“This place is fantastic! I had their Chicken Tortilla Soup and it had so many layers of flavor. The staff are so courteous and attentive. Love the customer service and the food is delicious. Their medium spice salsa is fresh, you can taste the hint of lime and it is so flavorful. I am bookmarking this place and bringing back friends.“

“My last visit was 7 years ago during a food tour where this was one of the stops. I’m happy to report that they are still as good as ever. Where can you get a carne asada burrito for under $13 these days and one that is so fresh tasting. I purposely ate it without the accompanying verde sauce. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, cabbage and avocados were fresh, and the flour tortilla was thin and stretchy which held together all that goodness.

We were enjoying it so much we didn’t get a chance to take a photo. Dine-in is quite small having only 2 outside tables so it’s best for takeaway. Just walk 3 blocks on Laguna Ave. toward the ocean, sit on one of the park benches, and enjoy. Good job guys. So nice to know you’re still going strong and serving up fresh, affordable options in this pricey beach town.“

Our waiter Stan was so personable and knowledgeable. The food was great. I would for sure come back. Being able to see the ocean from our table was a bonus.“
