    Very good authentic Mexican cuisine with fast and courteous service staff is always present in this famous family owned restaurant. The dishes are served hot and beans are runny with melted cheese on top. The perfectly seasoned pulled pork on enchilada and soft street tacos are welcomed with my huge appetite for Mexican food lately. The place is clean and always packed with locals and tourists. Try this quaint place that is in downtown at lovely Crescent City, California! You will love this one!

    We have been in search of dinner tonight and this is where we landed! This was authentic traditional Mexican menu. Very clean atmosphere. It's brightly decorated tastefully. Our waitperson was very cheerful and attentive. We took a togo menu to order in the future! Sorry, no pics of food, we ate it!

    Didn't care for the sauce. Beans & rice were bland Salsa was ok. Not my favorite. I guess we'll keep looking.....

    Tried both salsas, the hot is my preferred but the mild is delightful and full of flavor as well!

    Best Mexican you can find this far North! Service was excellent, atmosphere was nice and homey. I love the feel. Food was REAL! Did not feel junky afterwards, licked my plate clean! Reasonable pricing as well!

    Great place for breakfast in Crescent city! They are open for lunch and dinner, we only went there…read morefor breakfast two mornings. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and great breakfast!! Let's just say, if you are a biscuit eater this IS THE place for them! My hubby is from the south and southerns do biscuits. And each time they are off- BUT not at good Harvest , they do biscuits right! Make sure you try them. We get t an order of biscuits and gravy We also had the huevos ranchero - you can get a small or large which is nice. This was amazing and we got it both days! The veggie omelet is also very yummy! Check them out.

    Breakfast review: Food: just fine, no complaints. Eggs benny…read morewas tasty and cooked properly with homemade cheese sauce instead of hallondaise. Nice touch. Service: our server was kind and pleasant. Food arrived in a timely manner. Ambiance-average for the coast. I gave a 3 star because, while the breakfast was on par, later on in the day... not so good. We ate breakfast and headed south. Dessert review: On our return trip north at dinner time, we stopped in to get the chocolate cake as we were celebrating our 31st anniversary on 3/19. Husband went in without me and asked for chocolate cake. At first the worker began to cut "unusually small pieces" at ANY price point. My husband spoke up about how small the size. When the worker rung it up, the price was $30 for 2x , yes 2x, let me repeat that...2x pieces of cake!!!!! She had a bad attitude, she was rude, she was put out to provide good service to a paying customer. She justified $30 by saying the cake was from Cheese Cake Factory. I recognize good labor is hard to find on the coast. (I'm certain I've seen this same chocolate cake and cheese cake for sale at our local Grocery Outlet...about $30) I'm sorry for the restaurant that this is the best employee they could find. When my husband came out ... he was p.o.'ed. Then he told me the cake was a few dollars short of our breakfast price and $30 was charged to my card. I FLIPPED A GASKET AND WAS EVEN MORE P.O.'ed. We are locals and we feel SO RIPPED OFF AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF! My husband thinks he was hustled and gouged and overcharged BECAUSE HE WAS! Unfortunately, I don't think we'll return. Word to the wise, if the price isn't printed in the menu...buy at your own risk.
