I love this place! It’s always such great tasting food when I go and eat. Their food usually has a great amount of portion for what’s ordered. Love the wet burritos with green sauce (salsa verde) and the steak fries! I’ve been going here for years and my only complaint is the parking lol. No parking but paid parking is almost always filled up or paid street parking. Plan ahead as you’ll be driving a bit to find parking but the food is worth the wait!!! Great place to eat at. And have restrooms inside as well.

The Rice okay. Flautas were wet from what they put on it so it fell apart. A big menu.The cheese Steak fries didn't have much steak nor cheese but we're probably the best thing I had. Employees were nice. Not crowded only 3 customers when I was there. Plenty of seating available. Does have 20oz bottles of coke zero so that bumped up the stars on the review. Also they have fountain drinks. Parking across the street if not available in front.

Wonderful customer service, & even better food! Best Mexican place in Alameda without a doubt! Love coming here

Decided to close at 7:55 instead of at 8:00 after trying hard to get there before they closed, pathetic, disgusting, rude, and garbage service, not to mention it was probably a sign anyway to stop going there, the food (if you want to call it that) wasn't very good to begin with, so the hell with this place, stay away, losers!!

Food is always homestyle quality satisfaction with range of varying prices to fit alternate budgets and tastes. They put the love in the food for sure. ??

Great vegan / vegetarian options. Rice and beans are vegan. Great service, quality food. Ask for the habanero sauce on the side, it is great.

It was the okayest Mexican food I've ever had. Flavor wasn't there. Service was good. Staff was friendly. Restaurants a bit on the dirty side, but not terrible. The biggest gripe was just the lack of flavor in the food. Still not the worst Mexican food I've ever had. It was just the okayest.

Been coming here since high school, always get the chimichangas. Quick & tasty, with super friendly service

My favs are Chile Verde wet burrito and the taco salad. Ask about their healthy choices like black beans and green tortillas

I used to be a frequent customer , for my family as well as any event at work whereas catering was needed .About a year ago they hired Luis , had zero phone skills , Messes up orders constantly . Hers the thing , we ALL have had new jobs , we learn and grow to hopefully be the team member that drives in more business, this one simply does not care or rather is afforded the ability to not care . I spent a lot of money at their establishment Over the past 7 years , I want my money back for last order . It was wormy , and missing items , charged for stuff I did not order and didn’t even get that ?
