Wait very long before can order. Once order it was ok. The server is very nice and the food good. The only things bother me, the food is getting smaller size and the prize went up since we ate there frequently.

Love there chorizo and birria. They have a lunch bowl that is packed full of goodness -only on weekdays :(
Staff is great too. Lots of food for reasonable price. Favorite Mexican restaurant in Orange county.

Sometimes the music is a little loud.
