This family owned Mexican restaurant lives up to the "Hype" Large Taco for 4.99. I had to cut mine in three to eat it. We went before service this morning. Thank you, Jesus

Very tasty and affordable breakfast plates, plus their specials come with tea or coffee. Service was good. I will say their carne guisada was on the salty side as were the charro beans. Their refried beans were slightly sour as if lemon had been added. They were still good, not past date. Their beef enchiladas were ohhh sooo delicious!!!! Their breakfast tacos on special were delish too and came with tea or coffee. Their tea is unique, almost as if mango or tamarindo had been infused in the mix. Very good tea as a result.

I stopped at this place for a quick taco and coffee and man..the taco was huge and delicious. I think they need more variety on they breakfast menu though. Pero ese dia Sali feliz como una lombriz..!

If you're looking for good Mexican food at a reasonable price, this is the place for you. The staff is friendly and food is tasty. Portions are large and the pricing won't empty your wallet. This is a family run business, Alicia is one of the kindest people I've met. Please stop by if you're hungry and say hello. Highly recommend!

5 star place for breakfast / brunch. Although I have no idea if they're even open anymore because they never are anytime I ever stop by that area. This was my go to place for breakfast since I was a kid. Haven't eaten here since being back in the valley as they're literally never open.
