    Solid, workmanlike tacos. A small hill of tender, grilled steak lay on the doubled-up corn tortillas. Dressed simply with diced onion, cilantro, fiery red salsa, and a generous squeeze of lime. Read more

    This place is a hidden gem for Mexican food! The dishes were great and the prices were very reasonable. Just make sure to ask for chips when you grab your order – which they don't tell you to do.

    Lovely tacos. No frills though. Just tacos straight up and down. Go for the Mahi Mahi tacos. You won't be disappointed.

    Still love this place but prices have gone up in recent years. Way cheaper options on Lincoln in Ocean Park. Still, veggie burrito here is a great deal and the salsa bar is wonderful.

    One of the best Mexican places in LA. Don't get fooled by the low prices; the food is fantastic. Try the Californian burrito

    Such a hole-in-the-wall gem and It's clean! I'm all about crunchy tacos and hands down, one of the best crunchy fried fish tacos I've had in awhile.

    Really good tacos with healthy options. All of the fish taco choices will make you smile. Bring quarters for street parking or go around the block and park on 14th.

    Every taco was amazing, but the adobada is a must. Great salsa bar too.

    Carnitas burrito and a chorizo taco is my standard. Top notch auga fresca, and a solid make your own salsa bar.

    Breakfast burritos w sausage comes with free side of tortillas. Put the salad & limes in the plastic bag, not the containers. Lol.

    The chorizo with cheese and fried fish tacos are the ones to order. Amazing. Hated the California burrito which I got based on someone's reco. Very bland.

    The grilled chicken on the Caesar salad is amazing! The Caesar dressing is light and citrusy. My "lite" lunch favorite.

    I love the hard shell chicken tacos. But everything is amazing. Tamales, burritos, soup, it's all great.

    Chicken soup seems home made and is definitely the best chicken soup in Santa Monica

    Very delicious food. They're also very stingy with the napkins, so my tip is to bring your own.

    Not the best at all. The tortillas were kinda stale, fell apart so easily, and the tacos were altogether bland. The breakfast burrito was meh as well. Chips were great though!

    The posole is authentic and hits the spot. Light flavorful broth and awesome pork. Nice and spicy too. The cactus salad is so-so.

    Call for advance order or delivery other than lunch rush hour (12-2)! Otherwise you will be put on hold for a VERY long time.
