“ Omg. So food! Over the week I stayed nearby i had lunch three times here --- veggie tacos, a veggie burrito and cheese quesadilla. All so authentic, delicious, amazing. Fair prices and big portions. ”
“ Huge fan of this place! Def recommend getting a side of their marinated carrots for a dollar! It's spicy and tangy - perfect compliment to the tacos. I got the veggie taco and it's so good - simple ingredients but great flavor. Everyone who works there is so nice and so happy. I love coming in ”
“ Excellent food. This js a hidden gem at mission beach that we discovered a while back and we keep coming here anytime we are in town. Highly recommend for great authentic Mexican food experience. ”
“ We got a two California burritos and a bean and cheese. The burritos were all delicious! While eating them I said "this is gotta be one of the best California burritos I've ever had". Their red salsa was sooo flavorful. Normally red salsa is spicy but this one wasn't too spicy, yet it was so good. The green was also very good and had a spice to it but it wasn't the type that burns your mouth and overwhelms the food. Good service. And the pricing was very fair considering they're right by the beach. Please keep your pricing the same, everywhere else is too expensive. ”
“ Originally we were going to have a quick lunch at another restaurant but there was no parking available so we happened to find this place nearby and it had parking. We ordered chicken quesadilla, steak ranchero, fish burrito and Eggs with bacon. All were fresh, tasty and delicious. ”
