The service was great and our food was fantastic. It's a great casual environment. It has the classic salsa bar. The portion sizes felt like they fit the price well. We definitely had leftovers.
Delicious food and great quality ingredients. They have reasonable prices and a killer taco Tuesday deal. Very clear and beautifully decorated
Amazing food and great service! My combo plate was freshly made and so so good! Can't wait to come back. Super clean too!
Good deal on taco Tuesday. It's like 3 - 3.25 for a taco and they're pretty good. I wanted to give this place a 4.5/5 but since Yelp is annoying and can't do half stars I just rounded up. Thank me later.
Extremely reasonable! Food is good and satisfying. There is a value for your dollar. This beats a drive-through fast food restaurant down. it's a walk up, place your order and ask for flatware. You get a number, you get your seat and your food is brought out to you. No other service is provided. One thing I feel is exceptionally disappointing, is that they have a gratuity line as you pay. But they don't offer any service.. after I sat outside, I had to get up, walk to the front ask for some flatware, and get my own napkins. I had already left a gratuity. Had I known that I would have to go back in and get my own things to be able to eat my meal, I would have not left a gratuity. Or I would have asked to please bring flatware and napkins with my food and then I would feel good leaving a gratuity.. the management needs to educate their employees that they should not expect to receive gratuities when they're not providing service and just doing their job. The carnitas was tender but sort of bland and a little watery, but it was good.. doesn't seem to be a lot of flavor, but it was good. I was surprised by the chicken taquitos. They are deep fried, but it seems like they are hand rolled, and NOT somethingsome thing out of freezer. I was pleasantly surprised. Again, not a whole Lotta flavor, but for the price very satisfying . Overall people were nice and the food was good for the price would definitely go back, but my expectation would be to leave a gratuity and then ask the service staff to please bring me flatware and napkins when they deliver my food. It gets for because of the value for your dollar. Flavor of the food needs work, but generally, it's good.
Good variety on menu. Friendly service. Decent pricing. Plenty of tables inside/outside. Ample parking. Been going here for 6yrs now. Not our favorite Mexican food spot, but it's our local "go-to". Hubby loves the carnitas, and I enjoy the taquitos.
I haven't been here in a while but I always think about their carne asada fries haha. They have the best ones I've tried. My favorite part is that they actually use real cheese and not nacho cheese. Fries are sooo good and the carbs asada is good compared to most places in OC. Their chips are served warm and the guacamole is delicious!! The salsa bar is my favorite. I love that it's self serve and they have everything you need. They have updated the restaurant and I love what they did with the place. It was very clean! The workers are always friendly, I have yet to have a bad experience here.
Quick counter service with nice staff. Lunch specials are yummy. We got a deluxe cheeseburger $8.59 and enchiladas combo platter for $12.99 Only ding was the chicken enchiladas were pretty dry. I would just get cheese enchiladas next time because those were pretty delicious. I will definitely be back! Thank you Cucas!
Finally some decent Mexican food near me! I was craving taquitos and if you know north OC, you'll know that there aren't a lot of good Mexican food spots here. I liked that there is a salsa bar that is well kept and everything is basically self served. I never see that it's packed here so I never have to wait long for my food which is great. The horchata can be better but it's not a huge deal. The place is clean and tidy with no sticky floors. Employees are nice and polite. I order Togo on the phone and it's always ready for me when I come to pick up.
