Lively Mexican spot with generous plates, strong margaritas, and happy hour deals; expect waits, noise, and occasional service hiccups.
Inside this Anaheim Street staple, the room feels lively and bustling with TV screens and a cozy cantina look. Servers circulate with baskets of warm chips and zippy salsas while margaritas land strong and cold. One diner summed it up: "We waited a bit, but the vibe and huge plates made it feel like a party." Expect big portions, happy-hour deals, and a crowd at peak times. The cooking leans classic—molcajetes, fajitas, and enchiladas served with beans, rice, and handmade tortillas—more comfort-driven than experimental. Seafood starters like aguachile please when dialed in, though a few guests mention overcooked shrimp or saltiness now and then. Value feels solid thanks to generous plates and $12 happy-hour items, even if some mains sit in the upper twenties to mid-thirties. Families fit right in. Booths and familiar staples—burritos, quesadillas, tacos, chicken plates—keep kids happy, while adults enjoy margaritas and fajitas. If your crew includes very cautious eaters, stick to simple classics like grilled chicken, rice, and beans; seafood spice and acidity can be bold for little palates.
