Defenatly not fresh authenic mexican food. I would not recomend this place :(Came in for their Chiles Reyenos and was very disappointed in the quality of food. Their green and red salsa for the chile rellenos and green enchiladas was clearly from a can. The beans were definitely from a few days ago as they had been refried several times, ours were so dry they were salty. When I first got my plate I couldnt even see the chile reyeno, it was so flat, I knew that couldnt possibly a fresh chile reyeno and it was filled with seeds! The Carne asada fries were soggy covered in refried beans, and dried meats. The tacos were cold and hard. The horchata tasted like it was made from a powder mix. Nothing I had tasted fresh nor homemade. It was an utter embarrassment to have Mexican dishes served this way.

First time sitting and eating here.I rate restaurants like these on 3 standard basis, so here goes.1 - Taste: the chips with salsa were not seasoned and the salsa was too watery. the chilaquiles texture was good, the sauce was too thick for me, like it was mixed with flour or something, rice was good on both plates, beans were ok, my wife said she really like the fries, however, if I’m being completely honest, the milanesa tasted like an old piece of dee fried rug (not good). The thickness was like 1 cm.2 - Customer service: the waiter/cashier was kind and courteous. This restaurant seems to have only one person up front and no busser so some tables may not be empty after customers leave.3 - the price was decent, 11 for chilaquiles but around 13 or 16 for milanesa plate. Unfortunately this time the milanesa wasn’t good at all and the price wasn’t worth it for the taste.In essence, other plates can be delicious but ours were a bit underwhelming. Just taking a bit more time to plate the food better can make this place more enticing and please work on the milanesa.

Good was really good, prices were decent, waitress was attentive and friendly. Definitely will come back. Mom didnt like her coffee cold, and I settled for a Jamaica after they didnt have the ingredients to make a vampire. Tortillas are handmade. Delicious. We had milanesa de res, caldo de res and mariscada. All the food was amazing.

I was in the area during brunch and decided to try something new. Huevos Norteños really impressed me. They were very tasty.

I thoroughly enjoyed their Campestre!! It was fresh... The shrimp, octopus, and fish mixed with chili de arbol, onions, and green peppers served with a side of rice, beans, dinner salad and tortillas... For the price I would say it came with a discount. The waitress is not too friendly but at least she was efficient...

Small place, great molcajete, one of the best ones Ive ever had. Top 3, if you ask me, but dont expect attentiveness, their customer service is not their best. We have been here too many times and have become accustomed to just seeing the lady twice to take your order and serve, so make sure to ask for all you need or youll be seating for a while waiting on her... my advice, order to go.

Food is very tasty, clean and well cooked at a great affordable prices. 2 people can eat for $20 or maybe a lil more.They even cook personal requests is not too complicated! I love it

Went here with my wife after traveling in heavy traffic from Six Flags Magic Mountain, we were hungry and in a rush to attend a meeting across the street. The waitress was very professional in all of our needs, the food was extraordinary delicious. I would definitely recommend this place.
