I love this place! Really cute atmosphere if you want to eat in, but I usually order take out. Everything I've had from here has been great . Some of my favorites are the pulled chicken chimichangas and carnitas tacos. Today I tried the tacos al pastor... Holy Cow they were good! Everything is so fresh. They just launched online ordering, which is really nice. I might have to go back tomorrow! Try it out and let me know what you think

My husband and I visited Long Branch Beach this week, all the way from Texas! We wanted to find an authentic Mexican food spot dinner after the beach and we came across this cute little spot. Service was amazing, food was so delicious, such a warming and welcoming environment! Incredible experience. We will definitely be back next time we visit. Can’t recommend them enough!

Spotted this place on the way back from the beach and decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did! This cozy restaurant has an inviting atmosphere and we were attended to immediately. I got the shrimp burrito with refried beans, yellow rice, and a super flavorful salad that the chef said was made with raspberry juice, balsamic vinaigrette, and olive oil...and let me just say, that salad was amazing. I was expecting your average, run-of-the-mill salad and was totally surprised. 5 stars for that salad! The rice and beans were good too, but the shrimp burrito was the weak link. It wasn't bad but I didn't really taste the shrimp much, it seemed to have gotten overpowered by everything else in it. The chef was a wonderful person and our servers were prompt and polite. Would definitely go back! P.S. Get the tamarind Jarritos, it's sooo good haha

Might be the best Mexican restaurant in the entire area. Not super fancy looking but just right mid range with superb food and good value. Our plates of food were delicious, fresh and hot.

Great food. Cozy environment. Authentic food. I came with my family. We all loved it. It is a must stop place. Menu is great, a lot of options. If you are not a meat lover, vegetarian menu is also beyond good. Exceptional.

This was a 5 star experience for sure! The chef personally greeted us and made a recommendation of off-menu scallop and shrimp tacos, which we were SO glad we tried. Flavors were amazing. Chocolate mousse cake was also wonderful. Would go back here 10/10.
