    Perfect for senior citizens! They close early, and are sometimes there and sometimes not! Food is usually good.

    Family owned restaurant with a great menu and a Mexican atmosphere, created by the decoration and…read moremusic. I went for lunch and dinner and the food is excellent and the portions generous. Great place to enjoy Mexican food. Friendly service and the food is prepared with care.

    I strayed from my favorite today and had the Combination B (one chile relleno, a chicken…read morequesadilla, and a beef burrito (for which they let me sub a crispy beef taco). But let me start with the blue margarita...a liquid favorite with blue curaçao. Went with the "medium" 20+ ounce but they do offer a large (60oz, just sayin'). The chili relleno wasn't crisp and didn't have any sauce but the poblano pepper was tender and the cheesy filling good. The beef taco hit the spot, even though there's no special seasoning, it's just an average taco but something I've really been wanting lately and it didn't disappoint. Just lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese in it, but tasty just the same. Our server forgot my quesadilla and what she brought back, as you can see, looked more like a large soft taco, but it worked. There was too much food so I took the quesadilla home for dinner. The shredded chicken was very flavorful and the cheese melted, but not a lot of it. My brother ordered my usual, the shrimp zacatecano and it was delicious, as always, and they don't scrimp on the shrimp! Our server was good, but not great. She was polite but did have to be reminded about things (like water) a couple of times but once you did, she got it right away. The host who seated us was very friendly and funny.

The flavors took me back to my adolescent days of surfing the beaches of North San Diego County when my days consisted of Surf, Eat Mexican Food, Rinse and repeat. Even the concrete picnic tables you sit at took me back to the my days eating at taco shops along the So Cal coastline from Santa Barbara to Imperial Beach down to Ensenada BC. Whenever I get homesick this place will make me feel like I am home again. Service is great and everything is made to order just like in Cali! My hats off to the owner I love what you are doing! How can I get a job here! They do all the food delivery services as well get the word out and check out this place for a little taste of the Southern California Coast on the Gulf Coast.

    Literally a hidden gem! I usually prefer my tacos on corn tortillas, but I gave the chicken tacos…read moreon flour tortillas a shot and it was so delicious! I love that they made the cheese crisp! The customer service from Noelle was top tier as soon my husband, daughter and I walked up to the food truck. The location was in a secluded area, outdoors (but covered, which I loved). My family and I are looking forward to going back!
