The hospitality was outstanding! The host was very friendly, and the food was some of the best we’ve ever had.

This family restaurant is a gem in Guadalupe: friendly service, home cooking taste, the portions were just right. I had Chilaquiles with Steak and 2 eggs, my wife had Menudo and delicious home made tortillas.
If you happen to drive thru Guadalupe, stop by this Restaurant, you will have an awesome meal.“

“Fantastic, clean, hole in the wall Mexican place. Had a chicken burrito, which was just fabulous. Fantastic flavor. We also had the chicken Mole, which was very good, I was wishing for a little sour cream, but that isn't the style there. Chips and salsa were complimentary, and excellent. Didn't get a rumbling tummy after, which is always welcome. Will be back.“

“First time here and I was surprised.
The place is nice, but its empty from the inside. Its somewhat quiet, so it's calm. The waiter was polite and gave us chips and salsa. She was really patient.
I ordered a quesadilla "herradero" which is pretty big and it has a wonderful taste. I feel like it was a reasonable price.
At the end the waiter gave us peppermints. :)“

“Dora was really helpful? I had first gone to Vallarta and they didn’t want to service me for my check but I came here and Dora was really helpful and kind! I explained to her that my bank will not let me cash my money out on Saturday and Sundays and that I had to pay my bills today and she helped me set up an account with them! Gracias Dora!???“

“This place was excellent! We had lengua, carnitas, al pastor, pescada and cameron (sp?) tacos, and all were phenomenal! I am a bit of a spice weenie so it was a bit out of my comfort zone, but nothing "Mas crema, por favor" could not solve. :) My husband, who has a higher spice tolerance, absolutely loved it! I highly recommend this place. The jamaica is really good, too. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Santa Maria.“

“All I can say is I LOVE this place. From scratch, done in their own special way, and just amazingly delicious. I’ve had many things but their pork lomo wrap stuffed with papaya, cheese, walnuts and greens made me want to cry. So gooooood!“

“HORRIBLE SERVICE. Placed an order over the phone and they got upset with me because I don't speak spanish. I've been a loyal customer for YEARS but no longer. They messed up on the order and I had to pay for them to fix it. They argued with me even though I repeated the order multiple times over the phone. Shame you've lost a loyal customer especially since I really do enjoy your food. Oh freakin well. The lady at the counter was super rude and judgemental as well.“

“Homemade tortilla chips served warm with tasty salsa and stuffed quesadilla delicious!“

“omg so good, people are so nice there and there very clean❤❤❤❤ Get there shrimp cocktail super bomb🥑🍤“

“the food was delicious!...“

“First time getting breakfast burritos, they were huge. Although a little too much beans for a breakfast burrito… id get it again but without beans. My girl got the zarape and I got the ranchero with added bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes. What i thought was a little off was the bell peppers were like raw not kinda cooked/sautéed like what happens when you make a scramble. Both my girl and I kept having to add salt to our burritos because they were missing flavor, eggs could’ve used some sort of seasoning. Over all the burritos were like a 7.5/10.“
