We recently relocated from Garden Grove to the Santa Ana/Fountain Valley area and have been on the…read morehunt for a Mexican restaurant to fill the void left by our beloved spot in Los Alamitos. Thanks to Restaurant Week, we stumbled upon this gem, and we are so grateful. The hospitality alone would earn five stars. But then came the food. The tacos? Absolutely exceptional. The steak was tender and flavorful in a way that reminded me of eating throughout Mexico, you could actually taste the meat. A light, gentle pickle of vegetables on top, minimal cheese, nothing heavy or greasy. These are not the American-style tacos drowning in a pound of melted cheese. These are the real thing. The beans were lovely, the rice was solid, and my passion fruit winearita drink was genuinely a treat. Restaurant Week gave us the perfect low-pressure reason to try somewhere new, and we walked out with a new favorite. We'll be back for lunch. We'll be back for dinner. And yes, Taco Tuesday, we'll absolutely be back for that.

Honestly, I have no idea how this restaurant has nearly 5 stars…read more We arrived around 6 PM with a party of 6 adults and 3 toddlers, and we didn't receive our food until almost 8 PM. To make matters worse, one of our meals was completely forgotten. The service was extremely slow throughout the entire visit. Every time we needed something, whether it was a refill, an update, or assistance, the wait felt excessive. The restaurant may have potential because the food itself was flavorful, but it seemed like they were either understaffed or unprepared for the number of customers they had. Another disappointment was the drink selection. We were told they don't have a liquor license, so hard alcohol isn't available. Their sodas were canned, and when we asked for juice for the kids, they told us they were completely out. As for the atmosphere, the restaurant is on the smaller side and felt more like a converted house than a traditional restaurant, complete with a fireplace and television in the dining area. The food had good flavor, which is the only reason I'm giving more than one star. Unfortunately, the long wait times, missing meal, lack of drink options, and poor service made the overall experience disappointing.

But the tacos here really shine - fresh, and flavorful and unique. Can't wait to come back!

Great vibe and a really nice patio, but the food and service were a bit hit or miss for us…read more Hubs and I split two dishes: the queso fundido and shrimp ceviche. The queso fundido sounded promising, but there was very little chorizo, and the homemade tortillas were just okay. The shrimp ceviche had whole medium-sized shrimp, which made it a little awkward to eat, and it was too sweet for my taste with the mango. It was also pretty watery, though it was made without cucumber for me, so maybe that changed the balance. Our server, Ricky, was fair. Not bad, but not especially attentive either. A party of six was seated after we ordered and somehow received their food before we did. My margarita also came out wrong, which didn't help the experience. The patio and overall atmosphere are definitely the highlight. Would I go back? Jury's still out. I wouldn't reorder these dishes, but I might give the place another shot for the vibe and try something different.

Meanwhile, 3 nearby tables that were seated way after us received their food. This seems to be a consistent problem here based on other reviews so I do hope that they reorganize the kitchen better. As far as service, our waitress was nice but we didn't get checked on much in the 45+ minutes it took for our food to arrive. Had she checked in with us, it would've given us the opportunity to ask her about our food and maybe receive it sooner. However, the other staff members who checked us in, seated us, filled our drinks, bartender, etc. - they were great. We ordered their molcajete, quesabirria, asada taco salad, guacamole, chips and salsa, and elote. Everything was delicious. Only 2 complaints was that 1) they charge for chips and salsa and 2) they charged me for extra dressing without letting me know it was an extra charge and I didn't even get the extra dressing. Overall, I can see why the restaurant is popular and I would probably come back.

It is next to a gas station. It looks like a pretty popular place during the lunch hour. It's a smaller place inside, but they do have an outdoor patio. We were able to find a small table, not too far from the front counter. Ordering at the front was easy. The staff was friendly and quick. We could see the cook grilling up the meats as we placed our order. There were at least five different salsas to choose from as well as cucumbers and a chili oil at the self-serve salsa bar. I noticed a customer in front of us ordered a kids plate which included two street tacos and rice and beans. That's what I ended up ordering with Carne Asada and chorizo. There were four or five proteins to choose from for the kids plate. I loved the grilled meats with the char flavor. It was delicious! Everything was well seasoned. I wish I would've ordered a third or maybe even a fourth taco because it was that good! I will definitely come back many times and it's going to be on our lunch rotation for sure.

I ordered the BK breakfast burrito through Postmates since I was at work and really feeling a…read morebreakfast burrito. So I tried this out. I'm glad I did. The burrito was solid sized, I was definitely full after eating it. Great seasoned potato wedges inside, tasty egg, and plenty of bacon and sausage. Only thing with the bacon and sausage was that the bacon was actually bacon bits. I'm pretty sure they are pre bagged bacon bits, judging by the extreme salty taste...they overpowered the sausage inside so all I was really getting was bacon bits. There was supposed to be chipotle mayo inside as well, but I don't think mine had it. Or it was also overpowered by the bacon bits. Burrito was grilled on both sides and wrapped up nicely. By the time I got it, it was still super hot. The green and red salsas are also delicious.

The burritos are packed next to grilled vegetables which made the tortilla soggy (recommendation: separate the grilled vegetables from the burrito).

Glad we tried it.
