Due to the superb quality of the food and the outstanding service this has quickly become my wife and I's favorite spot to eat. We will probably be returning weekly and will be regular customers. The young man who does the serving is very attentive and more polite than anyone else I've ever seen in a restaurant. They always greet you when you walk in and say goodbye when you leave. All around excellent.

Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Food was not hot but delicious. Service was great. I believe it is under new ownership. One thing that would def help bring more customers in is a facelift for the exterior of the restaurant- it just doesn't advertise that it is a restaurant. Another suggestion is to do a remodel of the interior- the booths have lived past their years - you can literally feel the wood frame which makes it impossible to lean back! Def not comfortable. Deliver flyers to local neighborhood offering a discount on the bill - this may bring in new customers which if they have a good experience- they will return! Wish you the best.

Best tortas in Lake County. Overall all the food we have ordered has been delicious. You will not be disappointed! Did i mention the heavenly margaritas and the lively music. The new owners and staff are very friendly and attentive. Shoutout to Haven for being a great waitress and taken care of us!

Got carry out Pastor torta and 3 Shrimp tacos Mexican style (onions & cilantro) with avocado slices added. Both were really good! The shrimp tacos were loaded with shrimp and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. Not overcook and had a snappy loathsomeness served with plenty of lime wedges and green hot sauce (most likely jalapeno - fresh green pepper flavor in the front, spicy at the shallow). Al Pastor torta was loaded with pork which was tender and crispy at the same time on a grilled bolillo roll. Garnishes were crema, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro served with a spicy red sauce (maybe ajillo chili?). Food was just ready (so hot). People were attentive.
Stopped in & has a 3 very good taco’s, it seems to be the 3rd owner in the past 1.5 years & next time I’ll certainly try an authentic Mexican dish..

Had such a a great experience here. The waiter was so sweet and attentive. Was very accommodating for our vegan needs. Food was delicious. I got a veggie taco dinner and hubs got a bean burrito. Neither were on the menu but were created for us. The strawberry margarita was very yummy.Vegetarian options: Beans were vegan as well as bean burrito and veggie tacosDietary restrictions: Vegan friendly!!!

I ordered on their website and payed through their app. When I arrived to pickup up my order, I was informed that my payment went to the old owners accounts and that they would not make my order unless I payed them again. I don’t feel that my order would have been worth $128. I believe that the restaurant should have honored my order and retrieved the money from the old owner. I do feel like this was just another scam to get more money from an unsuspecting patron. Needless to say I will be disputing the transaction with my bank and never returning to the restaurant again. Customer service is a joke nowadays especially when you’re told that they received the order but want more money for mediocre at best food!
