The food was excellent, was like eating Mexican food back in Cali, no Tex-Mex.
Always good food and highly recommend the Machacado a La Mexicana. One of the few places that uses real carne specs meat.
Always Delicious

El Centinela offers a variety of unique dishes, including the popular La Reina and deluxe-style chimichangas. The supreme breakfast chimichanga is a must-try, as it is filling and delicious. The restaurant is known for its clean and comfortable atmosphere, with excellent service for both dine-in and take-out orders. The chips and salsa are also praised, with the thick chips and mild red salsa being a hit with customers.
Customers have enjoyed a range of menu items, from the delicious migas with fresh vegetables and refried beans, to the tasty breakfast tacos with options like chorizo and egg or potato, egg, and queso fresco. The fajitas and Centinela stuffed burrito have also received positive reviews. The pork chops and eggs plate, as well as the Tejano plate with an enchilada, tamale, and carne guisada, are customer favorites. Great Breakfast Tacos and a burger with real meat and good flavor have also received praise.
