Food was excellent. The flavors were very good. Everyone loved what they got. The tamarind ribs were heavenly, so good fell right off the bone. The street tacos were great with generous fillings.

Absolutely delicious. I had the Tofu Torta - it was really delicious and the service was excellent. Huge portions!

I’ll come here again for sure next time I visit golden gate park.

Finally, an amazing Mexican-inspired spot in the Richmond! This place delivers on every front. The burritos are absolute fire, and the chicken molé is on another level – the meat is so tender it falls off the bone, and the molé sauce is out of this world. Even the chips and salsa are a next-level experience. Like really they don’t make salsa like this anywhere in the city. The tacos are so reasonably priced and packed with the most flavorful, juicy meats. The chef clearly knows his stuff. It’s a true gastronomic experience. Can’t wait to try the margaritas next! Oh and the flan is homemade! They have TVs to watch any sports game too.

Vegetarian options: Tofu and veggie substitutes

Kid-friendliness: They even serve hamburgers and fried if your kid doesn’t want the other stuff.

Great food and flavor, very good portions. I usually have portion anxiety and even though I was hungry, one al pastor super burrito was big enough that I saved half for leftovers.

Crispy chips, and the orange colored salsa is really tasty.

Amazing food. The chips with the complimentary chips and salsa are uniquely thick I couldn’t stop eating them. The burrito was delicious too. The staff is welcoming as well. Not to mention the great price

very good food, a little slow service but that was because they were short staffed and a lot of mobile orders were coming in. The ambiance was very nice and the food was so hot and fresh it was amazing. both the sauces for the nachos were great.

I ordered the mole and it was good. A little surprised with the bone and ligament that I pulled out of my mouth but I know that more authentic/ traditional places tend to use dark meet or whole chicken when making their mole.

The presentation was pretty appealing too. Well above average there. I would have taken a picture but I dug in pretty quick. The salsa was really good (green and orange) and it's yummy. The chips came out hot, not just warm.

Service was a little slow considering how it wasn't too busy for 2 servers BUT they were moving around the whole time so busy enough, I guess.

Definitely recommend this restaurant. From the reviews, what you get will likely be consistent.

Excellent price and quality! I got a loaded chicken taco, a basket of plantains with crema and complimentary chips and salsa for less than 10 bucks (not including the tip). The server was generous with water and was proactive about refilling my glass. There's also a men's and women's restroom. I strongly recommend this restaurant!
