IN THE CHIPS: Kicking things off, the Chips and Salsa are now $3.85 for an order, but they were worth the money - light and airy, and the salsa just barely had a hint of heat to it. Just perfect. (5/5) THE BEANS.. Perusing the menu, whatever plate you order, you can specify the kind of beans you want (black beans, pinto beans, refried beans). I chose the black beans, but specified "no cheese" on them in a semi-futile attempt to stay on the healthy side. =) SEAFOOD TACOS I decided on the Seafood Taco Platter, where you get one shrimp taco and a fish taco along with a big side of beans and lots of rice. Each taco comes with a double layer of corn tortillas with grilled shrimp, or fish topped by shredded cabbage drizzled with a lime aioli. Instead of deep fried, the shrimp and fish on each taco were grilled to perfection, instead of deep fried. The fish filet was diced and stir-fried with a wonderful aroma. Instead of making a mess, I decided just to eat my taco by slicing and dicing it from the plate. Super good! (5/5) One of my dining partners had the mole here a year ago and loved it, so now that he was back in town, he made this place a prime objective for his visit again to the Bay! Yeah.. I'd tend to agree.. Worth coming back.

    What's not to love? Homemade, authentic Mexican food that you can order to go and take straight to…read morethe beach. It's basically the perfect summer meal. The staff is always incredibly friendly, the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating, and the food is consistently amazing. The tortillas are made in house, the salsas are the perfect finishing touch, and I genuinely haven't had a single thing on the menu that I didn't enjoy. The tamales are AMAZING. The fish tacos are perfect. And the beans? Chef's kiss. Honestly, even the sides deserve their own review. You can taste the time, care, and effort that goes into making everything from scratch, and the prices absolutely reflect the quality while still feeling very fair. This has become one of those places you don't just try once. You go back often. And we definitely do!

    You enter and order at a kiosk. They offer a variety of aguas frescas, Mexican dishes, tamales, and…read moredesserts. They also have a full bar with some countertop seating and a small patio. The meats on the tacos were tender and well seasoned. My favorite were the carnitas for their slight crisp. The salsas are spicy but have good flavor. I also love that they come with pickled veggies and radishes! Tamales have a good masa to filling ratio and aren't dry. I was surprised when I ordered the rajas con queso (green pepper with cheese) tamal and it had some red sauce inside. The chilaquiles were a solid breakfast choice too. I wish there was more service/interaction with the client. You pick up your food at the food counter and after you're done you buss your own plates. Parking is limited in their parking lot but there's plenty of street parking around the corner.
