The authenticity of the food was truly noteworthy; it evoked cherished memories of home-cooked meals from my childhood and made me feel a deep sense of nostalgia. Each dish was prepared with a level of care and skill that reflected a true understanding of culinary traditions. As a result of this delightful experience, I felt compelled to share my positive impressions.

“one of my favorite places. great Mexican food“

“Traditional Mexican market experience. Love the food, the ladies that work there are super helpful. I have a sensitive stomach that acts up when I eat low quality or poorly prepared food, and not once have I felt sick after eating here!Not all of the employees speak English, but that's OK! Everyone there wants to help, and is confident to ask you questions to make sure you get what you want, even if there is a language barrier. Example of this was today my back was hurting, I went in for my breakfast and to buy some Tylenol. They got it all at the register for me, and I asked her how to say "back pain" in Spanish, to which the other lady who did not speak English came over and suggested instead of Tylenol I take Flanax. I took her suggestion and feel so much better, works better than my typical Tylenol fix, and I've never heard of Flanax before. She could have sold me the Tylenol, and that would have been fine, but she went out of her way to make a suggestion from her experience, and that shows compassion that I don't expect from a stranger.10/10, they will be seeing me most-every morning while I'm working in the area.“

“Omg where do I start I started seeing you guys post about opening in Oceanside since day 1 when you guys were seeing the place then starting to get everything together ; the mural, and then when you guys finally opened I told my husband there gonna open a Mexican restaurant in Oceanside that sells Guadalajara style food we were both so excited because my husband is from guanatos city baby!!! We finally got the chance to try the food in October of 2021; let me just tell you that the most excited I was about was to try the carne en su jugo and when I tried it I fell in love again because that is my favorite Guadalajara plate; it was so good I finished it all ; also tried the birria tacos omg those were so good too I really recommend this place; when we ate here they gave us a free jericalla and it was also so good!! I will definitely come back to this place every time I go to California it's gonna be our favorite place to eat in Oceanside. I was born in Oceanside so I was also excited to go back again to where I was born!!! You guys really have good customer service and really great food and also the lady at the front gave us some free stickers I think she's the owner but I'm not sure but we put those on my husbands truck in Alaska. Anyways I love guanatos city baby and happy 1st year anniversary!!“

“How many times in your life do you remember the food that you actually ate. I'm 63 years old and I probably remember five in my entire life that were memorable. I was an an Army recruiter in Oceanside California in the early '90s.Roberto's was across the parking lot from where our office was. . I ate there weekly for 3 years and have dreamed of going back ever since. My dream came true and I finally got to go back let me tell you it was worth flying from Florida to California. It's great, the Price is Right and even one of the guys that work there in the '90s is still there. If you're ever in Oceanside stop by, you won't be disappointed.“

“This is the home of the original Anita's. The original chips and salsa, just like the old one down by the movie theater downtown. Not as fancy as the newer Anita's on PCH, but original feel and food. And don't forget the margaritas!!“

“Good Mexican food! Clean, nice restaurant with friendly staff. Chicken soup, rice, and bee tacos are really good! Carne asada burrito isn’t what I’m used to in a burrito. Probably wouldn’t get again. The meat isn’t traditional carne asada. Rest of the food was really good and we’d get it again.“

“Conpan̈Eros, the cashiers are not rude, it depends on how you order your order, your tickets, they have someone who will give you a drag, not because they have a voice. If you know how to blar, don't put more. Ai, cameras, I know who you are.“

“Delicious food and friendly customer service!“

“Pretty restaurant on the water that overlooks the harbor.

We had a group of thirty so they asked us to come during the non-busy time and we enjoyed lunch at 3pm.

Our servers did a good job of keeping drinks full and bringing the food out quickly. We had a couple of small problems (cold food and wrong items) but they were resolved right away.

The interior is pretty and has a bunch of signs with silly sayings.“

“Great food! The workers were polite and the atmosphere was laid back.“

“Good food. Pleasant host. Plenty of space. It’s good to have a restaurant in this area. Parking, dine in or carry out. My first time I only had a burrito because it was almost time to close the kitchen. But now that I’ve been there I will definitely be going back.“

“My favorite Mexican fast food“

“It's delicious and everything but they get a little confused about the orders and they can give you something you didn't ask for, I mean we all have mistakes but if from the beginning you make it completely clear what you want you won't have any problems ?“

“Family owned and operated. Classic family recipes from central Mexico with a So Cal flare. Homemade tortilla chips, salsa and sauces! Support our local restaurants!!! You will be happy you did!!“

“Muy rica comida, nunca e salido decepcionada de esté restaurante, ademas el dueño muy atento y humilde eso aprecio demasiado siempre disfruto estar aqui“

“A refuge from the current dystopian HELLSCAPE of $18 disappointing burritos. Diebertos dont play that game; $9-12 burritos that are forearm-sized, good salsa bar, quality meats, excellent rice & beans. Mucho Gras Dieberto! Bien hecho!“

“great beach side place. Mexican treats.“

“Theresa was a wonderful host, all the staff members were very friendly and super helpful. Food was absolutely amazing! I got street tacos and my boyfriend got a surf & turf burrito! Welcoming & comfortable dining area! 10/10 I will definitely be back.“

“Great place, great service“

“Waiting in the cue for my haircut near by, I popped in and took advantage of a taco special. Opted for al pastor with a Modelo. I am completely sold on this place!! Go here.
Salsa bar is dialed, the tacos had TWO TORTILLAS and it was reasonably priced. No wait. Great staff!“

“This place was incredible! The service was toooooo great, the food even better, and the atmosphere.... the atmosphere was incredible too. Like better than the Earth's atmosphere.How can you get better than that. A trust hidden gem. I can't wait to go back and get some more food off of the menu.Great pan too.The service hit a new high for me. I felt like they were all family friends by the time we left.MmmmGood, not bad.“

“So good. I love Moe's and all the other resturants, the place is clean, there's plenty of options, and the food is great. Johnny Rockets needs a bit of cleaning but it's pretty good. Moe's southwest grill is great and fresh texmex food, tacos, burritos, wraps, and all of the food comes with free nachos and queso or guac. Reccomend tacos.“

“Very Friendly Nice customer service“
