Love the dog friendly patio!

Service was good even though super busy. Food is ok. Seemed to be better in the past. Maybe it was just what I ordered. Servers and food runners were very nice and acommandating.

Happen to be in Corona Del Mar and decided to give it a try...great find! Chips were hot and fresh,salsa had nice flavor, rice was excellent and our Burrito was very good excellent service! We will definitely come back next time for dinner.

Had to try it while in town for vacation and was not disappointed. Absolutely delicious food. Staff of awesome, very helpful, friendly, and over the top. I'll be back again the next time I'm around.

It's not bad Mexican but it is also not Impressive. It's a great meal for the price. The ambiance is really nice and it feels like there's a lot of history in the building. My wife and I came for a quick lunch and they had a great lunch Special. Wasn't too crowded when we went. We'll probably stop by with friends but it's not on our radar otherwise

Very beautiful patio and service was on point. I had chili rellenos, son had chicken hard tacos and g son had child’s burrito which was adult size. Very friendly. We had early dinner on Sunday eve. It was beautiful.

Stopped by for a light lunch and was really surprised how much we liked the food. The appetizer that we ordered had a little bit of everything so it gave me a good idea as to what the full plates would be like. The Chimichangas were the star though, crispy and juicy. I would highly recommend this place for breakfast lunch or dinner. Cheers

Food was great and the drinks were amazing. We had a large party and they were very busy so service took a little time which was understandable given the circumstances, but I will definitely go back. Everyone was very polite and helpful, just very busy.

Just classic dishes done pretty well...decent price...ok setvers

We’re from out of town visiting and on a random drive I saw this place for a split second and said “i bet that place is good”. The next night we ordered takeout, WOW! Some of the best Mexican food out there. You can tell they have NAILED their recipes. I got the Santa Barbara Enchilada and my husband got the chicken chimichangas. Both super delicious and very authentic. Would highly recommend!!
