Food was amazing! It's so rare to find a torta Ahogada spot with authentic taste. Definitely best one I've tried in all over SoCal
You can never go wrong with the torta ahogada. And let's not forget the. Refreshing Cazuela. Los Cantaritos ni se digan.
Must try torta hogada! Hands down spicy and delicious! Combo is the way to go with this torta.
Looooooveeee this Gem!!! Stopped by just by driving by and went back and ordered on Uber ever since!! All their food is satisfying. Tastes just as if you were in Guadalajara. They serve the tacos dorados with meat and sauce just like they do in Mexico. I don't think I've seen that elsewhere. In other words super authentic. We ordered cafe de olla, chocomil, guacamole and tortas. We've tried it all and nothing has been unsatisfactory. They do get pretty busy on weekends but the staff manages very well.
Muy buena comida , señorita gina muy amable y atenta al servicio mio y de mi familia , Gracias
Oh soo good! Small place with friendly service and plenty of parking in front. Ordered the Chilaquiles with egg and asada, asked for extra spicy and were nicely seasoned, not dry, not soggy. The barbacoa was goat meat and soup base was very tasty. Ordered to go Carne en su Jugo and Barbacoa tacos which were also nicely seasoned and worth ordering again. Will need to double check to go orders as this was missing a taco. They serve blended drinks, margaritas and Mexican beers, which will try on the next visit. To end we ordered a coffee which was a little weak and churros which were good but the caramel dip tasted like goat caramel and was watered down. Overall, Will definitely return as there are other items i want to try and the portions were plentiful.
