If you want authentic Mexican food this little place is where you’ll find it. They had the pastries that I grew up eating in San Diego, I stop by here and load up on them every year before going home. There isn’t much inside or outdoor seating but to get authentic food it’s worth picking up to go.

Food was very good and the service was great. Carne asada and barbacoa tacos were tasty, and the salsa verde complimented the tacos well. The chicken tamale was just okay.

Yummy find in town! We are here visiting and wanted some good tacos. Place isn’t huge, but there is some seating inside and outside. We ordered nine carne asada, two shrimp, one fish taco. We loaded them up with onions, cilantro, salsa, and a squeeze of lime. They were some of the top tacos we’ve ever had outside of San Diego. Also had a Jaritos and a jamaica tea to wash down our perfect lunch. Sorry we didn’t get any pictures of the food before we devoured it- but you won’t be disappointed.

The panaderia is fantastic! The bread was sweet and soft. I didn’t get anything from the taqueria but the food looks decent. They make homemade corn tortillas everyday as well!

Amazing find with amazing food! Tried this place for a take out dinner and it did not disappoint. Burrito was really good, marinated beef (I picked up a bag of chips and added a few for the pic), fresh salsa, great ingredients and just really tasty. Can't wait to come back and get different things! Thanks so much!!

We got 2 chicken tacos, 2 beef tacos and 2 chicken tamales along with a side of fresh salsa and black beans. All were authentically Mexican, seasoned well and FRESH! We loved it and will make it a regular stop!
