“ Just moved to menifee, was looking for my go-to restaurant/bar, and i believe i found it. My food was absolutely delicious! First time time here, and I was not disappointed. My waitress was very nice and was on it with refills of drinks and chips! I love the portion size of the meals. Lunch portion was enough for my teenager. ”
“ The food was delicious! The person who helped us was very informative for us to make the choices of what we wanted and not just give us whatever. The salsa was great flavor and the 3 types of tacos we got were all greatly seasoned and they even took a special food allergy request with no issue. Definitely recommend coming here for not only the food, but the simple fact that they showed they cared about their customer and their needs. ”
“ It’s not everyday you can find a go to place tacos but this place has beat all expectations! We found this place on an advertisement for the area and we were craving some tacos to check it out. Their menu is a typical Mexican place with tons of options and they have some great specials for tacos. We got a few tacos types, all the plates come with rice and beans. Fantastic choices and taste and some great salsa to mix it. Reasonable prices too! ”

“ Gabriela is the best waitress ever! Very professional, considerate and kind. She forgot to ask a few things but no one is perfect. The food was extremely excellent and fair priced good specials. Big burritos and large portions. Clean Restaurant and Restroom. Very nice employees and great cooks. Juice expensive but delicious mix of orange juice and cranberry juice. Gabriela was happy to accommodate. ”
“ First time here. I had the Carnitas plate and my son had the Chile Verde plate. We both enjoyed our meals. Chips and salsa was also good. Our waitress was awesome along with the service. We came for dinner but we plan to visit them for breakfast very soon. We will be back. Update 8/16/24 Breakfast. Went to breakfast here for the first time and it was excellent. They had different sides options for me to keep my carb count low due to my diabetes. Excellent server and I had the best carnitas omelette. We will be back. ”
