Place has big flavor for a great prices, I ordered a Carne asada burrito and their was chicken Tamales with red sauce in them. Burrito had juicy beef, rice, beans, lettuce, and creme packed in the soft shell and I mean packed. Tamales were freshly made that day chicken was flavourful (not dry) with the red sauce in it. Hot sauce was good also (red and green).

Very nice waitress. Definitely an authentic mexican/Honduran restaurant. Very authentic dishes.
The horchata was some of the best we've ever had, and the tortilla chips and queso were as well. The chips were freshly fried and the queso was creamy with a little spice.
The plantains with crema and queso are so good, a nice appetizer or side. The plantains were sweet and soft, with a crispy outside, and the smooth crema and salty queso crumbles paired perfectly.
The carnitas burrito was good and very filling. The carnitas plate was good as well.
The ribs with Cactus pads were delicious, a little spicy, and very authentic. They had chopped rib bones still in the dish, which was different. Making a taco was really fun though, and the corn tortillas are house made.
The refried beans were good, average, but the charro beans were not great. They had chopped hot dogs in them and the broth tasted entirely like hot dog.
Overall a very authentic restaurant, highly recommend the horchata, chips and queso, and plaintians, don't recommend the charro beans.

They improved from last time I visited and ate here, the dishes are almost true recipes to the Latin-Hispanic season. The service sometimes get stuck for so long but the wait really worthy.

Easily the best Steak and Shrimp burrito I've ever had. Honestly an amazing hole-in-the-wall style establishment with 10/10 food.

Drove to the beach on 421 instead of I40 and randomly stopped here. The BEST pico I’ve ever had and the most delicious tacos. I will come back through here every time now. Definitely an old building, but very clean. Don’t let the curb appeal deter you.

Over all great place to eat. Everything I’ve tried has been really good. The only thing lacking is the birria tacos( they need little more flavor, less greasy, and served with the cosume)
