Glad to know it's still going strong. Used to frequent 301 when a student at CSUF in early 1970's. Congratulations.

This place is a blast from the past and locals live it. I have been here at least twenty times in the last couple of years and enjoy the low prices, good food and the very friendly & helpful service. The food is old school SoCal Mexican food at great prices and can be hit or miss depending on the dish. Chicken in the tacos isn't great but carnitas and asada are good. Try the combos with Enchilada, tamale, Chile relleno or taquitos. Decor is the same as it was in the 60's and is like something from a Tarantino movie. It looks like there should be some bikers hanging out in the back and you should be able to smoke inside (you can't, and there aren't). The taquitos are handmade and they give you chips, salsa (very spicy), guacamole and pickled carrots when you sit down. Beers are cheap and the jukebox rocks. You should definitely try it out.

My wife and I have been coming here for over 40 years! The food is outstanding and authentic. It’s a bit of a hole in the wall spot and as such offers no real ambience or atmosphere, but if you’re “in the know” you know this is the place to go for authentic delicious Mexican food

Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessible parking nearby and a ramp leading into the front door. There are no wheelchair accessible restrooms.

A hidden long time standing og home cooked with love. No changes since as far back as i can remember from early 90s decor, cd jukebox that sometimes eats your money to the dusty gumball machine that’s doesn’t work. Or could the dim lights or the restroom with a door not easily opening. Gotta have love the the originals and real authentic salsa, chips carrots and can’t go wrong with enchiladas, hard tacos or their known chile calorado burrito ??

this was some of the most delicious food I've ever had. Definitely going to be my place when in Placentia. I highly recommend that you give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Food was ok. As far as Mexican food, it was mediocre. Wouldn't recommend as far as actual authentic Mexican food.
