What a treat! Was back in town for family and realized I could get dinner here - yea! It’s been so many years… will it still be great?? YES! A Thursday evening and, happily per usual, the line to order was out the door. The food is that great! Really. I usually choose takeout and considering the fast pace and large volume of customers it’s incredible I have never had one single mistake made in over a decade. This is the only restaurant I can say that about. Their quality control is amazing. They have dine-in, lovely outside patio tables scattered around a beautiful courtyard and a gorgeous, lit fountain. Great casual ambiance. Plenty of free parking in this shopping center. You will order at counter; thereafter a sweet lady (who’s been there as long as I’ve known about this place) will bring your orders, and also check on you if outside. It just all works wonderfully and then you get to eat! ¡Visita pronto y disfruta!

Found this nice family owned shop while visiting family in Rancho Santa margherita. The friendly welcoming staff greeted us and took our order right away. It wasn't too crowded so we sat and waited for our food to come over. The food took no time at all and was very tasty. Tacos and nachos were good and flavorful. The salsa was fresh and hot. Overall a nice spot with good food and definitely reasonable prices. Give them a try

Always a great experience with great food! I usually get the shrimp tacos but I’m on a special diet and just needed 2 chicken breasts for the day and they accommodated my request with no issues. Tasty!

Still, one of the best Mexican restaurants in Rancho. Even though I don’t live around the area anymore, I still come up here for the delicious food. My wife and I love it. The food is always fresh, tasty, full of flavor, amazing! They also offer a few different brands of beer and two choices of agua frescas. Horchata, Jamaica, and/or Tamarindo. All very good choices. Love that they still offer outside seating as well as inside. The cashier and all the inside personnel are very welcoming, friendly, helpful, and quick. Still a highly recommended Mexican restaurant!! ——————- Still one of my favorite Mexican restaurants here in Rancho Santa Margarita, Ca. They know us here already, lol, we are regulars here! Their salsa is really good. We usually buy the salsa every time we go to any of our friend's house to eat. They all love it too. The food is delicious and fresh as usual. You can seat inside or outside. Parking can get busy depending on when you show up.

Excellent tacos for taco Tuesday! My absolute favorite is the chili Verde wet burrito. Absolutely insane flavor. Make sure you're hungry as this burrito is a MONSTER! The picture was a previous take out
