My family and I have been coming here for the past 10 years! My I'll just send is now 9 years old and we have been taking him here on and off since he was a baby. My husband and I have been dating for 11 years before he proposed to me. We both been living together as boyfriend and girlfriend in Norwalk, where we always have lunch or dinner here because it's so close to home... We literally live behind this place about a few blocks down. It's our go-to restaurant when we both say," don't know what to have, what do you want?" For the past years that we've been coming here, the waitresses have always been so beautiful and very welcoming and kind. Their food changed this year( 2023)... It seems like their shrimp ceviche recipe has changed and the plates have got smaller, and they no longer put the Mexican flag toppers on the burritos to add pizzazz... I think little details like that always makes people want to come back... This year was a different experience for us because the wet burritos were still delicious but the ceviche and seafood was no longer the same... It feels as if They have changed chefs... Either that or management... All in all. We will continue to come here if the food is good... The moment services are no longer good and food no longer good. We will find another spot. Thank you for the many years and memories in this restaurant in Norwalk.

I was hoping to like this place. The food is mediocre. Mojo de ajo camaron is just grilled shrimp with peel, tail, and legs. No garlic flavor. Service is okay.

The first I went to this place the food was fabulous this second time, I don't think it was the same cook. It was ok, but the chips and salsa were the bomb.

Food is good but the mariachi music is always on 10. You can barely have a conversation.

Best Mexican restaurant I've ever went to! I'm not from the area matter a fact my family and I drive 2 hours just to eat at this place! Luckily our family lives right down the street so when we visit it's a MUST to eat here!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Keep up the amazing job Chefs!

This is or should I say was my favorite Mexican restaurant. Dined in with my daughter and it looks as though the new waitress somehow charged my card twice! Once with the tip. Once without. When I called someone answered who claimed they didn’t speak English. I have two things to say to that: 1) they seem to have spoken pretty well until I told them there was a problem and 2) shouldn’t speaking English be a prerequisite for getting a job at a restaurant in the United States bc it seems as though you can’t get a job w/o speaking Spanish anymore in California? Also, I substituted my salad with potato salad and I swear it wasn’t even 2 bites worth! What are the cooks doing, saving it for themselves?! My suggestion is pay in cash if you go here bc they’ve lost my trust, or they need to do a better job at training new waitresses.

Music is too loud, too pricey for what you get and the Marlin taco was just ok.

Came in with the family and we ordered chips and guacamole, Carne Asada fries, bistec Ranchero, chicken enchiladas, and ceviche de camaron... Nothing was good. Seriously don't waste your money. I don't mind paying for money for good food. This was a little higher, but the food was not good at all. Well the tres leches cake was actually very good.
