    Don’t let the modest setting fool you. The food is exceptional. I favor the chipotle fish burrito and it’s one of the best I’ve had. The place is always busy but the wait is never long. The staff are exceptional and be sure to tip them well.

    I ordered two burritos and a side of guacamole. The burritos were $9 something each, a lot smaller size. but taste ok, not great. The guacamole is full of onions, tomatoes and cilantro. There is barely any avocado in it. It tasted awful. And the guacamole was $6!!! The total with tax was close to $30. This place is a rip-off.

    My wife and I are from San Fernando which is just north of Los Angeles. We were on vacation in San Juan Capistrano and we were looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant. I googled Mexican restaurants near us and a few popped up. I looked at the photos and read some of the reviews. We tried a different Mexican restaurant and they were good. A few nights later I wanted Mexican food again that wouldn't put a big dent in my wallet. So my wife and I went for a drive and we were so so happy that we did. My wife had the mole burrito and I got an asada taco and a tripas taco and carnitas taco. My wife loved her mole burrito and I loved my taco's (you can get hard shell taco's if you want) . We asked for the hottest salsa that they had and it was spicy 🔥 and delicious 🤤. Needless to say we got some tacos to go. We were on vacation for another 4 days. The morning that we left to come back home. We decided to stop and get some food for our drive home. I got a carnitas burrito and my wife got her mole burrito and we got some extra spicy salsa. We ate some in traffic on the way home and it made it so much better. If you love authentic Mexican food you have to try this place. You won't be sorry

    Great authentic dining experience and food. The al pastor was a 5/5. Great taste and authenticity. The nachos were 3/5 and I'll tell you why. Nachos pro: good amount of meat, jalapeños, and tomatoes/onions. Also, amazing prices!!Nachos con: I thought it could use more beans, and the good kind not the canned. Also, they skimped on the cheese. It was white shredded cheese melted, I like the Mexican blend yellowish cheese, so more of a preference, but it was very light on the cheese. The nachos weren't bad, they were fresh enough and I am not complaining but I didn't feel the need to keep eating them. Overall, I will come back to try more menu items, get more al pastor tacos, but I will skip the nachos from here.
