    Chicken Milanesa served with rice, beans & a fresh, crisp salad.
    Vicky B.

    Friendly. Attentive service Delicious authentic food served hot & fresh. The restaurant is very clean. You better come hungry because they serve generous portions.

    The nondescript understated front entrance

    Upon arrival, we found plenty of parking and were surprised as all but the one table was open to sit immediately. A packed house is the start of a good thing to come! We entered the restaurant and it was more retired diner than traditional Hispanic restaurant, which made me wonder how good it was going to be. The hostess was on top of the service! She had drinks, chips and salsa immediately. Nearly faster than we could be sat down. The chips were both a mix of flour and corn and seemed fresh as they were hot! The Hostess, , was amazing. She was so polite, professional and attention to detail it made for a very memorable experience. She went above and beyond to make certain our meals were made to perfection. Now, for the meal, WOW! You have to try it, and if you are in town and don't, you have missed a hidden gem! This has got to be one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants in the US. Using the freshest ingredients, cleanliness facilities, nicest staff it was AMAZING! I will be back - even if I have to drive two hours out of my way to enjoy it again!

    Mother's Day Daquiri, and a rose from the staff!

    Stopped in this cute little spot today for Mother's Day, and I can't say enough good about our experience! Minus a different waitress grabbing one of our two items, causing a little delay... everything from the atmosphere. Nice crowd to see families celebrating mom. Our waitress, Jennifer, was the friendliest and extremely hospitable! Food was deeeelish! Sadly didn't get a pic of the food, but the daiquiri was perfect and refreshing on such a beautiful day! Well done, guys!

    Best Mexican food ever! The customer service is amazing and everyone is super nice. This place deserves all the stars and more! The food is next level! I always go here whenever I'm in town.

    Chicken fajita burrito

    The food was absolutely excellent. Great chips and salsa, delicious food in general. Good service as well. My new favorite Mexican restaurant! Will definitely be returning.

    Sizzling steak fajitas
    Gayle D.

    Very delicious! The chips come with flour and corn. The flour chips are AMAZING! Their salsa is just right. Just a little heat. Fajitas portion was huge. No overpowering flavor just yummy. Staff were attentive and will get you anything you need.

    Small bar with excellent selection of tequila.

    Food was great! Service was fantastic! Ambiance was pleasant. We will return! Enjoy yourself

    It was not busy when my family of 4 walked in but the service was a little slow. We ordered and the server was attending to three people at the bar. The waitress was very friendly and we enjoyed the food. Only reason for the 4 stars was the wait on the food. I assume they only had 1 cook. Our food came out at different times. My family was nearly finished eating by the time I got my meal. Really friendly staff and food is okay but be sure you have time to wait.

    Spicy mango margarita and a regular margarita

    We pulled in from driving all day and found this little place . There was a huge party of like 15 ahead of us, so we were thinking it would be a wait to get our food. Not at all! Fast, tasty and great service! We shared steak/chicken fajitas and I had a margarita and spicy mango margarita and it didn't disappoint

    Enchilada dinner. Albondigas soup in the background.
    Stefanie H.

    The restaurant was busy and had two waitresses. I figured we would have to wait for service and food. But our waitress was surprisingly very attentive. The chips are a mixture of corn and flour tortillas. This was a nice change compared to other restaurants. We got albondigas soup which was good and enchilada dinner. I ordered one cheese enchilada with red sauce and one chicken enchilada with green sauce. The rice was very good and moist. When I asked if the chicken was white meat I'm not sure she understood. The chicken enchilada was just okay. The chicken was clumpy. I liked the cheese enchilada and red sauce. I forgot to get a picture of the menu since the most recent picture on Yelp was from 4 years ago.

    My favorite place to eat in Livingston! Their dishes never disappoint, and I love the casual environment. The servers are always nice as well. Best Mexican food in Merced County.

    My man is working nearby so he stopped and picked up burritos for dinner. We ordered 2 super…read moreburritos 1 asada 1 pastor and we added avocado to both. Price was $26 for the burritos. Super comes with your choice of meat , sour cream, cheese, onions, cilantro & red salsa. We got both green & red salsa in burritos.Burritos were a good size. When we got home we toasted them a little more so they weren't too soggy. We split each burrito. When we cut them in half we noticed how much rice was in the burrito. There was barely any meat! We both did not care for the pastor at all. My pastor is in the fridge. Didn't have a good flavor. The asada was great! Very good. Our friend that told us about this place actually said asada hands down is the best. He was right. Very tasty. However there was barely any in the burrito. There was so much rice in the burrito you could call it a rice burrito . There was only a thin area on the outside with a little bit of asada . I ended up throwing a big portion away. I love how they do their asada I just wish there was more of it. I'd love to try their tacos with asada! I would not get a burrito again.

    Stopped off to grab a quick bite on our drive home. The price is great and the food was even…read morebetter. I had the carne asada tacos with everything. The meat had flavor and wasn't dry. The salsa has a kick but just adds to the flavor of the meat. We definitely will be back
