Centrally located within a shopping center near the Newbury connector haha. From the outside the place gives off old school taco bell vibes in the best possible way! They have a nice seating area inside as well as an outdoor patio. When you walk in you are blasted with the pictures of all the food and drinks they have to offer. There is no mistaking what you are going to get when you order. The interior is nothing special but they do have big TVs and the dodgers were on so I dont have much to complain about. They offer a lot of drinks like a Michelada or Camaronzito or even a Cuerito not your run of the mill choice for a walk up mexican place. Once you order they bring the food and drinks to your table which is a nice touch.
Food we ordered:
Free Chips and Salsa
Chips were crispy and delicious they have a really good flavor
green salsa
pico di gallo
spicy salsa
Hard Taco Combo 3 Tacos:
Shells - Deliciously crispy and home-made
Refried beans - run of the mill nothing special
Mexican rice - Better then most a lot of flavor
Shredded Chicken - delicious sauce was very good
Carnitas - my least favorite of the three but overall a decent carnitas taco
Shredded Beef - THIS IS IT, almost like eating a short-rib delicious and savory
I highly recommend the SPICY salsa really enhances the flavor
Shredded Chicken Burrito
Again the chicken is really flavorful and packed with the rice and beans this is a good choice
Drinks:
Horchata - decent not overly sweet
Michelada - Very good and very refreshing
Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Definitely a great local choice run by a great staff.
Very, very good.
Excellent food, welcoming atmosphere. Fast, friendly service. Delicious salsa bar.
If you’re seeking Mexican food in NP, this is the spot. Get a burrito; can’t go wrong.
Overall very impressed with this establishment. Easy stop off the 101.
Good people, good food A+
Thank you guys!!
A lot of good authentic Mexican food. Everything I've eaten there has been good. Sometimes the meat can be a bit fatty, but it's usually seasoned well. The only complaint I have is that when I order food, they usually tell me it'll be ready in 15 minutes, but when I get there 15 minutes later, I end up sitting around 30 minutes or longer waiting for my food. This happens the majority of the time and has resulted in me ordering food from there much less frequently.

I made the 20 min trip to get a bowl of menudo and a tostada and let me tell you, the trip is worth it. The prizes are fair and the food is great, the owners are there most of the time and they like to take care of the customer. I highly recommend it
Most of the reviews are good reviews, there were a little that almost made me pass it up. But the fact that the owner or manager responded made me feel like it was worth a try and I’m happy I did. Like already commented the staff is very friendly, no one seems to be just standing around everyone including the manager/ owner are staying busy. It was impressive. The restaurant was clean and the salsa bar is wonderful! Not to mention the chips are great. Hate it when places have terrible chips. My burrito was huge and made to order. I’ll be back!

Great portion size good price. Overall pretty tasty the meat was eight out of 10. They offered pineapple on the burrito, that was new, I didn’t try it but next time I think I will.
This place is a real authentic tasting place. They even will offer to wrap the biggest burrito they have in bacon and deep fry it. I recommend here for a real meal.
This place is really really really good!! Best Micheladas and food!! Menudo and Tacos are my favorite!! Deep fried Ice cream for dessert!! Love it!!!!!!!
