I ❤️ this place! I just moved to the south bay and found this DELICIOUS little hole-in-the-wall. Then I learned about Taco Tuesday---omg the amazing tacos I love for less?! YES PLEASE!

As someone who has been here before throughout the years, I can only say that the food was rather disappointing. Being of Mexican descent, I felt the food missed soul, flavors were rather blend. We tried the al pastor & shredded beef, both missing flavor. In addition, the hard shell tacos were drenched in tomato sauce, making them mushy. I genuinely hope this was a one-time experience, as they used to serve amazing food!

The order ended up costing more than I thought so I had to pay like 5 dollars in quarters and the guy at the winco was extremely rude about it saying over and over “are you really going to do this to me” and he dropped a quarter told me to pick it up… just unprofessional and rude… I can understand if I was paying him 100% in pennies, but I gave him $$20 bill and like five dollars in quarters and he was just extremely rude about it and unnecessary

The food is very good and the service is great. My only complaint is that the music is way to loud, it makes it really hard to enjoy talking with your guest for lunch or dinner.

Great experience- the service was friendly and although we had to wait a little bit which was painful with kids with hanger issues, there was more than enough food in the kids meals to quiet them into submission once served. It was a very relaxed casual meal but that's the only reason I took off one star because we of the wait and while the servers were attentive, what we had hoped to be a quick lunch ended up taking 30 minutes more than we had hoped. The seafood tostada had a little too much jalapeno for my taste but I'm overly sensitive to spice. The fajita plate was so huge it lasted 3 rounds of leftovers. The kids gave thumbs up to their meals after their initial food tantrums. The ambience was fun: felt very much like the little places I've been to in Puerto Vallarta and Ensenada- with music in the background and lively colours everywhere.

Excellent restaurant! I’ve eaten here several times now, and the quality of the food has always been excellent. The staff has been friendly every time with great hospitality. My go-to place whenever I’m in Torrance. Great little Mexican restaurant!

I've never really had a problem with service and the food is always good. I asked for some extra salsa because I ordered six tacos and a burrito and I got four of those little tiny cups to go with the chips. Not even enough for one salsa per taco and the lady give me an attitude for asking for more. That was a bummer.

This is a small Mexican style chain in the South Bay/Torrance area. I've tried some of the other locations but always come back to this restaurant. The food is not outstanding but it is very good and filling. You can get your choice of meat on most items. The shredded beef taquitos (more like flautas) are pretty good. The tacos - both hard and soft shelled are good with almost any meat choice that you make. The deluxe wet burrito with chunky beef is my go to. Oh, and the staff are very friendly. Once while waiting for take out on a really hot day, they offered me ice water with refills.
