“This place is not only amazing with their food but their customer service is outstanding. I recommend trying something you never usually do and you won't be disappointed. I tried the sope, never had before and now I am hooked. Such a great spot.”
— Roger Dodger★★★★★
“Food was really good 👍 we got the caldo de pollo , caldo de res and a chicken burrito 🌯 everything tasted like homemade 😋”
— Oscar Mota★★★★★
“I drove 40 mins in LA traffic to try this place. While the service was solid and food wasn't bad, hard to give it more than a 3/5 for the buffet. Having spent much time all over Mexico, I found the food here just salty and lacking depth. Nice Enough people and decor to give it a try... maybe my taste buds were off today.”
