We sat outside and the weather was perfect. I had lemonade and a grilled chicken burrito. It was very good and a little too big for my stomach. I took half of it home and had it for dinner. The entire meal was delicious. The staff was friendly and very attentive to our needs. Great place and within walking distance from my home.

Went there for Saturday brunch. We ordered Jimmy’s SA fillet from breakfast section and Fish tacos from lunch section. We loved the taste of fillet but tacos was not as expected. They served complementary coffee at the beginning. Staffs were amicable and we also loved the interior.

We had an amazing lunch here! The food was outstanding! We ordered crispy tacos with beans and rice and the carne asada plate. Food was fresh, delicious and very flavorful.
We chose to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Our waitress was great and checked on us a few times refilling our drinks and making sure all was well. We highly recommend this place. Such great food and service.

Had a very nice lunch at this long-standing neighborhood cafe. I've eaten here many times over the years and have never had a bad meal. The shrimp taco salad and a shredded chicken quesadilla were delicious and a great value. The menu has a great selection of authentic Mexican and other dishes. The sidewalk tables are also great for people-watching. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I recommend you give them a try.

I am not a big fan of Mexican food personally but I honestly quite like the food I had. The food is good and the price is fair. Portions are huge! The atmosphere is nice, cozy and it feels like those small and authentic restaurant in Mexico. I just would say that my burrito was very watery that I was not able to eat with my hands, besides that the taste was good! I just gave 4 stars for the service since I felt pressured to pay the check and leave the table for the next client, there was actually someone waiting for us to leave to clean the table up. But this is a very good place for Mexican food overall
It is located between Bankers Hill and Hillcrest at the 5th avenue.

Really tasty and fresh. The chips and salsa were fresh and amazing. Fajitas were very filling for two. Service was friendly and place was clean. Nice location. Easy parking.

The food was great and our server was amazing. He was very attentive and despite them being short staffed we never had to wait for service. I had a tamal and fish taco combo. The tamal was great, flavorful and not too dry like a lot are. The fish taco was good, but a tad bit fishy. Overall a great experience, would definitely come back
