Very mediocre for the area. Bland and nothing memorable. I got the taco dorados. Dry chicken, bland refried beans and pico. Order at the counter. Awkward menu since some are in photos above the counter and other on a wall adjacent. Very quiet at 12 for lunch.

They have a $20 burrito that is huuuuge!!! You get your choice of 3 different meats. It was delicious.

The customer service was awful, the food was awful, the rice was old and dry that I nearly choked, the beans had no flavor. I am sorry but I will have to stick to La Costa as this is not even remotely real Mexican food.

Got the foot long chicken verde burrito and it was so good! The chicken wasn't overcooked and tender. The salsa is really good but the tortilla chips were a bit hard.

We ordered quesadillas which were little soggy and the cheese did not stay within the bread like other Mexican restaurants I've had experiences with. One of my friend started feeling nausea after eating their quesadilla as well.

I ordered lunch for me and my crew to be dropped off at 11:45am and the driver kept “going to the wrong address” and overall never showed up. My producer had to drive to the restaurant for them to make the food last minute. Do NOT order delivery from them.

The food is good to pretty good. People are always friendly. Some of the pricing could be adjusted. $3.40 for a Mexican coke, go to cub and almost get 2 for that and cubs not cheap

Tacos, tostadas, and frijoles were delicious. Top 20% al pastor I’ve had. Fast, friendly service; food came within 2 mins of ordering.

For those looking for a cheap meal, it’s hard to beat a loaded tostada or 2 @ $3.50/each.

Great lunch spot. Counter sevice was quick, helpful and friendly. Lunch special was 3 tacos, rice and beans for $10.95. Pollo tomate was our favorite meat, carnitas came in second. All were delicious. You can order Mexican style with cilantro and onions or American style with lettuce and cheese. Red salsa is quite hot, salsa verde is mild.Coke products, plus good selection of bottled soft drinks and a few beers. They have a dining area so you can eat in or take out. Would return.
