IN THE CHIPS: Kicking things off, the Chips and Salsa are now $3.85 for an order, but they were worth the money - light and airy, and the salsa just barely had a hint of heat to it. Just perfect. (5/5) THE BEANS.. Perusing the menu, whatever plate you order, you can specify the kind of beans you want (black beans, pinto beans, refried beans). I chose the black beans, but specified "no cheese" on them in a semi-futile attempt to stay on the healthy side. =) SEAFOOD TACOS I decided on the Seafood Taco Platter, where you get one shrimp taco and a fish taco along with a big side of beans and lots of rice. Each taco comes with a double layer of corn tortillas with grilled shrimp, or fish topped by shredded cabbage drizzled with a lime aioli. Instead of deep fried, the shrimp and fish on each taco were grilled to perfection, instead of deep fried. The fish filet was diced and stir-fried with a wonderful aroma. Instead of making a mess, I decided just to eat my taco by slicing and dicing it from the plate. Super good! (5/5) One of my dining partners had the mole here a year ago and loved it, so now that he was back in town, he made this place a prime objective for his visit again to the Bay! Yeah.. I'd tend to agree.. Worth coming back.

Believe me, I've been to MANY other burrito places around and most all of them just give you a beans and rice burrito with a tiny bit of meat. This place at least gives you an expected amount of meat in your burrito. The location could be considered 'hole in the wall' but that does not bother me and I like to support local small businesses. I will be back here!

Another family arrived no reservation got seated after us. We got sat outside, and it was cold. Server took so long to take drink orders and to take our order. While everyone else outside was being checked on & having there orders come out at a decent time. By the time we ordered and received our order we never Were offered chips /salsa. Our food was beyond lukewarm. They forgot my child's main dish. They rushed an order of grilled chicken & and it tasted nasty. You could either taste the chicken juice or it was spoiled chicken. The chicken mole had maybe half a breast of chicken. The entire plate was random chilly pepper/ pickled onion. Along with my fajitas. Chicken was decent but had random veggies. Grilled asparagus/ pickled radish/ the basic onion/ bell pepper. No salad, no Guac, no sour cream. Back to the service- we returned the Chicken only to get $5 off the bill. The server was nice but wasn't attentive, never had came back to check on us. I had to go up and ask for the bill. Idk the service and food was horrible. The food had no season and didn't taste like anything. Don't recommend ever

They also support their local first responders by letting them eat free on Sunday ^_^ We've catered them many times and the food is excellent. I ordered three tacos: carnitas, asada, and shrimp. They were not stingy with the meat and I love that they add pickled veggies and turnips on the side. Each was loaded and their red sauce is nice and spicy. 100% recommend them!

Has become my favorite Mexican spot EASILY!…read more Lots of Bay Area competition on this and I know, extremely arguable. But I've been here 8 times in the last 3 weeks.... Burritos are heavy and delicious. Flavor in every bite! Only gotten burritos and horchata and that's honestly all you need. Horchata isn't gritty. Is the perfect balance of sweet and creamy. I've had asada, grilled chicken and shredded chicken burritos. I can't decide between the asada and the GRILLED chicken. Which is why I've gone back so many times haha! I would recommend calling ahead of time because there can be a 15-20 minute wait when it gets busy! Good amount of seating, probably 40 people max for the building so a good small/ medium amount of space. Not for a party of 10+ in my opinion. Great Spot! 10/10

After another group walked up and was immediately greeted and served, we pointed out that we'd been there first. The bartender said we'd already ordered (referring to an $8 chips and salsa) so that's why he didn't ask but with no apology or effort to rectify. Mistakes happen, but a simple acknowledgment goes a long way. The food is overpriced with staff that don't seem to care. We ended up leaving and taking our business elsewhere.

It was more than enough food but we just couldn't stop eating because of how delicious it was! The sweet corn tamale was like a dessert, but paired with the tang and salt of the sour cream and cotija cheese it became a refreshing sweet and salty bite. It was a traditional corn dough and the texture was insanely soft, unlike most of the dry tamales I have had before. The pache tamale was truly the star. I had no idea what I was ordering, but I'm so glad that I managed to get this item in my order. The masa is made with potatoes instead of corn which gives it a smooth and melt in your mouth texture and a savory, addictive flavor. The pork inside is juicy and tender. Each bite is complete with the tangy pickled onions. The chuchitos were like the traditional Mexican tamales I am used to, with corn masa and stuffed with flavor and juicy chicken. The tamales are doused in a delectable red sauce and topped with cotija, sour cream, and more pickled onions. They were delightful. The garnachas were definitely the other star of this order. I had never had tostadas like them before, with flavorful and juicy chopped meat, salsa, and cotija. They are served with pickled veggies to add spice and tang, but what surprised me the most was the sautéed cabbage placed on top of each garnacha. The cabbage was so flavorful and soft, and despite all of the other sources of flavor it made itself known. The chile relleno plato was unlike what I am used to. Often, the chile rellenos my family eats are poblano peppers stuffed with oaxacan cheese, these were not that at all. In a way, this dish resembled more of a stuffed bell pepper, with a red pepper filled with chopped meat and veggies. I did get a piece of cartilage which made me a little wary when taking a bite but it was so delicious I couldn't help myself. The black beans it came with were flavorful and the dressing of the salad was amazing and reminiscent of a green goddess dressing. The service was amazing. The people were sweet and accommodating. I also really enjoyed the ambience even though I did order pick up. There are murals and bright colors lining all of the walls, giving the place a welcoming and fun vibe. Overall, with the amazing food, sweet faculty, and beautiful setting, it is impossible to go to this place and not feel an immediate lift in mood.
