    Ceviche Bar (not self-serve)

    Not sure if this location is affiliated with the La Bufadora in El Monte that I've been to but they make a mean fried fish taco like the ones made famous in Ensenada Mexico (and I've eaten many in Ensenada). It's interesting that they give salsas in presealed bags but that is for sure the cleanest way. Just haven't seen this done with REAL salsa. Both work with the fish tacos and I'd say they are medium heat. Check out my pics.

    Not a bad place to grab some lunch for work or just for some Mexican food. Came here since my coworkers wanted to come here. It was my first time and I was told about their combo specials. I ended up getting the crispy potato tacos, a drink, and a side of fries to share. Everything was about $10 which is good price for a quick lunch these days! My potato tacos were decent and very fulfilling. Fries were piping hot and decent too. Place was pretty spacious and clean. I would give this a 4 stars based on my first experience but I won't be craving for it so much so I am not sure how often I will stop by.

    Combo menu.

    Food is delicious. Service fast and friendly. Nice safe area and very clean. They have combos on their menu now.

    Surf & turf burrito. Shrimp and asada $12
    Stephen P.

    Best burrito in a long time. They have shrimp or fish...I think that's the Ensenada vibe. But they also have surf and turf which is shrimp and asada. It's jam packed full of that, with some rice and beans. Unlike larger burritos which have lots of rice and beans. The pepper was hot, the salsa was not. It was all fresh, with the salsa was vacuum sealed. A bit of a waste of packing.

    This place has pretty good food. There are a lot of times I that I have tried other Mexican food restaurants around the area, but I always feel guilty eating them. I can say that I don't feel that way here. I placed an order on their website (not grub hub) and it was quite easy to select what I wanted, and you even have the ability to choose when you want to pick up your food. I can say that even though I scheduled my food to be picked up 2 hours later, it was freshly made, timed for my pickup. The person that helped me get my food was nice. Food The food like I mentioned did not feel real greasy, and was packed with flavor. One of the things I like most about this place is their peppers that comes with certain food that you order, they are so good. I would recommend all the food that I ordered here. Al Pastor Street Taco Fish Taco (breaded) Carne Asada Nachos Regular The tacos were huge, and was packed. They also come with two different salsas that was great with the food. The Nachos was not the ones with the cheesy cheese liquid, but was topped with lettuce beans cheese, and was really good! I'm glad I gave this place a try again, when I first came by when they just opened, I did not know what to order. I found out that this is a chain, and this particular location has plenty of seating inside. Keep in mind that they have certain specials everyday, I like to take advantage of those and give new things a try. Until next then!

    I come here often! This place never disappoints. Deliciousness in every bite! My goodness. I got the breaded shrimps and potato tacos. Spectacular! The flavors and texture Oh myyyy makes me feel so good to be alive. The people are always so friendly, and always get my order right! Love the layout here.

This place was packed and for our table of 6, we had to wait about 45 minutes. Pro tip (call ahead, you'll be happy you did). But we walked around the cute town and came back with a table waiting for us. To start, I had to try the iconic salad. My mom and her friends raved about how yummy the salad was and I have a sneaking suspicion why. That bad boy is packed to the brim with so much cheese. But yes it was totally yummy. My favorite part is they bring you a whole squirt bottle of vinaigrette dressing. Yes please! I totally understand the hype. The rest of our meal was ok. We got the fajitas which were seasoned great and the tortilla soup was nice. Drinks were totally great!

I honestly didn't even try the rice it looked really dry. Tortilla soup was flavorless. I've given this place a chance many times and each time i leave more disappointed than the last. :/
