    Coctel de camaron

    Food was delicious and service was good. They did not hold back in filling the plate. No complaints.

    Huevos a la Mexicana
    Dulse Natalie M.

    I've been here before, food is good. I got the VAMPIRE tacos. Yes you read that correct Vampire tacos, which have cheese, the meat of choice, guacamole, cilantro and onions. See when they said cheese I expected the cheese they use on a quesadilla, stringy. But to my surprise it was a hamburger krafts white cheese! I don't know if they ran out or it's really made with that cheese but that specific cheese made the tacos a bit salty. The tacos were good but every time I bit into it and it had cheese it was salty. It's a good idea but maybe a different cheese would be better than a sandwich cheese. The tacos are small and priced at $2 each. 5/10 My mom tried huevos a la Mexicana and she said they were good and spicy. 8/10 This place isn't that clean. At first glance everything seems to be clean but as you sit there waiting to be served you start noticing that it's not so clean. Cleanliness 3/10 Service 5/10 Food taste 6/10 Price 8/10 Location 8/10 (inside a swap meet Aka flea market) Over all 5.6/10

    The fountain drink machine that she could have served my son from

    (Long detailed review) I had the worst experience today at this restaurant! I went to have lunch with my kids the lady who sat us seemed nice at first but as our lunch continued i noticed a few things that were kind of odd and dont know if it's me over reacting or if we were treated differently by this one server. So first off she asked what we would like to drink we order 2 waters and a sprite . Nothing was unusual until she brought us 2 warm bottled waters and a can of Sprite . No big deal, right ? Well, i was confused at first because everyone in the restaurant had Styrofoam cups with drinks in them . So i asked her for cups with ice she brings them, but what i want to understand is why she did not give us water from the fountain drink machine or soda from the machine . I saw a man come to the register with a cup asking for water, and she filled it up with the cold water, and he didn't pay he said, "Thank you to her, and leave ... so i thought it was odd that she gave him free water and us warm bottled water and charged us for it and not that guy... when we were dining in there and are paying customers? So i said forget it not a big deal until i saw her bring other customers their soda with a cup and ice in it for their bottled soda ! Like what? Am i overreacting for how she treated us ? I mean, i paid my bill, but after noticing those things and how she made us feel, i did not leave a tip at all and will not be returning. (Pictures are of the water she served the guy from the water machine they have sitting next to the aguas frescas) (another pic of what we were served) and another pic of the soda fountain.

    La verdad llevo 2 años trabajando en el Swapmeet y siempre que ordeno enchiladas me las dan con casi nada de pollo , es la pura tortilla casi y sin salsa. Que coraje! Y el pollo que le ponen trae huesos . Que horror la verdad.

    Restaurant in the food court area. They have a good sized menu, but I would definitely recommend the shrimp cocktail since that is what I had. All food seemed good that everyone else had in my group.

    I was a little hesitant about eating here because I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food. I…read morefeel like not many places make it the way it should be, and I often end up disappointed. But this place was the complete opposite. The food was excellent. It did have a slightly different twist from what I personally consider traditional, but I absolutely loved it! We ordered tostadas with salsa, shrimp aguachile, chile relleno, and chicken mole. Everything tasted freshly made. The tortillas were incredibly good, the tostadas had amazing flavor, and the salsa was phenomenal with the perfect medium spice level for me since I don't eat very spicy food. It also had a delicious garlic flavor. For drinks, we ordered a michelada that honestly surprised us because it was exactly how we like it, and a Maya-Tai that had a delicious smoky flavor. The only reason I'm not giving a perfect score is because I would have liked the food to be served hotter. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't really hot either. Our server, Justine, wasn't rude at all, but she did come across a little cold and very straight to the point, almost like she didn't really want to be there, and it showed. Completely different from our host, Maddy, who was absolutely lovely. We had great conversation with her and she gave us amazing recommendations!

My family and I have been coming here for years to celebrate birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and many other special occasions, and every single visit has been outstanding. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and high quality. You can genuinely taste the difference in the ingredients. Everything we've ordered has been delicious, and the portions are generous. The drinks are just as impressive. They make excellent cocktails, and unlike many restaurants, they don't water them down or skimp on the alcohol. You definitely get what you pay for. One of the biggest reasons we continue coming back is the atmosphere. The restaurant has an amazing energy, and the live mariachi music on weekends and special holidays creates an authentic, festive experience that's perfect for celebrating with family and friends. We were just here again yesterday for my daughter's birthday, and it reminded me why this place is our go-to restaurant. The service was exceptional from the moment we walked in. A special thank you to Hugo, the manager. He is truly one of the best managers I've ever met. He treats every guest like family, checks in throughout your meal, and genuinely cares that you have a great experience. It's rare to find that level of hospitality these days. If you visit, ask for Hugo--he'll make sure you're well taken care of. The entire staff deserves recognition as well. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and works together to make every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, outstanding drinks, incredible service, a lively atmosphere, and reasonable prices, I can't recommend this place enough. Whether it's a date night, family dinner, or a special celebration, this restaurant delivers every single time. Without a doubt, it's one of the best Mexican restaurants in Southern California, and we'll continue coming back for many years to come.

    Cool spot with some great margaritas and cocktails!…read more Love this little Mexican restaurant located on the bottom floor of the Packing House. Came in for a little date night on a Saturday evening. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating, always quick to refill drinks or clear empty plates. We started off with some delicious and spicy oysters which were topped with a shrimp! We also had to try the Chori-brussels which are flash fried Brussels sprouts with chorizo, balsamic reduction, and Oaxacan cheese. For drinks we got a Santo Dia, a whiskey based cocktail with watermelon, lime, and fizz served over ice. We also ordered the Spicy margarita which had watermelon habanero, lime, and hibiscus flavors. They were both delicious and refreshing, the spicy marg had a good kick to it. For dinner we got a caesar salad, the ribeye plate, and the Urbana burger. We both loved the dressing on the caesar, it's made in house and it shows. The ribeye was cooked perfectly with a delicious herb butter on top, a really good steak sauce on the side, and thick cut fries. The ribeye wasn't the highest quality but it tasted good, the fries were perfect. My fiancé got the burger which had chorizo, melted queso Oaxaca, and an egg on top. Not gonna lie it was absolutely delish! I want to come back just for the burger. All in all we had a great time and I would definitely come back for some other menu items, especially to try more of their margs and specialty cocktails. Thanks Urbana!
