This little place is a favorite! Always like coming home. Mama cooks right there in front of you and all is homemade. I had the Caldo de Rez which is available on weekends. Hubby had huevos con chorizo, his favorite. Elizabeth is owner with her mom and they serve you like you are family! It's a hole in the wall, but the food is great. Be aware it can be hot if it's a hot day. Not sure if the air works. It was overcast today and the fans were on so it wasn't bad, but on a hot day be prepared. We will be back! read more

The food is fresh, well presented, tasty, and perfectly prepared for max taste. I ordered enchiladas Rojas with sunny side over eggs. They hit the nail on the head with me. It was what I have been chasing for sometime now. The service was warm and professional . The dinning area is a bit dated but, very very clean and orderly. The menus and tables are all super clean, no stickiness at all. The bathrooms are clean and well attended. They have $1.00 tacos every Tuesday. This is going to be my go to when I want to eat out for breakfast. PS. The Coffee was very good. read more

We both had the mexicana breakfast plate that comes with rice and beans. They also hand make their tortillas Plenty pf parking and great coffee! We are coming back! Thank you read more

This is the worsts place to eat. It's cost major running to the restroom a dozens time. Frozen food from a freezer. They reheated it and give it to customer! Do not waste your money on this cheap food. It's will make you sick! DO NOT EAT HERE! Taco truck is so much better than eating this garbage!!! read more

Great service and good food shocked there are any complaints but they should have beer ha. Home cooking delicious

Been looking for good Mexican food place and have to say this is the worst overpriced food I ever had. The staff was very friendly ordered the enchiladas and they charge $14 for 3 enchiladas with rice and beans. The enchiladas were 4 inches long at best. Very little cheese inside. Flavor was a zero and the salsa was no heat chips tasted old. They give like 3 tablespoons of salsa. So the search for good Mexican food continues read more

Not sure how this place got any higher star ratings. Very limited menu and very bland, mediocre food. We ordered, chili releono, chicken enchilada, rice and beans. Very so, so. Also, the Barbacoa was tender but I did not like the flavor. The woman who waited on us was quite nice. The chips and salsa was the best thing we had. read more

their red chilaquiles. Come here if you want authentic Mexican food. Today I got breakfast egg red chilaquiles typically include crispy tortilla chips, red salsa (salsa roja), and are topped with fried eggs. Additional toppings include grated cheese read more

I came to try their food on Cinco de Mayo, after work, to bring home for lunch for family. I've been craving for beef Birria Tacos which I ordered 5-taco order with the consommé to share. I LOVED IT! My brother loved it, too! I ordered super chicken burrito, not spicy, for my mom. My brother tasted the chicken when he had cut it up for her. He said it was very flavorful unlike other Mexican burritos we've had including in the Bay Area where we moved from three years ago. I ordered the Al Pastor burrito for my brother. He loved it! Both my mom and brother are very picky eaters! I came back on 5/08 for their beef Burria tacos again, this time 3-taco order after work. I'll keep coming back to try the other dishes offered. Oh, and Mina is friendly, accommodating, hospitable and a wonderful chef! Love her! read more

Rude service. I went in because the food looked good and they have a salsa bar in their picture. I walk in and I'm looking for the salsa bar with the grilled jalapenos. It's not there. I ask the lady she tells me they haven't had a salsa bar in ten years. I tell her I seen her in yelp and the pictures look good. Anyways I get a weird attitude from the owner but I'm in a rush so I order anyways. I get my food ask for extra salsa she tells me there's salsa in the bag. I ask again can I get two extra reds please. I can tell she has an attitude about it. She ends up handing them to me and was like you owe me a dollar. Whatever lady I was going to tip more than a dollar but since you were rude I kept my tip. Tacos were ok. I'm sure I could've found better at any taco truck. The meat was gritty and fatty. The tortillas were sour. Really the salsa was the only thing that saved them from going in the trash. Wasn't worth the ten plus minutes I drove out of my way. Also it's not close to the freeway as stated in the description. You'll probably go about 20 plus minutes out of your way just to pick up ok tacos with an attitude. Also she charges over 4 dollars a taco for small street tacos. Lastly as I was leaving I could hear her in the back warming things up in the microwave so obviously it's not fresh food. read more

One of my favorite burritos I've ever tried. It had had flavor and the cheese melted so perfectly. I had salsa on the side so good too read more

Only place I know that still does $1 taco Tuesday's!! And the tacos are good. Steak fries are yummy and the potato Taquitos are good too. Parking is available and wait time isn't bad. There is a $1 fee for using a credit card so maybe bring cash. They have a candy vending thing that cost a quarter so my kid likes that and so do I since most are like .75 cents. I definitely recommend this spot and have found myself coming here more than other places. They are next to a gas station a few lights down from the freeway. read more

seafood dishes here are incredibly fresh and packed with authentic, bold flavors that transport you straight to the coast.

The business has improved its ambiance slowly since they first opened. Food is good but you get less now for the price and the price increase over time. Service is okay. read more

Cheap mexican food by a very nice lady who also doubles as the cashier. It's like you're eating at her house. Food is solid but not spectacular but the price point beats every place in the greater bay area by a mile. If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews) read more

We have been going here for a couple of years and the food never disappoints. From Taco Tuesdays to just that spur of the moment craving...this is my family's spot.

Haven't been here in about 4 years. Finally made it back and omg still as good as my first time. Carnitas greatness.

Great food! My family and I order the breakfast burritos here pretty often for pick up. I don't know how they make their beans but they are bomb! read more

Hidden gem! Ran by a mother and daughter duo-- who are very friendly and great. Each time I get food here it's always delicious. Which is why I keep my going back! My usual plate is the chilaquiles breakfast plate with added chicken. It's got a little bit of a spicy kick but it's so good! My husband gets the breakfast burrito with chorizo. Both are under $20- can't beat that for authentic and tasty food. read more

Amazing! I stopped here for a quick work lunch & had 2 of every meat they offer for their taco Tuesday special. The lady taking the order recommended that for us & it was 10/10. Very happy with my food every single item was great! Definitely looking forward to coming back!! read more

I ordered the Huevo Rancheros with corn tortillas. The Ranchero sauce was so tasty. In fact everything was tasty. I was a bit disappointed due to the fact I was served packaged corn tortillas. I was excited because I had read on Yelp that they hand make them. Oh well, can't beat that dish, especially for $5! Oh, and the ladies are super nice. read more

Stopped by for breakfast on New Year's and was surprised this place was open early. Pleasant and friendly service and delicious food awaits you here.

Stopped here on the way home for mexican breakfast. This is like home cooked food by a Mexican lady. We were the only ones there around 7:30 am. I ordered the chilaquiles with carne asada. First of all the chips and salsa were both really good. The chilaquiles rojo was really tasty, the beans very good and while the rice was good could have been a bit warmer. The only criticism I have is the carne asada was kind of dry I'm actually not sure if it was cooked fresh to order but it was ok. Overall good I'd come here again. read more

Lovely food.. right portions and tastes so authentic.. two thumbs up .. also loved the Mexican soft drinks ...

Chose this place due to Yelp reviews and was left grossly disappointed. Guest 1 had a Carne Asada Super burrito with everything on it. It was impressive in size but was lacking taste. Not sure what was super about it since no sour cream or guacamole was included. Only meat, rice, beans and cheese. Guest 2 and 3 both had combination fajitas, both terrible! Served in a soggy soupy substance. The chicken and beef seemed boiled and absolutely tasteless. The refried beans were watery but rice was edible. Again, no sour cream or guacamole. I'm uncertain how they have achieved an almost perfect rating. read more

One word, outstanding!!! We ordered food for a party-rice, beans, carne Asada, chicken and el pastor. Every last bit of it was delicious! I didn't bother to try here before ordering catered food but I saw the reviews were good. I do not regret once so ever. The rice was perfect and flavorful beans were perfection and all the meat was so darn tasty!!! It's very hard to find a restaurant that makes a good pastor and they nailed it. I highly recommend giving this place a try. Also, Elizabeth was so friendly and helpful. Oh! Prices were in my opinion cheap. The portions were spot on. I had plenty of food for roughly 40 people-enough that I had left overs too. read more

Our family just finished a long softball day and we wanted Mexican food. I checked Yelp and this location had great reviews. We walked in around 2:30 and nobody was there. They only have a few tables to sit at, so I can see how this place can get busy during peak lunch hours. I ordered the seafood and grilled meats. This is a fajita platter with onions, bell peppers, shrimp, steak and chicken all mixed together with a side of rice and beans and tortillas. I really enjoyed the food, it was seasoned well. My daughters ordered the carne asada burritos and tacos. The taco comes out with a good amount of meat and the burrito was MASSIVE. My husband ordered the carne asada fries. This was probably my favorite. The fries are homemade, they use a mix of jack and cheddar cheese and its smothered in meat. It is a plate of yummy. I don't know if they no longer serve bean dip, but we did not receive any. We did however receive a bowl of salsa and chips. read more

Excellent food and service. The salsa was so flavorful and delicious. EVERYTHING is handmade. Highly recommend and will come whenever we are in town. We had burritos that were huge and filled to the brim with goodness. Had to take home a burrito nub since it was so much food. The server was lovely and we had a great experience. read more

I've been here twice & both times it's been pretty empty but the food is Super Tasty! Burritos are Massive! Bigger than I've had at other places. This past weekend we went in for Breakfast. I had the Chilaquiles. So good, but SPICY (just a heads up if you prefer mild) The ladies in here are also friendly & attentive. read more
