    Great service with a homey welcoming feel. The greeting inside is embracing. If you know then you…read moreknow! There's a special customer service greeting as you enter the door. It's enduring and hilarious at the same time. The food is amazing and savory down to the chips and salsa. They have special fresh strawberries if you order a strawberry cocktail. There's something about this restaurant that rents a space in your memory. I'll be back.

This kind of Mexican restaurant is right up my alley. Great food, stiff drinks, excellent service, and lively atmosphere. Oh, and plenty of chips and salsa!! I had the two tacos combination platter (one beef, one chicken) w/ a skinny jalapeño margarita. Along w/ guacamole to accompany the chips and salsa for the table - this meal was incredible. I could've walked out and gotten hit by a bus and would've been happy that this was my last meal. We were seated upstairs and it was a little more intimate and cozy w/ low ceilings (look out tall people!). Service was so on point, we never had to rubberneck once, the servers were always present without being overbearing. Not sure if there is dedicated parking for the restaurant, but there was plenty of street parking during Sunday afternoon. I think I found my new favorite Mexican spot in the Covina/Azusa area!!

    I've driven by this place 10+ years. I always assumed it was a grocery store not a restaurant…read more Today I popped in for an early dinner after my niece's soccer game. There's a private parking lot with plenty of parking. Her entire team dined together. The team ended up taking up the patio area. When you walk in, turn right. You must order at the register before taking a seat. Pricing is reasonable. Food is decent. The guac could use some salt. The chips could use less salt. My sister and I each ordered the enchilada plate served with beans and rice. She ordered chicken and I ordered beef. We both got red sauce and a side of guac to share. After ordering, you pick up your chips, guac, and drink. Then sit somewhere and they'll bring you your food. The food was good. However, I was disappointed that it only came with one enchilada. It was alright, but doesn't taste authentic. I really wanted tacos, but I saw on Yelp their tacos are not authentic. They're served in a fried tortilla which is very American. Would I return? Sure. Decent food. Decent price. But it won't blow your mind.

    I've been a loyal customer and this is usually my go-to place, but I was really disappointed with…read moretoday's experience. I placed my order over the phone and picked it up as usual. When I got to my car and checked the bag, I realized several items were missing. I went back inside to let them know. By that point, the food I had already been given had been sitting for over 45 minutes. I still had to drive home, so I knew it would be cold by the time I got there. After waiting another 20 minutes for the missing items, I decided to ask for a full refund instead. Hopefully this was just a one-off issue.

Our waitress Linda quickly greeted us so gracefully. She took our order for our drinks and our food because we knew exactly what we wanted. She brought us chips and two bowls with salsa. The green salsa is my favorite. The restaurant was very busy but it didn't take very long for our food. As usual our meal was delicious! Our waitress Linda was very attentive and friendly.

    Title: Misleading survey reward - fine print appeared only after completion…read more Review: I completed an online survey specifically because the restaurant offered a free mini dessert in exchange. After finishing the survey, I received a confirmation email for the dessert. When I showed the digital confirmation to our waitress, she had to get an approval from Alex the manager. Alex asked to see my phone to "prove" the receipt, then told the waitress the offer was actually meant for graduates only. Nowhere on the survey, the confirmation email, or any promotional material I saw was this graduate restriction mentioned. If I had known, I wouldn't have spent time filling out the survey. To make matters worse, I frequent this restaurant and have noticed that It Alex never visits any of the tables to check on customers. But he has no problem sitting with his family as though he owns the place. Offering a reward for completing a survey, then adding restrictions only after a customer tries to redeem it, feels misleading. A simple heads-up in the survey would have saved everyone time and frustration. I frequent this restaurant weekly and spend well over $100.00 on breakfast for both me and my wife we enjoy the food and the service we receive from the team but since Alex never visits any tables or customers while I'm there for Alex to question his own company's promotion I feel Alex should do his due diligence and know what his company his promoting. Thank you to the staff is why we frequent this establishment. Alex please do better. Thank you. David

LOCATION: Right off Azusa Ave and the 210, not hard to find and has a big parking lot to park with seating outside under the shade. Ample space. SERVICE: I think what makes this place special and unique is German, who is the owner and main guy here and he is top notch hospitality! So personable, and so engaging with the customers. He was so kind and gave me a complimentary aqua frescas being my first time! 10/10 service FOOD: the meat and tacos are generous and flavorful. Come on Tuesdays for $2. The meat is so good one of the best I've had! Aqua frescas was the best I've had in awhile too. Cucumber flavor was refreshing! I can't highly recommend this place enough if you are in the area of Azusa. The reviews as peak for itself!

I enjoyed my meal. Also, had lunch for the next day. Service was amazing, it was a busy night and they had plenty of servers. Drinks were never left empty and all employees were very content on helping all of us. In the way of ambience, this place has lots of seating indoors and a few tables outdoors. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait, depending on the time of day but well worth it. While we were there, they had several birthdays celebrated. With a little song and a little dessert.

Her fish tacos came Fried when she asked for grilled he said he never heard that, you had to if you repeated her order twice. Then the manager came over was rude and made weird facial expressions and he asked her to pay for a second plate to have her order made right are you kidding me? Her order was made wrong. Why should she have to pay for a second plate to be re-fired because the first plate should've been correct.! I will never come here again because the lack of common courtesy and respect was not given to this lady by your server and the manager shame on you..! You need to wake-up and take care of your customers, and serve the food as ordered. Shame on you. I will NOT return.!
