We came here for a nice dinner with some friends. The preferred parking is valet but you can try to self park if you get lucky. The service was great and they were cool, we stayed there talking with our friends until they closed. Not once did we feel rushed. Food wise it was good, I had the Birria tacos and my wife had their enchiladas plate. The drinks were good, the bartender had a heavy hand which I appreciated. I would definitely come back here.

Casual, cozy charming patio for handmade Mexican food, salsa and skinny margaritas aroubd the firepit.

This restaurant has the highest quality Mexican food in OC area. They have relatively long waiting time so plan ahead and reserve a table. Strongly recommend to try their steak fajitas. The interior design is good, the location is kind of easily accessible as it is in the heart of OC. But the area is not much classy (compared to waterfront restaurants in OC). Strongly recommend visiting this restaurant if you would like to try a high quality Mexican food. On my 2nd visit, I asked for guacamole beside the salsa with my tortilla chips. The waiter brought it to me and charged $13 for this guacamole. My burrito was $18. So, this guacamole was a surprise!

Food n drinks were yummy...music was a little loud to be able to talk to anyone at the table. But overall wasn't terrible.

Really great atmosphere. Good beer selection. Beef enchiladas were very tasty, especially liked the smokey sauce. Substituted rice and beans for an amazing arugula salad with red onions and a light lemony dressing.

Great taco Tuesday, it's popular though so plan on valet parking or finding something off lot. Tuesday special is $10 margs. Tacos from $4-$6 (8/2022) really good chips , wish the salsa had a bit more of a kick but the flavor was still good. Had really good service, staff were really nice and accommodating.

Great food and drinks! They are open a little later than usual (11:00) and we had excellent service from Manuel! We chose to sit on the patio which had heaters all around. The Apple bread pudding is amazing, and I don’t normally like bread pudding! I highly recommend this establishment and will be going back again!

The people were so accommodating, attentive, and kind. The food was good, the drinks were amazing! We got the flight as well as a couple of margaritas. All very delicious! We came for mother's day and my mom loved the food/ atmosphere!

The restaurant has a beachy Ensenada feel and has a strong vibrant atmosphere. The wood ceiling and wood and tile floors makes the restaurant a bit loud for a conversation, but it's manageable. Good menu options and an extensive list of beers, wines, and tequilas. My only wish was that there was a self parking option as an only valet and $4 cost seems excessive and a bit over the top.
