Good food and good flavor to the Red Salsa. There were some youngsters working the counter, good to see and they had good customer service. Wasn't too packed but the day before it was so we waited. Good clean place.

Yeah this spot is good. Nothing fancy but a solid Mexican place. Got the burrito, it's what you expect. Was recommended by the cashier to get the asada. It was solid. What makes this place special is their salsas station. Really excellent salsas. Great flavors and not just about heat. The ambiance was very mom and pop. Would go back for a quick meal.

Food was ok not bad Fish tacos rice was under cooked but they have a $1.25 Credit Card Fee when I looked at my receipt after ordering was wondering what a Genius fee was ?didn't take a genius to figure this out this is a cost the business should pay not a fee that you find out latter

I tried their carne asada tacos, and they were packed with flavor. The beef was tender and seasoned perfectly, and the fresh cilantro and onions added a great bite.

The owner is a nice guy and thus I really try to support local small businesses. I had the fish tacos. I thought they were good and the place was nice and clean. I will go back for lunch.

This place is SO good. Idk why it doesn't have all 5-stars. I was slightly skeptical due to the Yelp rating but I stopped in and got fish and shrimp tacos. Dude- the fish tacos are some of the best I've ever had and I live in LA. The taco salad with carnitas is also delicious. I suspect they make everything homemade and tortillas/chips fresh by hand. Everything is really good, I've already eaten here 3x this week!
