“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“i recommend this place🥰great food“

“This place is delicious. The price for a breakfast burrito is relatively cheap. The salsa is also delicious. The staff is fun if you speak Spanish (which I do). I put 4 stars because of price, food taste, and the experience I had there. Even the restroom was clean. I would go back and eat there again hands down.

The only downside is the flies that fly around. They don't land on your food but they do just like to land on the table.“

“I got potato tacos that were okay. I wouldn't buy them again. I also got their pineapple juice that had a bit of a funny taste to it, but otherwise, okay. The green sauce was good, though. I may try them again but get something else. We will see.“

The restaurant is huge, and was packed even on a Wednesday evening. Seems like happy hour is very popular here, and they have a buffet lunch as well. Gigantic portions and absolutely delicious, highly recommended!“

“All my gal has to say is, "Brick and Morty," and I know it's gonna be a good night. This is our favorite place, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The fries have this awesome seasoning. The burritos are incredible no matter what you get. The workers there are the best. Couldn't recommend this place more.“

“Just got into Pasadena and needed to grab something to eat. I saw this and gave it a shot. Note, it's cash only. They do have an ATM. I got the two crispy tacos plate. They have special options as well. The service was fast and was overall pretty happy. Different spices than I'm used to but it did the job.“

“What a fun Thursday night! Que viva Mexico!“

“Note to reader, they serve classic street style taco goodness. Enjoy!“

“Been coming to this location since 2005 and what I say is that their food is consistent, crew is attentive and atmospheric restaurant is much better since 2005. It's clean and run like a well oiled machine. So many options of good food to select from. Easy and free parking convenient to shop after at Ralph's and other businesses. If you have the App and a rewards member your purchases add up and you get $10 off quick. I come least few times since we know their food is delicious.

Vegetarian options: Checks holiday hours if you plan on stopping by yo eat.

Parking: May get busy during holidays and lunch but it's worth the wait.

Kid-friendliness: Yes kiddos welcome here. Plenty of tables and seating.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes and handicap parking available.“

“I celebrated my birthday here with a large group, about 25-30 of us. I spoke with Eddie a couple of weeks in advance, he helped me set everything up from out of state. I got 2 bottles, and we had an open tab at the bar. They DELIVERED!! To say the least. We all had the best time, music was great, bathrooms were clean, drinks were good! We ran into 3 small issues while there, and everything was sorted out quickly and correctly. Security was excellent, if I find myself visiting again on this side of town I know where I will be going. 1000% recommend if you are celebrating your birthday!“

“This place was honestly so good, the vibes were great, I came craving a good late night iced coffee and tried the horchata coffee and it was so delicious 🤤 the prices are very reasonable and overall the food was good too everything tasted fresh.“

“I've been here 3 times in the past week. Carne asada nachos are their best item on the menu. Portion is good for a Male. Just right for two females. Micheladas are really good. Employees make them slightly different from one another but still good. Highly recommend this spot. Stop playing and come down and get cha grub on. ??“

“THIS IS ACTUALLY VEGGIE GRILL!!!! I thought I was going to a new, independent, locally owned vegan restaurant, but this is actually a ghost kitchen at Veggie Grill. You are supposed to order online only, but the lady at the counter was nice enough to take my order and explain the situation to me because I was definitely irritated and confused. It does mention Veggie Grill in the description, but I just jumped straight to reviews and skipped over that. I had the mushroom taco and tejano taco. Both were yummy! The tejano taco has a kick & is messy so get a fork.“

“If you are looking for some authentic and tasty popusas in Pasadena, then look no further because this place has them. The variety of options that you can choose from is unbelievable. From the classic revuelta to fish popusas, you are bound to find one that's right for you. However, I do have a completely different opinion on their Mexican menu. I have tried their tacos and sopes numerous times and those have always lacked flavor. Not sure if it's the tortilla/dough that they use but it can definitely be better. So I just stick to their popusas. One more thing to keep in mind is that the popusas are made fresh so it can take at least 10 min for your order to be done. So call ahead to ensure that you don't wait long when paying.“

“Beautiful experience, I wouldn't get tired of witnessing it every time in my day....
Super recommended.

Kid-friendliness: Super fun for children, since most of the floats are animated and moving characters, they also enjoy the band melodies.“
