in my broth... and they did nothing!!! They thought I didn't want to pay for the food...and the truth is, very bad attitude on the part of the manager.

The food here is not what it use to be. Brought my family here after Sunday mass and was super disappointed in the quality of the food. My husband ordered a molcajete ranchero but it lacked flavor, lacked seasoning, and was very poorly made. And the service was bad. They had a full house and were very backed up we witnessed about 3 tables get up and leave. Unfortunately we won’t be back.

Venimos con mi familia a NewPort Beach a divertirnos un poco y disfrutar con familia... terminando en la playa mi mama tenia antojo de una mojarra frita asi que buscamos restaurantes de mariscos y encontramos este lugar estaba lleno, nos sentaron y la muchacha que era muestra mesera tomo nuestra orden que era un clamato preparado, una horchata, y una agua de piña.. Para empezar el clamato preparado cuando lo trajo estaba a mitad de vaso y le pregunte a la muchacha si eso era todo?! Y me dijo "ah no le falta mas" y se lo llevo para atras y lo trajo de volada y le dije esto es el "clamato preparado"?! Y me dijo que para ellos el clamato preparado era solo clamato con limon y el vaso escarchado. Me trajeron despues lo mismo pero en una copa y como ven en la foto estaba a la mitad ni llena la copa. Y el agua de piña de mi mama estaba bien porosa y no tenia sabor a nada entonces le dijo a la mesera eso y le dijo si queria otra cosa asi que le dijo si queria agua de jamaica y cuando llego , llego con una agua de tamarindo y le dije que mi mama habia ordenado una agua de jamaica no de tamarindo y solo me volteo los ojos y mi mama le dijo que asi estaba bien. Y la "agua de tamarindo" tampoco tenia sabor ni mucho menos sabor a tamarindo... y en la foto como pueden ver hasta se separaba ... Asi que ya no dijimos nada .... despues regresa la mesera a tomar nuestra orden y le damos nuestras ordenes y noto que ella no apunta nada ni traia una libreta ... y esperamos mucho tiempo y decidimos decirle al dueño que ya nos vamos que mejor cansele la orden y el dijo coman y les hare descuento por esperar tanto y no les cobrare las segundas bebidas .... Entonces como ya habia salido la comida decidimos quedarnos y comer ... pero nos salio horriblemente desabrida TODA la comida ... ya mejor ni nos comimos toda la comida porque estaba tan mal ni sal tenia ...lo unico que estaba rico fue la sprite mexicana de bote que me dieron... y el dueño se porto muy bien con nosotros, pero la mesera. horible servicio.. no me quedaron ganas de regresar...
