If youre dining in, it's going to be served on a cheap flat plate. Flavor wise, it was actually pretty good. I've had better but for it being in Camarillo, I think it was good. The horchata tasted watered down. Few chairs inside to dine in. Theres a small little salsa bar with limes. Dine in only for chips.

Anywho... Purchased more than one asada burrito and both were rather s m a l l. What gets my goose is that these things were $13.41 EACH!!! Two burritos & 1 drink over $30.00. I get the convenience part, but skimping on the ingredients, yet a BIG azz flour tortilla to compensate? Don't take my word for it just. Look at the comparison to the Taco Bell burrito?! Yeah, competition is plentiful likely will expand my "girth" of go-to local Mexican eateries!

As you walk into this deceptively designed shop, you'll find a tight entry. To the right is the…read moreservice counter. Immediately in front of you, is a grocery store with fresh produce, drinks, etc.. There's no real service to speak of. You go in, look at the menu above and behind the register, make your choices and pay the employee at the till. When I went, no one offered to answer any questions or sell me anything. The woman at the counter next to the young man behind the register just watched me while I checked stuff out. On the left between a dark room and the grocery, were large racks of Mexican pastries and breads. I have tried Mexican pastries in the past and have not really enjoyed them. But "hope springs. . ." and all that. So, seeing a decent amount of plump pastries and breads that looked incredibly fresh and enticing, I used the provided tongs and placed a few into a bag (also provided). I'm still thinking about going back for more. They were all moist and flavorful with fillings that were delicately sweetened. So so good. I perused the menu acting as though I hadn't come there for one item only - a breakfast burrito with bacon. I liked the breakfast burrito I had here and would definitely recommend it. It's a full meal capable of holding you for a long time. I would probably want to eat one again before a long day of chores, shopping, or a strenuous hike. I need to feel like I earned the calories. And I wasn't hungry until dinner. Behind the register is a doorway to a whole other experience. The kitchen is safely and sanitarily located behind tall countertops and a refrigerated section. I was excited to see the variety of offerings from south of the border. Are you hankering for a goody you can only get in Mexico, come here and look. You'll probably find it. That dark room I mentioned earlier is a huge dining area with dark iconic furniture that I discovered on my first trip to Mexico many years ago. Black leather and wood barrel shaped chairs with black leather topped round tables scattered around a dark room with black tile floors. There were patrons eating at a couple of the tables who looked like regulars. The size of the dining area made me think it would be a great place for a large gathering. I'm now wondering if they ever have live music and if they would be able to accommodate a large birthday party. There are a couple of picnic tables in the back, off the parking lot, where I ate my meal. I believe the notion of putting tables back there was more like an afterthought because it's not decorated and it's right along the back walkway from parked cars to the restaurant door. It's not regularly attended to, I guess, as there were remnants of another customer's meal at the other table. I also had the thought that it might just be a place for the employees to take a break and eat a meal in peace. Overall, I will be coming back and trying other menu items, baked goods and products from the other room.

I love Mexican food and tacos might be my favorite. I love it here. The meat is delicious, tortillas are solid, and the salsa is wonderful! My go to is the chicken and pastor. Chicken tacos are usually never my favorite, but the chicken here is high quality, juicy, and perfectly seasoned! The albondigas is also delicious! They are very nice and service is top notch! Very cute inside. One of my go to taco spots for sure!

Enjoyed the creamy salsa on it as well as the cabbage and pico de gallo adding a nice crunch and freshness to it. The quesabirria tacos had great flavor as well, though they were a bit too oily for my tatse. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the tortillas weren't my favorite. They tasted like the store bought ones from the grocery store which i'm not a huge fan of. For dessert, we tried the churro donuts and they were definitely worth it. Perfectly crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired really well with the caramel sauce. Sweet, but that's exactly what you want from a treat like that. They also offer a good selection of drinks. I went with the guava lemonade and it was a 10/10. Refreshing and flavorful. There is some seating area indoors and more outdoors which is nice, but I do with they had heaters for the outside seating when it gets cold.

Typically most places can dry out the meat, or it's minced up, or has grizzle in it. The meat here was delicious, and I was very impressed. I plan to try the Chile Relleno burrito next week, and if it's just as good - I'll bump the rating to 5 stars. It's always a good sign when there's a crowd of people in a restaurant at 11:30 ...

When the food came there was 4 meals plopped down on the table. Nothing said about the missing food. It was 5 minutes before the 5th meal showed up. None of the meals that have their home made tortillas came with tortillas. When we asked they brought a basket with 2 tortillas and said they were making more now. 5 minutes later more tortillas arrived. 3 of the 5 meals included tortillas. When done we waited over 10 minutes before we tried to flag down our server. Finally paid. The ambiance is nice. The food is really pretty good. Don't know if we were just unlucky tonight it was the first time we ever ate there.

The decor is a blast from the past and looks like it did inside when I first stated coming here, so they haven't done much to the place but to me that gives this spot that old school charm. I personally love the old time decor and owls all around the restaurant. I find their booths to be cozy and comfortable. The menu is also pretty large with all of the classic dishes. The staff have always been nice when I've come in. They are attentive, friendly and the food is whipped up quickly. Happy hour menu seems to bring in the crowds but I do think there are other places with a happy hour menu that gives you more bang for your buck than here. The food is average in many ways but very comforting. Probably I'd rate all of the different dishes I've tried between 3.5-4 stars depending what you get. I really love their albondigas soup and that's one of my favs. Never steers me wrong. Also their crunchy shell tacos aren't bad. I came for a beef taco with rice and beans and was pleasantly surprised. This isn't Michelin star food people - just classic no frills Mexican food that seems to have kept them operating all this time, impressive if you ask me. My last pro tip is the margaritas are stellar. Huge fan of their mango marg and I'd come back for this alone. Just at $15 that's a little hefty for a hole in the wall spot like this. Same with the food. Two margs and two simple smaller main plates ran us $70 after tax and tip. Seems like it's hard to get a good deal nowadays but for keeping these local gems open, I'll always do my best to support.

Well, asada was tough. I'd say every other bite had a spitter in it. The rest of the burrito was good, including the two salsas. The other issue was the wait. 35 minutes for a single burrito. When you only have two items on the menu, you need to be able to prep everything and crank those out.
