We recently relocated from Garden Grove to the Santa Ana/Fountain Valley area and have been on the…read morehunt for a Mexican restaurant to fill the void left by our beloved spot in Los Alamitos. Thanks to Restaurant Week, we stumbled upon this gem, and we are so grateful. The hospitality alone would earn five stars. But then came the food. The tacos? Absolutely exceptional. The steak was tender and flavorful in a way that reminded me of eating throughout Mexico, you could actually taste the meat. A light, gentle pickle of vegetables on top, minimal cheese, nothing heavy or greasy. These are not the American-style tacos drowning in a pound of melted cheese. These are the real thing. The beans were lovely, the rice was solid, and my passion fruit winearita drink was genuinely a treat. Restaurant Week gave us the perfect low-pressure reason to try somewhere new, and we walked out with a new favorite. We'll be back for lunch. We'll be back for dinner. And yes, Taco Tuesday, we'll absolutely be back for that.

Honestly, I have no idea how this restaurant has nearly 5 stars…read more We arrived around 6 PM with a party of 6 adults and 3 toddlers, and we didn't receive our food until almost 8 PM. To make matters worse, one of our meals was completely forgotten. The service was extremely slow throughout the entire visit. Every time we needed something, whether it was a refill, an update, or assistance, the wait felt excessive. The restaurant may have potential because the food itself was flavorful, but it seemed like they were either understaffed or unprepared for the number of customers they had. Another disappointment was the drink selection. We were told they don't have a liquor license, so hard alcohol isn't available. Their sodas were canned, and when we asked for juice for the kids, they told us they were completely out. As for the atmosphere, the restaurant is on the smaller side and felt more like a converted house than a traditional restaurant, complete with a fireplace and television in the dining area. The food had good flavor, which is the only reason I'm giving more than one star. Unfortunately, the long wait times, missing meal, lack of drink options, and poor service made the overall experience disappointing.

But the tacos here really shine - fresh, and flavorful and unique. Can't wait to come back!

Im giving two stars instead of one because I come here pretty often and normally have nothing…read morenegative to say, which is why tonight's experience was especially disappointing. I arrived at 8:21 PM and was told that I couldn't order food or sit down to eat because they were already closed. I was confused because both Yelp and the sign literally posted outside the front door say they close at 9:00 PM. When I pointed that out, I was repeatedly told, "No, we close at 8." That simply doesn't make sense when your own posted business hours say otherwise. I completely understand that a kitchen may close 30 minutes before the restaurant itself closes. Had someone simply told me, "Sorry, we decided to close the kitchen early tonight," I honestly wouldn't have cared and probably wouldn't even be writing this review. Things happen. What bothered me was being repeatedly told that the restaurant closes at 8 PM when the sign directly outside says 9 PM. It felt less like a misunderstanding and more like I was being given an explanation that clearly didn't match the posted hours. If the restaurant actually closes at 8 PM, then the hours posted outside and online need to be updated. If the restaurant closes at 9 PM and the kitchen normally closes at 8:30, then I would have appreciated someone simply being upfront that they were closing early tonight. I've been a regular customer and have generally enjoyed coming here, so this was disappointing. Customers are usually much more understanding when you're simply honest with them rather than giving them an explanation that directly contradicts what's posted on your own front door.

Food is great and ambiance is nice now that they opened their Buf location next door. The only thing being I attended a company holiday brunch here as well and they seemed much more unprepared for it. Food took a while and some got messed up. Things were squished in and awkward for seating because of the weather. I was told it just wasn't what the company originally was told or wanted but in any way, I can't fight my own enjoyments when I go!
