    Kit the owner is the Man! The food here is great and you can tell Kit (owner) has a passion for food and his customers. Highly recommend!

    Wasn't a good experience which may have made the food of basic. Took 30min to get my food turns out that they lost my ticket. My order was also wrong. I will try again because it looks like they make good food. I'll give it one more try before I never come back.

    First time here, grew up a few blocks away. I asked for something on the menu that I couldn't back home in DC, and the manager knew just what to pick: he went for the torta.

    I'm no torta expert, but I've had a few, and it was the best I've ever had by a long shot. Toasted 'bun', lightly charred inside, a bit like a smoky Texas Toast, delicious on its own but the char also helped to hold the sandwich together.

    The side sauce of chili oil was powerful and bright and excellent, brought back delightful Chengdu memories.

    Busy on Christmas Eve, yummy horchata, I'll be back next time I'm in Orange County.

    If you're looking for good mom and pop Mexican food spot, this is the place! I think the ownership may have changed recently and the food has gotten even better. I always get the carne asada burrito, wet (green sauce). Delish! It's a large portion and always serves as 2 meals for me. I also recently tried their cucumber juice too and it was really good. Will be back soon!

    Their 7 seas soup is AMAZING. Hubby and I usually get that, pozole, carne asada or fish tacos. Everything we've had here has been great. Our go-to spot for mexican food.
