    Horchata, tacos from top to bottom: carne asada, pastor, carnitas and shrimp.
    Christie C.

    Ordered 4 tacos, pastor, carne asada and carnitas. My fave were the carne and carnitas. The side of hot sauce was nice, too. Nice little kick to it!

    The ambiance is magical with a stunning mural. The staff & service was great and the food was delicious and flavorful! We always know when we go to Efren's that we will get some delicious authentic Mexican food!

    No frills. No thrills. Nothing fancy, just good old-fashioned old-school Mexican food. Not very friendly. Not really rude. No nonsense approach. Go up to the register, place your order, and wait for it to be brought out to you if you're seated at a table. We asked for specials and it was burritos. We both ordered Carne Asada burritos and they were solid. Nothing fancy. The salsas on the side and the marinated jalapeños that we asked for made it an extra memorable experience. If you like hot sauce, get the red, smoky, enchilada-looking, HOT salsa. Wow!

    First time having Efrens breakfast burritos! My husband and I both ordered the same burrito and we both loved it! Tasty and fair pricing!

    Birria combo plate. Beef was fork tender.

    My husband has lunch at Efrens at least once per week. My son and I have not tried it, so we thought why not check it out. We were pleasantly surprised. It was delicious I had the shredded chicken nachos, my son had the birria combo and hubby had the enchilada combo plate. All were well priced. Food was flavorful; my sons birria was fork tender. Staff was wonderful, helpful and attentive. My only critique would be I wish besides just shredded cheese that nacho cheese was offered and real avocado or guacamole. All in all great food and staff and we will go back.

    The Best Shrimp Cocktail! Delicious food! Great Customer Service Everytime! You can order your cocktail how you want it with or without what it comes with. Onions, cilantro, tomato, cucumber, avocado. Same for tacos. They do they best to make your meal how you like it. Like my husband only eats grilled onions! So they make them for him.
