“ Stopped here on our drive back from the Redwoods and this place did not disappoint! We didn't have the best food experience in Klamath and Crescent City so this made up for it. We ordered a shrimp enchilada and quesadilla. Both were delicious and the portion size was generous! Very filling and super satisfied! We ordered an extra two quesadillas to go for home! Customer service was wonderful! Two sweet ladies taking care of the customers. If you come here please take time to read the front of their menus. They take pride in their fresh ingredients and don't use animal products in their rice or beans which we appreciate because we eat halal. The cabbage salsa was also great Thank you for a lovely and delicious experience! ”
“ Sooo good! They make their own tortillas, tortilla chips and other delicious food!!! Everything was just sooo good! Definitely worth stopping in if you enjoy yummy Mexican food. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ Hands down the BEST Mexican food in Humboldt County. Fresh ingredients, perfect blend of spices and super friendly staff. Oh and the bathrooms were immaculate. ”
“ Absolutely amazing experience here. We’re in town visiting and decided to stop here for lunch. Service was excellent, space was clean, and we got our food super quick. I ordered the enchilada ranchera with chicken and oh my god, absolutely PHENOMENAL! The rice and beans were 10/10 too! Super tasty dishes that aren’t made with processed ingredients; everything is made in house and sourced locally. ”
“ To be clear this isn't a typical Mexican restaurant. They use cabbage in place of lettuce which is delicious. They also don't do typical combo plates, they offer specialities of the house, a large selection of appetizers and of course fajitas, chili verde plate, other plates etc. Everything tasted fresh. I ordered the Mexican pizza which was huge and well worth the price at 12 bucks. The shell was crisp, sauce was great and was very filling. My wife got potato papusas?, I think that's what they were. They were crunchy and tasted freshly made. She got a Jamaica margarita which was honestly the best margarita I've ever tasted. The owners were VERY friendly, service was spectacular. Definitely has a family owned vibe, employees seem very happy. Will be back soon and frequently. ”
“ Solid, great value! Probably eating lunch here again tomorrow!! Wonderful family atmosphere! Plus check out the pictures a dispenser for verde salsa, some people know how to live!! ”
“ Great food. Just came with a party of 25 on a road trip. The waitress was excellent and made sure every one was happy. Been to many Mexican restaurants this one was really good and worth the stop. I had a beef empanada for the first time. ”
“ I can’t begin to describe the experience of my tastebuds! Ay dios mio!!!! Hands down THE best Mexican food I’ve ever had. You can taste the LOVE in every dish and see the smiling faces of those in the kitchen. Homemade EVERYTHING including the tortillas that taste the way home feels. You will leave with a full belly ( possibly a popped button on your jeans) and a happy feeling. The photo below was the chili relleno burrito. I ate everything else too fast to take pictures ”
