FOODThe food is hit or miss. The dishes varies in terms of seasoning, portion sizing, and how well it is cooked even if you order the same menu item. I feel as though I can no longer rely on the great food I had grown up eating. Taking pricing into consideration, I would appreciate more consistency with their food. Some of the menu items are big portions that are meant to be shared with 2-3 people. SERVICEAlso hit or miss but I have noticed that the larger my party is, the better customer service is. Perhaps the more you spend the better you are treated. AMBIANCE The painted mural of the mariachis was beautiful. Sometimes they have a band, karaoke, or mariachis. You can even request the band or mariachis to play a song of your choosing if they know it.I will likely be back because my family has been coming here for years. It has become a tradition for us to eat here when we have family visiting us. Hopefully my next visit will be better.

If you're craving some good Mexican food, I suggest coming here! I've been here a few times, always in the morning to beat the rush. We came on a Sunday around 8:30AM and were sat right away. We got a torta de carnitas (minus onions & tomato), salpicón, and a tostada de ceviche. My father in law LOVED the salpicón, even said it was the greatest thing he's ever ate! The tostada de ceviche was also amazing and the torta was very yummy. The bread for the torta was also perfectly toasted and fluffy. The severs are very kind and attentive. The music is great, sometimes we even get lucky and catch some live music.

This place is a hidden gem! I came here for lunch one day and I tried their quesadilla camarones and it's absolutely delicious! It's very filling, and the shrimp tasted fresh and there's plenty of yummy ooey-gooey cheese. Overall, I highly recommend it. Prices are decent, credit cards accepted, and there's plenty of parking.

This place was disgusting along with the service not to mention everything is over priced! Our waitress had poor customer service. I would honestly go to Taco Bell instead of this disgusting dirty place.

Highly recommend this place is off the hook!!! The food is bomb. The vibe is cool. It's overall amazing! Do yourself a favor by ordering the Mole plate and the mojarra frita with Diablo sauce on the side. HOMEMADE CORN TORTILLAS IS A MUST The service is great. What are you waiting for hop in your car and get going.

100% Authentic Mexican Food. Can't compare to other Mexican restaurants in the OC area. It's a must go to spot.

I tried this place out with someone that used to be a regular 20 years ago. We saw the 3.3 stars but tried it anyways. Well, I do believe the 3 stars is accurate now. The place was nothing fancy and looked like a Mexican restaurant. Be careful when you walk around if you are tall because there are low hanging TVs. The music was too loud and the lighting was so dim we had to use our phone flashlights to see the menu. The service was not great. It was below average. They did not check on us much.In regard to food and drinks, the drinks were overpriced and not anything out of the ordinary. We had the spicy shrimp (there are only 6) and the cost is 21.99 for the meal. The sauce is great though. The shrimp burrito was good. The fajitas were average. The best part was the chips and salsa. Overall, I would not be back, but glad we tried it. Our bill was about $115.

If you are craving mariscos this place is great! They have karaoke with Chiquis on some days, and live band other days and comedy shows. The service is always on point. The ladies are super nice. The food is always fresh and great. You get quantity and quality! 100% recommend and hand made tortillas. I always get piña de mariscos. Arroz marinero. Botana de camarones dinamita. Always fire.
