Stopped in for lunch with some friends around 12pm. So glad we slipped in right before the rush! The place was packed by 12:30pm. We all ordered an assortment of tacos and burritos. I had the shrimp burrito which was soo tasty! The filling was all season well and left me satisfied. Next time I will ask for the burrito not to be cut in half as a lot of the filling fell out and it was challenging to eat.
Parking is easy with a good sized parking lot just steps away.
my favorite mexican restaurant in the area. gives free chips and salsa. the only con is that there isn't enough seating for the huge amount of customers they attract
Our family love this place. Its no frills and basic, but the food is great. On a rainy day the food is pure comfort. On a hot day, its so tempting to wash down your food with a couple of cervezas and kick back on the patio, which is always nice and shaded. The Gorditas and the Super Tacos are my favorite. Special mention for the chips and green sauce you get while waiting ( for free). No idea whats in the green sauce, but it is so nice. Service is always good, and the folks are genuinely nice. Theres a reason why its always full of City workers and Firefighters, good food and a good price.
The salsa is amazing very friendly staff and it's fairly clean. Only downside is parking isn't great but it's not terrible either. My favorite is the Gordita perfectly crispy and it has a nice meat to veggie ratio.
This is my go to place for nachos! It's allowed inside, so we usually eat outside. The staff is super accommodating.
got takeout on a sunday night. got 3 dinner plates (3 tacos, rice, beans, chips) and paid $43 with tax. the lengua and steak are my favorites and chicken and pork are good as well. staff is friendly, parking is easy, food is delicious, and prices pretty good...i'll definitely come here again.
Food is great, green sauce is amazing and price is cheap. I don't think they did what everyone else did - adjust prices for inflation. If anything, prepare for a bit wait since this place is so popular.
The bass taco and grilled shrimp burrito are my favorite, highly recommended too.
Really great experience.
Pros
- free chips and green salsa were amazing
- prices are super reasonable
- food was good, my cheese enchiladas were average but the pastor was better
- service was good
-lastly the horchata was really good as well
Cons
- little bit of a trek to get out there since it's deep in Saratoga
- the cheese enchiladas were disappointing
Solid, Solid Meal. Portion size was great, service is relatively quick and nice. Well priced, would recommend for those trying to get a quick meal. The Spicy Vegetarian Burrito is my personal favorite, and the green salsa is amazing.
Amazing tacos!!! I got sea bass taco and super taco with lengua. The green sauce is really good. It's spicy for me but I enjoy it a lot.
My second time here and decided to get to-go. I thought they wouldn't give chips for to-go but they do!!! Service is nice. Everyone is so happy and friendly all the time. It's a small shop with couple tables, but not a lot of people sit down to eat. I would go back for sure
