Great Mexican restaurant, incredible food and reasonable prices we love the guacamole and Caso Fundido to start and they make the tortillas fresh every day and bring them out nice and hot (corn/flower

Rick RogersJune 18, 2016Love it all. The drinks, the food, happy hour, live music, indoor or out. Our custom nachos include pulled pork. Mango Margs are refreshingly tasty
Rochelle McCollumApril 16, 2019This was my first time eating at this Restaurant and the Mexican food was great and we had the best waiter ever and his name is Diego. He was very friendly and attentive. I will go back. 😊🌮🍮
Cynthia BernyeaJuly 25, 2019It’s fabulous love it . They have the best with Salvador Hernandez knows his business here!
Color Ink BookJanuary 11, 2015Was happy with everything, Cadillac margarita, taco sampler and quesadilla! Service was good as well!
Try the nachos for a shared dinner! Lots of tastiness and skip adding beef or chicken (the chorizo is plenty).
My favorite Mexican place ever!! Great service, amazing good and fabulous bartenders. Ask fix Jessica or Fidel to fix your drink.
Their refried beans are bot vegetarian friendly, so watch out! Otherwise, they have great food. Can't go wrong with Sopa Azteca :)
Michael ConteNovember 17, 2014The arroz con pollo was amazing here and really great atmosphere for a cheap price!
Natalia SinaiDecember 27, 2014My favorite things to eat here are the burritos and tacos there DELISH.
Napaporn ThompsonMarch 25, 2018Everyones food was greasy. I guess a positive way to say it, 1/8 inch of grease on the plate and I a 1/8 inch of grease with me in the body. I never get heartburn at my local Mexican restaurant.
Kim DruschDecember 26, 2011Perfect matgarita. Order 3 Amigo with Don Julio Anejo & make it skinny with agave. Freaking awesome!
- Go with the Mole, some of the best around.....Love it!!!
The Enchiladas Del Mar is fabulous and of you order a Don Julio, go large!! Better value and u r only going to want more ;-)
- Chuck ClarkFebruary 10, 2014Fish burrito is big, but disappointing. Too much of the Mexican cooking oil. My wife thought her California Taco was disappointing. Chicken was probably prepackaged dish heated up in a microwave.
Next to Javier's in Newport, Irvine or Cabo....this place has the best Mexican food and atmosphere.
Get the Mango Margarita...tastes like fresh mangos. Pollo Fundido is also a winner
Jennie Carson HildreAugust 16, 2013Servers are pretty annoyed that they have to be there. Tequila selection was a little lacking. But chips where really good though!
Shannon ReedJanuary 11, 2010Their gynormous margaritas are amazing. For added enjoyment, add an additional shot of tequila.
Les KollegianDecember 27, 2011Food and service is mediocre at best. Cadillac margarita is a good call. Get the large.
