Still great after all these years. I tried their new leucadia restaurant when I came to try manna atelier which was closed for two days for a private event. This place down the street is way better and doesn't operate as a private club. I suggest you come here.

I have been coming here for more than 10 years. Food is well prepared and in good portions. Custumer-oriented and they have lots of long time customers. The chicken soup is the best..

Just spent $20 on 1 burrito. When i got the burrito it had very little sour cream, i asked politely for more sour cream and 1 was told it would cost more $$$. I proceeded to eat my dry overpriced burrito outside because they have no indoor seating. This place sucks.

Absolutely, horrible beef quality. Overly salty, hard, chewy. The worst meat quality available.

This Mexican joint has changed hands a couple times since I have been around and during the pandemic it became Jorge's. We frequent here just to pick up the house made guacamole which is blended (not thick) and perfect for pouring over anything. Yum. We have tried the tacos, burritos and soup. It's all been good. The best part is the service. Very engaging and you leave in a better mood then when you came in. Thank you Jorge's team for always making our experience so pleasant.

This is where to find the best chicken soup! The kind you crave when you need soup! Traditional Mexican dishes too.

Love this spot. Gets busy but they are quick. The chicken soup is one of the best I’ve ever had - you should get it.

I called in a pick-up order which was ready very quickly. The restaurant was clean, the gentlemen who helped me (per the receipt was Enrique) was very efficient and friendly. I ordered two carnitas burritos and a large soup. The total, pre-tip was $41.80. That burrito was NOT worth $12.90. Seemed like bland shredded pork, not the tasty carnitas I was hoping for. The tortilla was good, the size was fine, it wasn't bad but was mediocre and not worth the money. I really liked the soup, my husband didn't as much although, he enjoyed the burrito more than I did (there's no accounting for taste)....maybe this isn't all that helpful.
