Be forewarned they are almost always packed and overflowing with customers. So be prepared to wait. They are one of the better Mexican restaurants in terms of flavor. I am a chilaquiles aficionado and they have excellent chilaquiles. One of the best menu options they have is the fajita a la Mexicana. However I never recommend ordering from them, to go. As the chilaquiles were significantly lacking in sauce and cheese in comparison to the ones served in restaurant. It was mostly just dry plain tortillas not even fried properly. Also the fajita a la Mexicana was drastically smaller in portion as well versus the one they serve as a dine in. I feel like mathematically the portions are over 1/2 smaller.

Always have an amazing time. Food and service is amazing!

I just left the restaurant because the man who seated people was very rude. I went in to let him know that we were two people who were going to eat and instead of answering, he just pointed outside, as if to say "get out, there's the line" and then made an ugly face at us. Obviously, I already knew there was a line, but I wanted to let him know because that's his job and that's what he gets paid for. I don't recommend this place unless you want to be disrespected. It doesn't cost anything to be kind. The least he could have done was tell us: "Wait a moment and we'll get to you right away."

I will never return to this place again. There are many restaurants where they cook much more delicious food in Pasadena.

This is one of my favorite spots in Pasadena. I try to stop when I am in town. Every thing I have tried has been really good. My all time favorite is the quesadilla plate.

I called to place an order & the woman that answered the phone couldn’t get the order right & she would say no you ordered this when we didn’t & then she made comments like we not fighting over this order. I am so shocked they allow ppl to work there with this type of attitude. No professionalism at all. Then I picked up the food she still wanna be there saying that I ordered what she mistakenly had said I was like no ma’am I didn’t order that, why would I order something we don’t want?! That makes no sense. But the fact that she still wanted to argue about it after she said over the phone we not gonna fight abt it. Just shows how dumb ppl can be.
