This is a small authentic Mexican food restaurant. They only have eight tables, so they can get kind of busy during lunch hour. They’re open for breakfast lunch and dinner. I’ve been here serval times in the food has always been outstanding. Today I ordered two Carnitas tacos and chile relleno. The Chile rellano’s here are very very good. The tacos also were good. The restaurant is clean and so is the restroom.

The beans here are almost as good as my Mom's, which means you cant go wrong with any plate or burrito offering. Casual atmosphere with portraits portraying milestones in Mexican history on the walls. Not the best pastor or chili verde we've had but like I said "those beans are memorable."

Great little place for authentic food and friendly service. The salsa bar is the best that I have ever experienced. Mild to hot there are flavors for everyone! The prices are perfectly reasonable for any budget. Crunchy taco platter with a side of chips and pickled jalapeños are my favorite! Owners and management always express how much they appreciate my business. Love this place!

Great crispy bacon breakfast burrito with optional cilantro, onions, and tomato. Delicious. Mild salsa was also very good, just a little too watery.

Legit Mexican food in Fillmore. We ordered a variety of tacos and a bean & cheese burrito. Everything was seasoned well. The carne asada was made with excellent quality meat becaise there was zero bone, gristle, or fat. Just 100% soft, tender deliciousness. Salsas were good, too. Would definitely recommend!

Authentic Mexican food. The menudo on weekends is excellent. The various salsas are excellent and have not been "dumbed down" to appease people that can't handle hot salsa. There is grades of hotness. Their choices of meats for tacos is very good
