maricel mariscal I love everything about this place! The food is so good that its hard to decide on what to order. Ive had the flautas plate, Sopes, fish tacos, Pineapple margaritas and everything is on point. The service and presentation and atmosphere is outstanding. I highly recommend.

John Elmer LOVE IT! This place hit the trifecta of great atmosphere, food and service! The tlacoyes were awesome! Carne asada was super tender and cooked perfectly. My enchiladas was delicious. I really loved the rice and the refried beans. Our server was friendly and helpful. The whole feel inside was warm and friendly. We found out this is their 2nd restaurant which didn’t surprise me since it was so good.

Michael Mourkos If I lived nearby I would eat here everyday. Amazing service and the best breakfast Ive had in a while. Eggs were amazing, bacon crisp and flavorful. Staff was friendly, courteous and accommodating. Food portions large enough to feed an army. Would be my pleasure to revisit this location.

Saif Ample portions provided so youll definitely leave full or with leftovers. All staff were friendly and helpful along with a clean environment to enjoy. It looks like a great place to get a drink and watch a game. We were just passing through on our road trip and were happy we did. Yummy

Cody Fullmer We loved the tacos de guisado. I wasn’t familiar with the guisado style but it’s apparently different kinds of fillings on a bigger tortilla (we chose flour and it was a really good choice, they seemed homemade and fresh). My son loved the birria (even with the goat in it) and the pork with cacti. My daughter loved the machaca and the bean and cheese.

Castillo Sr First time here and after a long day in Mexicali and the temperature was unbearable we hurried up and crossed the border. Truthfully we where hungry and we just had to get out of the heat. We wanted some good Italian food. Both my wife and I where happy w our food and drinks, we ordered lunch for two, this place did not disappoint. We would definitely recommend to friends and we will be back as well.

Brian Frang We got there and the restaurant was absolutely packed. Despite this, they managed to seat us in about 5 minutes. The food was excellent, with MASSIVE portions, service was excellent. Ive worked in the restaurant industry for more than 15 years and Im hard to impress. I was VERY impressed.

Lizzay B We had dinner at this restaurant. The food with the price was really good for East coast folks like us, our waitress was friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is nice. The service is a bit slow but maybe they were understaffed and at that time more people coming in. Overall we happy and hopefully next time we’re in the area, we’ll definitely eat here again.
