The food is top tier I would say, and I would just keep it at that. The carnitas are the best that I've had in San Diego, and their menudo is flavorful. The price is high, but I don't mind paying it if it's good. I haven't venture to many other food items but I would not recommend the chilaquiles as they have been very soggy. It's doesn't seem to be to busy during the weekdays. But the weekends it is usually packed. A side from the food everything else lacks. Drinks are a bit to high of a price, and only have canned drinks or large aguas frescas which are ok. The service is decent. But boy does the decor if so out-of-date, falling apart or looks unfinished. From the amount of money they are charging you'd think the owner would invest more info the restaurant. But it seems to be the last thing they would want to do. I understand that it's not located in the best area. But a restaurant should not reflect that. Another big downside is it's CASH ONLY. Which in these times is kind of a pain. They do have a ATM machine but looks like the sctechiest one I've seen. I would highly recommend the food but to definitely just pick up only.

One of the best places in town for carnitas… however the fact that they don’t accept card is a huge setback. And the place could use an overhaul with its furniture. Other than that great service! Great food! And Great Red Shelby Ford Truck with white stripes outside 🤔😎

I would have to say these are the best carnitas I've had in a very long time! They are melt in your mouth status. It was my first time trying thise place and i will be back for sure! Customer service was great and they even give you a sample taco while you wait. I got lucky enough to talk to the owner and he decided that i looked like i needed a second sample taco and gratefully accepted. We ordered some platters of rice, beans, masisa and sortida. Everything was amazing!
