    A authentic, Mexican restaurant in a Latino neighborhood that exploded with their delicious meals …read more They got so popular that they remodeled and expanded to accommodate their customers The breakfast dishes are made with seasonings that enhance the enchiladas with either green or red chili with a fried egg on top including homemade refried beans, arroz.. This place has their house coffee with cinnamon. That was my granmothers secret so I thought. They have menudo on weekends. They have brunch..a wonderful enclosed patio especially designed by a relative who is also a architect. Try it, you'll love it. Prices are reasonable.

We parked across the street near an intersection with a stop sign. Our table inside had a nice view of the Placentia Water Tower, and it felt somehow relaxing to gaze at it in the distance. I ordered the pork carnitas ($18), which included pico de gallo, rice, refried beans with melted cheese, and three warm tortillas. The portion size was large, and I took a some carnitas home. While the carnitas were tender, they weren't as juicy as I hoped. They provided only three tortillas that lost their warmth quickly in parchment paper. The rice had a good texture that had the right amount of firmness. I also tried the guacamole, which had a somewhat fluffy texture with a pleasantly light and savory flavor. While not affecting my review of this restaurant, I wish they served a mole dish.

This is a generous burrito can easily be shared. The Enchilada was also good and cheesy. The Chicken Taco was and is always delicious. The Margaritas were a work of Art, and delicious, and I'm not a Margarita lover. Our waitress Laura was super nice and friendly. The Food was brought out fast. The ambiance is nice. There is a Bar in the back, and The restaurant is Family Friendly.

    We stopped by Sunday early afternoon and sat in the bar area, which turned out to be a mistake. We…read morewere basically ignored. We got chips right away and eventually a beer, and that was it. The bartender seemed far more interested in talking to people at the bar than helping us. At least there was TVs to watch waiting for some service which was nonexistent here. We were about to move to the dining area when the bartender finally came over to take our order. I asked for no onions and ordered a Bloody Mary. The food came out with onions, and the Bloody Mary never showed up at all. Kind of wondered why we even had to order and just let them bring out what they think you want or don't want. We also received some guacamole which we never ordered. WTF???!!!??? couldn't even get our order right. We were just forgotten as the bartender never came around to check anything. She just stayed at the bar area talking to a few people that she knew. If you're not going to provide service than way go to work???? This place is terribly managed, and honestly, it's not surprising that most of the other locations have closed. If you want any kind of service, don't sit in the bar area. The food itself was decent, but it doesn't matter much when they can't follow simple requests--or just don't care. This was my last visit. Good luck.

    This location has been on our list of places to try for quite some time. We had never managed to…read morecatch it during business hours and always ended up at nearby spots instead. Luckily, that finally changed and we caught them open! This is a true family-run business, and if you haven't tried it yet, you should. We ordered a 2-item combo with a cheese enchilada, shredded beef taco, rice, and beans, and it was amazing. We also got the chicken à la diabla, and I can honestly say I've never had an à la diabla sauce that good at a restaurant. Everything tasted homemade and so comforting that it felt like leaving a friend's house after a meal his mom made. The vibe was fun, the service was great, and we were lucky enough to have the son taking care of us, which made the experience even better. Thank you for an amazing meal and great conversation. We're looking forward to creating many more memories here. This is officially our go-to spot because, quite frankly, the food here is on another level.

The outside of the building is under construction (January 2026). The inside of the restaurant isn't fancy but very welcoming and lots of seating for its size. We didn't go to the back, but our waitress said there is an outdoor patio. The food was delicious and exactly what we were hoping for when searching for authentic Mexican food. Salsa was flavorful, chips fresh and crunchy, chori-queso was the MVP of our meal. We also order a build your own burrito and 2 crunchy tacos. The menu has a good amount of options and next time we will try the loaded churros! This places offers take-out and catering. The prices were very reasonable. Can't wait to go back and bring the family and/or friends! Street parking and probably hard to find parking on a busy night.
