I have eaten here literally 20 times on DoorDash. I have never gotten sick as I’m a celiac. I order hard shell tacos, wagyu beef or chicken. I also have the queso and tortilla chips. My understanding is the only thing that has gluten are the quesadillas and maybe anything else that uses a flour tortilla. I have confirmed with the staff the queso is gluten free but I’ve primarily gone off of previous reviews on findmegf app and so far it’s worked well for me. I’ve also had the nachos. Also the food is very much Mexican Californian fusion, so don’t expect full authentic. I think of it more like elevated Taco Bell, which, embarrassingly, I am obsessed with.

Warm and welcoming, even to my God Dog! Lovely people, impeccable service, great TV’s and menu selection. Wish they had another Chardonnay option but that wouldn’t keep me from coming back!

The decor is nondescript, but the food is quite good, and certainly better than the various other more atmospheric Mexican restaurants nearby. Great salsa to start, delicious cheese enchiladas with mole sauce, and terrific service by our always conscientious server Michael. He makes it a pleasant experience to eat there every time.

Went out for a late lunch with my fam, they still had the brunch menu going which was great! Ordered the tamale hash with eggs and it was delish!🤤

Everyone was very nice. I got the carnitas to go, I would suggest fresher pork, and if fresher a little more than the small portion. The flour tortillas were hard, even after I warmed them. After work I ordered and really just wanted a good meal.

Love their carne asada. Quinton makes the best drinks! Chips and salsa are so good too!

Was really good right up to the point I was time I was served the allergen I explicitly told them was, in fact, an allergen and not a preference. And they just said "oh sorry" and walked away.

The food was good even if it made me horribly sick for over a week now

Rude and abrasive. Food has deteriorated over the past couple of decades. So sad to see the decline

Michael was a server par excellence! Ask for him to ensure you have a terrific dining experience. Always enjoy our mea and ambience. Go there!
