Everything I've tried has been delicious. I usually get their sushi and Tostada De Jaiva. Yesterday I got the carnitas tacos... oh my goodness they were hands down the BEST carnitas tacos I've EVER had. The corn tortillas are handmade and the carnitas were fresh and tender with a little crisp, AMAZING. I don't think the people of Hollister know, but they serve breakfast too. I wanna be selfish, cause I know there will be a wait once people find out, but I also want them to keep serving it cause it's so good. My husband usually gets the Huevos Rancheros, I get Chilaquiles Verdes w/ Cafe de Olla, and my kids get the pancakes that are not only beautiful, but so yummy. The chilaquiles are delicious, the tortilla chips have a good crisp in every bite. Their pancake batter is unique and definitely made in house, I wish I could get the recipe to make at home.

I called ahead to get some information on this place, as I've never tried it before, only to find that they were unable to speak over the phone, and simply responded, "lo siento, no English." It's fine. My Spanish is not the greatest... but, I managed to stop in and order by pointing at some menu items they have listed. Ultimately, it all worked out. Managed to get an order in for carne asada fries and a round of tacos too. While the tacos were nothing to write home about--the carne asada fries on the other hand, were spectacular! The portion is huge and the flavors of all the ingredients are truly amazing. I don't want to sound corny, but each bite was like a friggin' fiesta in my mouth. Almost as good as the stuff I used to get close to the border when I lived in SoCal. Close. This place is a total hole in the wall, but definitely a great local find. Great service, amazing food variety and a good bang for your buck. Looking forward to stopping and trying their other offerings soon.

I took it out and made a couple of fire ass tacos later for dinner. They give you a good amount of food and their green sauce needs to be bottled and sold. The steak was seasoned so well, I was giving up hope for Mexican taquerias that don't marinate or season their meat enough. I'm not sure what is going on, but some places are really turning down on the flavor. Staff here were super nice and the place was clean. I was really tempted to get a churro from the other vendor in this location, but I can't eat too much fried food in one sitting. I'm not a spring chicken anymore, just a hefty hen lol.

The waitress said we had to wait for a table, she said we have to clean a table for you. 10 minutes later we were put at a table in the BACK of the restaurant. we sat down and waited another 10 minutes for a waitress. I was astounded at the pricing on the menu. Everything was over 20.00. Waitress finally came back we ordered. 3 soft tacos were $20.00. My husband order, 1 Chilli relleno plate was over 25.00. The Chilli relleno was swimming in red sauce. Not very appetizing. The whole experience at this restaurant was not pleasant. The Hostess was very condescending. I guess in the future we get our food from a street vendor.

Per a Yelp check for a breakfast spot, found this place with Great reviews of huevos rancheros and chilaquiles and cafe de olla--so I knew we had to come here. It didn't disappoint! I got the Huevos Rancheros (no additional protein) abs my husband got the Chilaquiles with chicken with half red and half green sauce. We received a wrong order with asada and my husband thought oh well, we won't bother and it'll still be fine. But a little later he recognized it's a red sauce and I suspected we got someone else's order! And the server confirmed we did. She felt bad but we didn't have an issue because we were hungry. Lol My husband also ordered a short stack and he loved them. WE WILL BE BACK! EVERYTHING WAS DEEEELISH!!
