Solid pick for late night Mexican food. Most places close early around here but these guys are still open. Food is solid and I would say better than others around. Food portion size is intense. Most plates probably serve 2 people. Value is definitely great in that aspect. I grabbed the quesabirria which the size was huge but super greasy. Not something you can really pick up but rather eat with a fork. Rice and beans have good flavor as well.

Almost vomited from the gasoline tasting salsa... turns out it had cigarettes buds in the salsa (I thought it was from roasted tomatoes). We went back and showed the cashier. He made the cooks in the back taste and they agreed it tasted horrible. I didn't want a refund, I just want to let them know so they can replace the salsa. Yet the staff had no urgency to throw away the contaminated salsa... I had to ask them to please change the salsa. We waited but after they didn't dispose of it we just left. My BF and I have not returned to eat since then.

Was once the place to go. College across the street. High school nearby. Place was pumping. Great food! Went in a while back, few customers. My carne asada burrito was dry. Only one or two workers. But what surprised most was the HUGE jump in prices for burritos. Worker said they lost a lot of customers cause of the newer prices. Too bad. It was a family favorite.

Back for more, I got my usual chicken enchiladas and tried something new. - Chicken Enchiladas | I've ordered this plenty of times in the past and for good reason; the chicken is always so tender and they never skimp out on the cheese. It's good, guys. Really, really good. - Carne Asada Nachos | Crisp but tender carne asada chunks with refried beans, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. The tortilla chips didn't hit the mark for me, but it's not a deal breaker.

Probably the most expensive place I’ve eaten in Orange County… so it dosnt matter about anything else. Sorry not doing it again.

We got this place to go, and wow did it surprise us! The food was EXCELLENT. We forgot to get a picture of the Cypress burrito but that was amazing as well. The tortillas are soft and thin which is my favorite, they add a great amount of cheese, the meat is flavorful and tender, and the shredded chicken is so juicy and comforting. The chips have a crunchy thin texture, it was addicting. This is one of our new favorite spots now!

Wow. Amazing food. We each ordered two grilled chicken tacos, lean perfectly spiced chicken, yet we couldn't finish. One is plenty for a hungry eater! Our two friends shared a chili rellano platter and didn't finish half the meal. And so so good. The service is pleasant and helpful. There are plenty of tables to dine in but there's zero atmosphere. I'd recommend using this as takeout. But go. It's delicious.

Authentic Mexican cuisine open up late. Large portions for alright prices. Cashier with mustache and short black hair friendly, i got pork tacos. I thought they had too much pico in them but otherwise very good the guac was very good. Bathroom was dirty but then again they were getting to cleaning it. Shrimp Burrito from past visit not the best. Neither am i a big fan of the fries but this was good food and great service today, thank you in JESUS name to the staff.Acts 2:38

I needed a quick breakfast while my SO was having hand surgery nearby. My gut reaction walking in was too leave....no other customers and the smell was off in there, not cleaned properly. Well the food was cooked enough, didn't make me sick...but the flavor was bland and the meat in my burrito was tough...like not fresh. I was disappointed. 60 miles from home so I wasn't going to complain or ask for compensation. My experience was not good. Restaurant was not clean either.

Every time I go to the mission viejo location, there's something wrong with the food. It's usually just made incorrectly but this time there were wooden picks in my husband's carne asada fries. He bit into it and thankfully he noticed the difference between the hard fries and the stick because he was so close to swallowing it. This is the last time I eat here and am so disappointed how the cleanliness of the food is now compromised. You can tell they don't handle their food very well considering there's sticks in the food. Don't recommended at all.

The cashier is foreverrrrrrrrr rude. He likes to prioritize cooking other customers food especially if you are Hispanic. If you ask for a manager there isn't one around. I've been coming here since 2021 and it's only getting worse by the visit! Don't bother to tip because you are only rewarding terrible customer service.

The food is good the problem is that the quality of service leaves only room for improvement. We went there just now, and I'm saddened by the awful wait times. After my order was placed, others would come and place orders. I would say it was 10 customers. All of them got their orders way before they would turn mine in only to find my Masada fries did not have the tortillas I paid for. Awful, awful, awful.
