    Enchilada and tamale combo. Sangria and chips and salsa.
    Alexis A.

    First of the service was great, only one server when i came for dinner and was on it! So sweet and very attentive. Sangria was bomb and the service size was big just how i lile them. Food was so warm and comforting and delicious. I got the 2 item combo with a ground beef enchilada and chicken tamale with green sauce. Both 10/10. I would have finished it but i got full off the complimentary chips and salsa which also good. And its cute inside, lighting was good and not too bright. Nice and warm. Coming back for sure!

    Enchilada plate

    The picture of beans lured me to this place. It has been a while, a long while since I had such a delicious authentic Mexican food. The salsa and chips open us to a promise of more yummy food. The salsa was spicy but just enough amount... then our food came. The chips were warm.... Kids ordered a special burritos which was a big as a pillow. I split an enchilada plate with my beautiful wife. The beans! The beans! They were extra creamy. The youngest had the taquitos and enjoyed them. Overall, the food and service were excellent! Can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu.

    Probably the best Mexican food in the Central Coast!!! Yes, it really is that good. If you're ever in the area make sure you stop by and give them a try. Absolutely fabulous!!!

    Excellent service right off the bat. There was one server who was holding it down, taking orders, getting drinks, refilling without asking, etc. We were a large party of 8, and she was always one step ahead of the game, making it look easy, even when we asked for extra salsa, napkins, etc. and did it all with a smile. I believe her name is Lizbet? Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh and full of authentic flavor. They ought to be famous for their homemade tortillas because they were perfect. The taquitos with chicken and beef were great, tacos de camarones, very good as well as the pozole especially with the chile de aceite. So good. We'll be back for sure!

    That giant special buro with carne asada was sooooo good!! The green sauce on top had so much flavor. Perfect burrito with a beer!

    Some reviewers say that they only serve wine and beer, and that the margaritas are wine margaritas. But the yelp site says "full bar." Which is it?

    We were passing through town and wanted lunch. We ordered our food at the counter and sat outside…read more There is a nice view of the ocean. Despite being outside, they checked up on us often. The meal came with Fantastic home made tortilla chips. I had the California burrito. Which was very good, but didn't have shrimp. My experience is the California burrito usually comes with Asada and Shrimp. We also had the chicken Taquitos and a side great salad. Overall, a great meal.

    Things change and so do people, and so it is with what once was a wonderful, truly Mexican cafe…read morealong Hwy 1 outside of Morro Bay, CA. They use to serve GIGANTIC burritos, stuffed to bursting with homemade carnitas and other meats. Well, the crowds were no longer there and there was actually parking available immediately in front of the building. And the building looked like it had experienced some hard times. One man at the cash register taking orders. You could read the menu behind him posted on the wall. Very basic options and the interior seating was at 1950s style linoleum kitchen tables and chairs. Probably bought at a flea market. We were crushed. I had a combo platter of one crispy carnitas taco at $23. Ground beef. Very basic and lacked flavor. Outrageous for over $20. Wife had two enchiladas a la carte, cheese and green at $13. Mush. At least we have our memories and hope that someone will come along to resurrect it into at least something close to what was.

Don't let the…read moresimple, no-frills aesthetic fool you--the food here is absolutely phenomenal and packed with flavor. On top of the amazing tacos, the prices are incredibly reasonable, the staff is super friendly, and there is tons of parking, making it an easy, hassle-free stop. Five stars all around!

    Was looking for taco places near SLO and came across this one on Yelp. My dad really likes buche so…read morethankfully this place had it. This restaurant is quite small but they have a small lot and plenty of street parking. When we walked in, you need to order at the counter first and then find a place to sit. There was a salsa bar where you can choose your own. There was a lot of salsa options to choose from and it was definitely spicy. My family and I opted for their burritos and I got their crispy tacos. 1. Burritos (asada, pollo, and buche): 7/10 Burritos were filling - it came with rice, beans, onions, and the meat itself. However we all agreed that it tasted mainly of beans and rice, but very little meat which was disappointing. 2. Crispy tacos: 4/10 This was meh - the tacos were crispy but super small and very little meat per taco (was less than a teaspoon in all honesty). Definitely wouldn't recommend and I should have stuck with trying their soft-shelled tacos. Overall, it was a nice place to stop by, eat some Mexican food, and the price was decent.
