    Me and my family came and had lunch and it’s the best authentic Mexican food we have had in a while!! They even let us bring our dog on the patio for lunch! They allowed us to specially customize our son’s meal and he’s a picky little guy. Such a wonderful atmosphere and experience, we loved it so much and will be back!!!

    Classic hidden gem in Santa Ana , very clean and very pleasing. The Tacos are amazing and the taco plate is even better. Delicious salsas for the liking of everyone. One of my favorite places to get a bite of traditional Mexican food. I recommend the Asada Taco Plate. Small location but they know how to treat guest!

    This place is so good. I had a little bit of everything and it all tasted great. It's a small little restaurant but comfy. The staff is amazing. Super friendly, and knowledgeable of their menu. Made great recommendations. The food came out quickly and service was 10 stars. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.

    I was really surprised the tacos were pretty good! Only because I haven't seen $2 tacos in 2025. They were a tad smaller than small. But lots of flavor, the quality of meat is decent. All the sides were packed nicely for togo and fresh even the sauces was freshly made. Sauce : - green sauce is not spicy but smells like jalapenos. -red not too spicy, has a smokey smell Both asada and El pastor were very good. And I got a side of $3 fries, it's the think chunky fries. A little saggy in the bag but I'm sure it's fine if you eat it there, I got it togo. Overall id come back nice quick lunch or dinner. It's a very small restaurant on the corner of the neighborhood. Small parking lot and a few tables inside.

    I've been looking at this place for a while. They have Taco Tuesday for $8.99, not a bad price for a quality plate. Ordered the Carne, Pastor, and Pollo (Beef, Pork, and Chicken... Gringo) these came with so much cilantro and onion, it was great! The carne had a great char to it, the pastor was cook just right, and the pollo had great flavor. Another good place with an amazing menu that you have to come back for more! And that's the plan..... P.S. Clean inside and out. Parking isn't the best. I think eight stalls in total and one is for handicap parking.
