Start with chips (fresh fried!) salsa and guacamole, then get tacos and fish (I tried both lobster and branzino and they were amazing!). If you prefer meat, ribs are really good too ;) Best mex ever!

Babyback rib pork taco is a must order. Also the branzino is delish. Very accomodating to make the slaw w/o onions so you know its fresh! Jamon & queso also good but salty. Skip the tamale.

2 orders of Carne Asada Tacos and any of the fruit drinks will make an awesome dinner... Random fact this place use to be a shoe 👟 store

Chicken tamale was alright..but the star of my life is the Pork and Green Chile stew. So flavorful and just hits the authentic spot

Excelent service! Good food. Try the swrimp burrito with guacamole. Butternut squash soup and the mandarin Charritos soda.

Opt for the pork-and-green-chile stew. Served on a vintage tin platter, it embodies the restaurant’s hip and homey aesthetic: Read more

Ask for the homemade churros. Not on the menu but delicious, melt in your mouth.

Not as good. But still OK. Prefer the original, just around the corner, when possible. Pork belly is the best there. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The jamon taco was a surprise hit

Weak at best. Tacos cater to Hollywood folk who aren't willing to adventure for the real deal. Saving grace is the BYOB (but I wasn't drinking so...) and that it's two tacos per order.

Taco were good but they are very small so be prepared order more sides.
