This is the best Mexican restaurant in southern California. Everything is made from scratch , you will feel like you are in Mexico at your mom’s house . Hand made corn tortillas pair with the birria and consomé. Portions are very generous . If you are visiting Southern California it’s a must to be on your list. Ah and if you are from Guadalajara they even have torta ahogadas ..

I give 5 stars for the whole restaurant experience, staff was polite and very respectful. Food was worth the wait, everything fresh and up to the point, loved the authentic plates and simplicity of the restaurant design. Prices are fair and a $2.5 taco hits the spot as well. I had the birria plate with some salsa roja and I tell you that was very good, meet tender, portion good enough to fill a grown man! Will be back and recommend you try them out!

The food quality is excellent, making it feel like a home-cooked meal. The salsas are exquisite, and the horchata was perfectly made.

So glad my daughter and I stopped here. We each had breakfast burritos and they were excellent. Not only delicious, but big. We both tried the hot salsa and liked it. The atmosphere was very inviting. The service was the best I've received in a very long time. The server was very attentive and sweet. The cook came out and asked if we were enjoying our meal. He was interested in our feedback. We both decided we would be back even though we don't live in the area. It was definitely worth the effort of finding parking. Don't pass this place up PS, the cook let us try the birria. That's what I'm ordering next time. Yum

Best Tacos Ever! Antonio and his family have cultivated the perfect Mexican restaurant. Very high quality food with nice atmosphere. Also an absolutely mesmerizing painting from Bolivia. Very thoughtful people who provide an incredible customer experience. This is my new favorite spot in the valley.
