What diners say — our read

An average is a poor summary when the underlying reviews look like this. Where front-of-house comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.3, so it reads as a strength.

Of the 22 rated reviews, 19 sit at four stars or better and 3 at two or below. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (16 of 22). Behind those, speed of service is raised in 18% of reviews (4.0 average).

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (89/100), citing 1 intermediate and 8 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was March 30, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 40% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited food from approved source and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    It was not as good as the last time we went there. The chips tasted burnt (over cooked) and a few other items on my wife's plate.

    What a joke. Packed on May 5, got it. I was a bartender for years, and I NEVER ignored ppl sitting at the bar no matter how busy I was. So for 20 minutes we waited with everyone all around us getting served drinks. This was the absolute WORSE bartender I ever had in front of me. So we got up , I directly told her how she ignored me, then told Olga, an excellent server we've had many times. And left. Don't sit at the bar people if you bare going there.

    Tried this place while in town for a doctors appointment about 4 months ago, loved the food. Decided to go there again today and the food was still just as good. I will say if you are attempting to pay with a pay roll/ prepaid debit card issued by your employer, please beware. Today, with my 2 year old, was treated like I was trying to steal or walk out on my bill… because I asked her to run the card again. Then I said okay I’ll leave my Stanley cup and my leftovers and go get cash out of my car and they barely let me leave. Said the cup wasn’t enough to leave I had to either leave my ID or my phone… even tho they had my debit card and my cup LMAO sort of uncalled for but it is what it is

    Our server Yadi was outstanding! The host was very polite and took us to a large dining room that comfortably sat all seven people in my party. We had two children with us and asked that gthe kids food out right away, and it did. Our food was fresh, our drinks were cold, and the environment was lively. ALSO, the portions and quality were well worth the $!! wish we lived closer because we would frequent this location!

    Great Local Mexican restaurant!!

  • April 7, 2026

    Went 04-06. Ordered the 3 piece meal with rice and refried beans. My choices were Taco, Burrito, & Tostada. Both the Taco and Tostada consisted of just ground beef and lettuce, no tomato or salsa, no cheese, nor anything else. Either my thinking of what a Taco and Tostada should be made with is wrong or they just didn't include the other items. Hard to say if we will visit again as the prices are high and hard to tolerate this kind of mistake. The burrito did have melted cheese on it. (I didn't want to press the issue then) Aside from that, it was tasty. We went around 4:00 p.m.

    Super great service, amazing food, and beautiful restaurant. I got the steak fajita salad, and it was delicious. I definitely would recommend this restaurant!

    Stumbled upon this place. Born and raised in LA and looking for an authentic spot. It’s also kid approved.

    We've been customers of this restaurant for several years, but we had stopped going because of the distance and our budget. A few days ago, we decided to have dinner there since we were nearby, and the experience left much to be desired... Our budget is strict, and we ordered accordingly. The service was fine, but the food disappointed us. We noticed that the portions were smaller (I assume to keep prices down), but the reduction was significant. My husband ordered burritos that looked more like flautas, and I ordered a tamale and a taco, and we both had water to drink (this was our complete order). The tamale was dry and tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave. When we paid, we left a small tip because of what I mentioned earlier, and we left... As we were backing out of the parking lot, we noticed that the manager (we assumed she was the manager of the servers), an older woman with dark black hair, came up to our CAR WINDOW; very politely, she asked if we had any problems with the service, to which we replied that the service was fine but the food left much to be desired, and we told her that our budget was tight. She replied that the servers work for tips, and my husband asked, "So, they don't get a base salary?" and she didn't say anything. We gave her more money because they obviously made us feel extremely uncomfortable and bad since we assumed they don't get a basic wage... but it goes without saying that we won't be coming back here, and after telling our…
