“ It’s been years since the last time I came here. Now we’re adding this to our stop every time we visit from Utah. We sat at the bar booths with our kid. Ordered a couple of margaritas. Food came in a very timely manner. Every one of them was delicious. Good vibes, good food. Soooo good! Will definitely come back. ”
“ This place is amazing all the way around! I did not have high hopes given what you see from the street and plus it is under construction. Do not let this fool you however. There is plenty of parking in the rear. The inside is not undergoing construction. We had the complimentary chips and salsa for our starter. I've had much better salsa in other places but would rate this one a 6 out of 10. It wasn't stellar but it was good. My wife and I decided to split our traditional chimichanga. This one came in two smaller chimey's that were each cut in half. When I tell you it was delicious, that is an understatement. The way that they flavored the shredded chicken was divine. Even the rice on the plate with seasoned in the way I've never tasted before and was very, very good. The refried beans added nicely to the completeness of the dish. For you diet Coke lovers, know that they have Coke zero and not diet Coke. With everything being so good, you would think there was a place where they skimped. Well I found it. If Mexican food runs through you like many people, you may choose to visit the bathroom afterwards. Just know that the toilet paper is darn near sandpaper in quality. You have been warned! ”
“ Best in Long Beach food dranks and services great. Got the chicken super wet burrito bomb, Henny pineapple margaritas (not on the menu) bomb chips and salsa bomb.. the Guacamole needed some work taste like more lemon/lime not enough seasoning but we made it work. ”
“ Great food with great service, highly recommended! Had the pollo con mole and lawd Jesus Juan Gabriel, it nearly brought a tear to my eye. Definitely coming back! ”
“ Food was delicious and plentiful. Waitress was very attentive, didn't have to ask for anything. My husband ordered fajitas mixed which was a large amount of food, it came with a side of rice, beans, guacamole and sour cream. I ordered the molcajete mixes which also came with a side of rice, beans and home made corn tortillas. Nothing was rushed, very chill atmosphere. Would recommend. ”
