The seats have some really huge gashes and the filling is sticking out. My hubby ordered a chili verde wet burrito. I'm always nervous when we order chile verde or chile rojo because it can be a hit or miss. this burrito did not disappoint. A really big size burrito. Meat meat was super tender. Yummy flavor! On the weekends the offer homemade tortillas. The chips and salsa that came out first was a great start. The chips came out warm and the salsa had a nice kick to it. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Service was a little dry but friendly.

The positive. Food was excellent. Great flavor and quality. We enjoyed our food very much…read more Ambiance was fantastic. Beautiful place. Customer service was okay. Friendly and attentive, but... The bad. Expensive and very small portions for price, but they are striving for that upscale feel. Quality over quantity which is fine, just don't expect huge portions. I was fine with my portion, others in my party were not. The reason my family will probably never return is as follows and I ate their last Monday and I'm still very upset about it and feel cheated. Waiter asked me several times about trying a new drink on menue. I declined twice as my husband and son each ordered a flight. The third time he brought it up my husband said bring her one, she likes mimosas. . Yes, I should of asked a price right then. It was a champagne drink with strawberry puree. I'm thinking $15 bucks max. It was ok. Nothing special honestly. My son ordered himself and my husband two house shots at end of meal. Waiter tried twice to get an upgrade. They declined. Long story short $40 for my 1 drink and almost $35 for 2 cheap jimador shots. Our bill for 4 was $320 before gratuity. I've never spent that on lunch, even in SD where I live. I feel they push the expensive alcohol on you and purposely do not give prices, so BEWARE! Ask prices! Last, it was a Monday and we were given a brunch menue and then also given a regular dinner menue. Thought that was odd for a non weekend and way too many selections. Overwhelming. I hope it does well, but I don't think it's the right demographic honestly and doubt it will last a year. I hope the waiters are more honest with customers about alcohol prices, because it was really great tasting food and a beautiful place

When you see a place with great reviews and inside a gas station (actually a small food court inside of a gas station), you get your hopes up. Something's did not disappoint, but a few items were a miss too. The good: menudo, taquitos and their salsas. They were out of oats and only comes with hominy, but flavors were spot on. Taquitos were crispy and flavorful. Salsas were fire. They had three and all were very good, with the dark red being spiciest. The ok: asada burrito and taco. Both were small and could have had a little more meat. Burrito was mostly beans and taco was tiny. The miss: hard shell taco. Was greasy greasy greasy! More lettuce and cheese could have masked that some, but was mostly tortilla which was drenched.

I ordered two breakfast burritos and found the food to be pretty mediocre. The potatoes inside were undercooked and still hard, which really took away from the overall dish. The service was also a bit disappointing. The older lady who took my order came across as unpleasant and not very welcoming. On a positive note, the lady cooking in the back seemed much nicer from what I could see, even just from a distance. Overall, I was hoping for a much better experience given the strong rating, but this visit didn't live up to the expectations.

The older man was very kind and attentive to everyone's orders/ needs. Unfortunately, upon arriving home we realized that our order was incorrect. We received carne asada and not al pastor. The meat was almost non existent and the fries were very undercooked. The pork plate lacked flavor and the sauce was a dark brown rather than green. The rice was good but the beans were over cooked and mushy. Overall we didn't really like what we ordered but based on all the other positive reviews, we'll give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe we just came on an off day or didn't order the right things. Hope this helps.

The restaurant is warm, cozy, and full of charm, with a beautiful country-style atmosphere that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in.

It came with a fresh green salad topped with sunflower seeds, flavorful beans, and fresh guacamole. Every part of the meal was excellent. My son loved his burrito, and everyone at our table was happy with what they ordered. We finished with the flan, which was one of the best I've had--smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. Even the coffee was served in a beautiful traditional Mexican ceramic cup, which made the experience feel even more special. You can truly feel the love and care that goes into both the food and the hospitality here. If you're driving between Orange County and Las Vegas, this restaurant is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be coming back on our next trip!
