Always so yummy and tastes homemade

We were having a last-minute birthday party for a 94 year-old man and we were thinking about a taco bar and then I realized that I had gone to this restaurant many times cause I live in San Clemente and it was a great experience. The minute I called set up to get two family size Platters which served about 30 people. Everyone at the party there was about 22 people, and they thought it was fabulous. They were generous. The food was delicious and everyone was ecstatic and wanted to know what restaurant did the catering I will definitely recommend this place the other to either to dying out or to even have a nice party. They don’t deliver, but it was OK and easy to pick up and then lay out the platters for everyone to enjoy two thumbs up five star rating thank you OLD DUDE

Wonderful food with great portion. For Asians, it may take 2 persons to finish one. The people there are friendly and they kept feeding you with free nachos.

I was expecting better for a few reasons. One, I named my dog Avila! And she's a lab! And they have a statue of a lab outside! It's a Mexican joint in SoCal!! But overall it was mid-level cuisine. Maybe other locations are better but I'd skip the San Clemente one.

First time! Loved it! Really good size serving. (I always am looking for low carb meals. Soup was fabulous, I just didn't eat the rice)

My car was in the parade, I have a 194 Malibu, here is a picture with my dogs.
For the parade, my wife got a front row spot for the parade along with chips n salsa and margaritas. Winning right there.

This is hands down our favorite Mexican restaurant! The chili relleno is superb! You can choose Fresca beans (whole without lard) instead of the usual refried beans. Their service is always great and your food comes quickly! Their chips are warm, thin and crispy (perfection!) even though their salsa is a wee bit spicy for my taste, (but I forgive them.)
And, if you are a margarita lover, this is your place! The blended, fresh mango margarita is over the moon delicious!
Relax in their back patio (with your dog if you’d like) and enjoy the Spanish Village by the Sea as you dine.

YUMMERRRRRRSS!!!!!!!!!!

One of our favorite restaurants. We've been going since the 1970's in Long Beach. Also been to Mission Viejo. Food is great, good service, and nice people.
