Tasty fish used for their fish burritos. Juice and horchata is freshly made. The staff seems nice but a little tired (they’re always swamped!) They even have a nice little garden area in the back of the restaurant for outdoor eating under big, beautiful trees. Parking is the only issue- we get the sense that employees might be using up spots reserved for customers, but we could be wrong. Overall, they use fresh ingredients and their portions are generous. Haven’t had a disappointing visit yet!

Fajitas combo had shrimp in it, which was a nice surprise. No avocado in the fajitas plate, but beans, rice, bell peppers and lettuce/tomato. The tortillas taste home made which was great.They are good with special requests with changes to the burritos which are a good size.

We are traveling to the Standford area for healthcare. My dad and brother recommended this place and I am disappointed to say that I don't see why. This was the worst restaurant experience that my kids and I have had in a long time. We were greeted by a woman who just starred at me, without a greeting and without asking us what we were wanting to order, so I just had to start talking. She took down my order correctly but when we received it had onions and salsa in it. Spicy food really bothers my stomach and my two sons were going to eat it too, and they are 6 and 2 and don't like spicy either. My son tried his because we only saw onions and he even tried the raw onions and he said that it was okay and that he would try it. But mine had salsa, jalapenos, and pickled veggies which looked beautiful but I just can't eat spicy food. So we went back inside and there was a different, younger woman at the register and she also had no greeting and gave me an attitude the whole time asking for my ticket, seemingly not believing me that I had purposefully ordered no onions or anything spicy. The cook was apologetic and I was just happy to get food that I could eat and that I had already paid for. I then ordered some rice but the same woman charged me for rice and beans giving me an attitude the whole time. My tacos were really good, ended up having to give them to my 2 kids. My two year old cried when he ate the "Meaty Fries". Too spicy, wasn't just the onions that were spicy. My tacos were not worth the kind of service that we received. I will not be reccomending this restaurant to anyone. No one should have to deal with the degree of rudeness that I went through with my children. Quite disturbing. And it wasn't even because the ordered got made wrong, it was the attitude from the moment that I ordered our food to us leaving the restaurant for the second time. And lastly, maybe try not answering the company phone for a personal call and then ignoring your customer who is standing right in front of you..!

Tried their chicken mole with rice and beans, and two asada tacos. Food was so delicious!

We ordered recently , and my Father got very sick. The food tasted old and that night my Dad ended up going to the hospital with an inflamed stomach and barely being able to breath. WILL NEVER GET FOOD FROM THERE AGAIN!!

Solid Mexican food at solid prices. Come here for a quick meal to just to satisfy that craving for good food. Love the atmosphere and the service is great as well.

We were hungry for carne asada soft tacos and beef enchiladas. We went to the restaurant for take out and no one else was in the store? We were excited to eat at the comforts of home but the carne asada and the beef enchiladas had alot of fat in the meat. My go to place is Pancho Villa in San Mateo. Next time I'll have to make the drive there. Disappointed with the quality of meat...

Excellent spot for a grab and go lunch. Must try this place at least once. Fresh ingredients and pleasant service. Not big on appearance but the food makes up for it.
