This is the first Mexican Restaurant I dined in when I moved to Pasadena. Their breakfast and lunch specials are always superb. This is one of the historical Mexican Food places in the Oldtown Historical District.

10/10 we were in from Pittsburgh for the Rose Bowl and Carlos was incredible, his cooks and employee Matthew showed us such hospitality. Legit the best authentic Mexican food we’ve ever experienced. If you sleep on this place you’re missing out.

Enjoyed the enchilada and Guadalajara taco greatly.
We had some pretty great birria tacos (with guac, rice and beans) and chicken enchiladas -- and at a great price, especially for Old Pasadena.

What a cute little place, right in old town! The food was delicious, affordable and our waiter was so kind. I appreciate how the chef honored all my weird requests (burrito with no tortilla or rice, on top of veggies) and came up with a beautiful plate for me. I will definitely be back.
The Guadalajara Taco is still great. I have been dining there since the seventy's watching the entire area improve and evolve around Parsons.

Decent spot for lunch in old town Pasadena. Food was good and served hot. Chips and salsa were nice. Service was a bit gruff but was timely. Worth a stop if you are in the mood for Mexican grub in Old Town.

So we walked by and the AC was off...buuuuuttt, stopped in anyways! Glad we did! The service was great and food even better! If you like michiladas, they are delicious. Ask for the green one! You won't be disappointed! Within minutes, forgot it was a little warm in there and totally enjoyed our visit! Thank you and hopefully we make back!
