Chips wer crisp salsa was tasty but watery...just ok. We order shredde beef, ground beef & shredded chicken burritos. Entrees were the worst we've ever tired to eat! Ground beef had the texture of cat food & tasted even worse. Red sauce was bitter, salty and bland. I got a beef taco that was tough stringy beef topped with nothing but a TON of something that resembled cheese. I had one bite and cast it aside. Both out burrito dishes were nauseating! Bland, salty and bitter ands the chicken & beef were tought & stringy. This was the WORST Mexican we have EVER tried to eat!! We took it all home & threw it out in the back yard for the raccoosn and THEY wouldn't even touch it. We are not picky, but this was absolutely diisgusing. I'm telling you people...STAY FAR AWAY!!! 10 stars negative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT just frozen tenders with some franks like everywhere else around here. The sauce was great and was given good amount of ranch which I feel like when I ask , I never get extra anywhere else.

They took our drink orders quickly and brought out the chips and salsa. As always I asked for an extra salsa dish cause I'm super messy. The guy said sure and left but no salsa bowl arrived. The waiter came a minute or two later and so I asked him. He said oh sure and left. He returned quickly and im assuming got distracted because he forgot it too. He said he'd go get it after he put in our order. We ordered and waited and I finally flagged him down again. He did bring a bowl just as they arrived with my husbands food and my side of rice and beans. I guess the cook messed up and so after I finished the beans and rice my tacos arrived. They were very good and he did offer another plate of rice and beans but I told him I wss fine. My only complaint is that I felt they should have taken off a part of the meal or when they offered the beans and rice said it would be no charge. The food was good but the experience was a bit disappointing.

Decor: An absurd rabbit warren in a riot of colors. Picture a red door with yellow trim set in a…read moreroyal blue wall. No two doors the same color. Not one square inch of bourgeois beige. The floors are uneven. It feels like an old house repurposed on a very tight budget. I love it. It's the sort of place where you expect you might see a genuine beatnik at some point, sitting against a wall, quoting Alan Watts into his beer. Service: All the serving staff are genuinely nice people. They seem happy to be at work. Service is very fast and, in my experience, very accurate. Food: I'm about as Gringo as Gringo gets and (thank goodness) I have never lived in California, so I can't comment on the food's authenticity. And since when do you go to a Mexican joint for a finely nuanced international dining experience anyway? It took a little to adjust to their enchiladas, which is what I usually get when I eat Mexican. The meat is not inside the enchilada. Instead, there are these fairly skimpy cheese-filled enchiladas on the plate, buried beneath a giant pile of spicy meat. It's very untidy. Not a curlicued radish rosette to be seen. Then there's a little white cup of beans floating in the sauce and a substantial blop of the usual overcooked rice. It's delicious. They have two hot sauces, a homemade habanero which I haven't tried yet, and the ubiquitous Valentina's, hot enough to be a hot sauce, very flavorful, and mild enough that you can pour it on heavy , which is what I do. I love this place. I should give it four stars, because it's a little on the sketchy side, but I am going to give it five stars, because it's a little on the sketchy side.
