It's sad that the atmosphere is so important. This is a no frills sort of place. The bathrooms are super clean ( with really pretty tile) the kitchen is spotless, and the food is spot on. I had the mole plate, my husband had a burrito, and we shared the fried fish taco. All were delicious. The mole especially was very good. Full of flavor and not sweet! Go for the food and nice people!Vegetarian options: I saw a few veggie options and there was a vegan flan.Kid-friendliness: No frills place. They have kids menus and the people there were very welcoming to those who had kids with them.

Worth the drive from Dublin! Absolutely the best. Now that I live in Palm Beach FL I order from this restaurant every time I'm in CA. Last visit was the end of September & I'll be back in December. Can't wait!

I've been home sick with a cold and ordered by door dash their albondigas and pozoli soup. Absolutely delicious!!! Very flavorful and wow, so generous with the yummy meatballs in the albondigas and the chicken in the pozoli. Crazy good! I've ordered other food from here too, all quality goodness. I definitely recommend this place, Like homemade food and reasonable prices.

I was in the fruitvale district yesterday for work and usually this district is known for some pretty good Mexican food. That was not the case yesterday for my experience. I am also Latin so I know what the dishes I ordered should taste like. I ordered: Posole - very flavorful and would order again because it was similar to other posole I have had. Caldo de Res - extremely bland unfortunately. Broth had no flavor whatsoever. I had to put a lot of salsa in the soup to give it flavor. The vegetables were hard and not cooked all the way through.. Hard pass for me. Coconut flan - star of the show in my opinion. The service was excellent. The flan was excellent. Unfortunately the authentic Mexican food was a miss for me. Truthfully the beef didn't taste right to me. It almost had a perfume kind of taste to it. I didnt eat the rest of it. For an over $50 order I expected more.

Had albondigas soup which I hadn't had in ages. They tasted as I remember!! Deliscious.Delicious. my friend had the chile relleno. Good too. The inside of the place is OK. Nothing fancy. They serve beer. Good service.

I really love eating at this restaurant. Every time I'm able travel from LA to Oakland I always make a stop here. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The enchiladas with rice and black beans here are the best in CA in my opinion. Hope to come back again soon.

Caldo de res was delicious as well as the torta de carne. Good and friendly service. The prices were good as well

We went here on the first day of our vacation. Woops. Our food tasted like cleaning solution. Took a few bites before we could pinpoint what was wrong. We spent the next several hours vomiting and considering a trip to the emergency room. Stomach's weren't right for the rest of the trip. Hard pass.
