Great food, a bit of a wait, but worth it. Parking is minimal

No frills. No BS. Just a fat, foil-wrapped monster that hits like a gut punch in the best way.

The Asada Super Burrito is smoky, salty, messy, and perfect. Meat’s got char. Salsa’s got bite. Nothing fancy, but it doesn’t need to be.

Late nights, loud kitchen, plastic seats, and one of the best damn burrito I’ve ever had.

You don’t come here to be impressed. You come to feel alive.

Great Mexican food! Pork tamales were good.
Pork and bean burritos, Sope's, tacos and enchiladas, it all taste great here. Indoor and outdoor seating and eating! Best MEX in OC.

On multiple occasions, I was recommended to visit this establishment, and I finally took the plunge. I visited for breakfast on a Tuesday, and the place was quite lively.

I ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce and carne asada. The green sauce was so tasty, I couldn't stop eating!

I will definitely be coming back.

Delicious! Such a great place tucked away in a quiet street. Plenty of choices on the menu at a great place. I opted for a Platos with 2 options 1 being a burrito (pork) and 2 chicken taquitos. Delicious food and the meat was so well cooked fall apart in your mouth kind of meat. Overall a great experience and the flan is excellent. A must do if you’re in the area

A friend took us here (it was a bit of a drive from where I live) and I was genuinely impressed. Everything we all ordered had so much flavor and even the salsa was good. Friendly staff but it's a real small place so time you visit when to get there or get there when they open.
