We stopped here on our way back to Bay Area during our roadtrip. It's a small restaurant with indoor & outdoor seatings and a small bar. We went on Sunday afternoon (around 1pm) and was seated immediately. We ordered fried tilapia, pambasos with beef, and guacamole. The free salsa was delicious and good amount of spiciness - perfect compliment to the crispy chips. The lady who took our order was kind enough to play Cocomelon to entertain for my kid. It took quite some times to get our food but we didn't mind because everything tasted fresh & good! The portions were big for the price. My hubby got the fried tilapia. The fish was crispy and cooked perfectly. He liked the beans and said it was flavorful. He was super stuffed and had to take home half of it. I never had pambasos before so I didn't really know what to expect. My pambasos was huge and filled with lots of filling. The bread was actually dipped in sauce and then grilled which made it super flavorful! The beef inside was chopped into small pieces and yet so flavorful (and had a hint of smokiness). The sour cream brought brightness to the dish. I was also stuffed and had to brought half home. The guacamole was good and fresh. Overall, it tasted authentic and a good restaurant when you're in the area.

We have a 2-year-old son and the front desk lady just sent us a small plate of rice and bean to him when we just got our seat! Their food are fresh and tasty, so I hope you can come to have a nice meal here. My husband told me he will always remember this restaurant. What a great Mexican restaurant:)

My husband and I stopped here for a late lunch after visiting Pinnacles National Park and we cannot wait to come back! I had the fish tacos and my husband had the carne asada and both were to die for. We loved the atmosphere, the service was incredible and the salsa was spicy and delicious!

A gem of a place we came across on our way to Santa Cruz. Great service and Ambiance. Delicious food! Everything from the tortillas to pickles are freshly and deliciously made. The price is very reasonable. Glad we were able to eat there. They make their soups fresh order by order so it will take 25 minutes. Too bad we were in a rush to get back on the road. I know it would have been yummy!

Amazing Mexican food! Came here after a long day of hiking at Pinnacles Natl Park and it was perfect. Friendly and fast service and great pricing. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Free chips and salsa as well! Loved the fajitas and guacamole.

Amazing place! This is a restaurant where you can feel like home. Food is very authentic and veeeeeery tasty. Portions are generous and the host, Carla is a cherry on top. My glasses got a bit damaged and needed a quick fix. I tried to find a super glue in the store nearby but couldn't get it there, so I gave it a chance and asked Carla if she had any glue and if it wasn't a problem, if I could use a drop of it. She searched every inch of the restaurant and at the end, sent someone to buy it for me, without me even realizing. She did not want to accept any payment for that glue and gave it to me in case I would still need it later. That was so, so kind... Thank you for a delicious lunch and your kindness Carla and for anyone who's reading this comment - do not hesitate. Just get in and have something delicious ❤️

Great authentic Mexican food! Everything was a very reasonable price, and it all tasted amazing. Each dish was cooked and seasoned well, though the portions were huge though, so we couldn’t finish our food.

Feels like going to visit your Mexican aunt's house. Incredible food in a cute little house.

This was the best asada plate I’ve ever ordered. The small side of french fries that comes with the plate was such a genius idea. Both types of salsa we had were so good, a little spicy if you are sensitive to spice. And the corn tortillas were nice and thick. We will absolutely be going back next time we are there.

We stopped by to eat after a hike at Pinnacles national park. It was perfect—the food was delicious, the atmosphere laid-back and chill, and the service was efficient. The food took a while to prepare but that was okay because it was made to order. They brought out my almost 2 year old daughter’s plate first, so she didn’t have to wait as long. That level of attention to detail is what made this restaurant even more memorable.
