Wow!! Absolutely amazing!! The best Mexican restaurant Ive had since moving up here last year. The carnitas were fire and my trio plate was perfect! Honestly, this place is the closest Mexican food to Southern California where I am from. Thank you so much for the great food and the great company. We will be returning!

Best Mexican Food in the Valley and its not even close. This time I had chorizo and eggs with rice and beans and a michelada. I highly recommend this establishment and also the taco truck they have on Jack Tone and 120 in RiponManteca

Super cool place! The Quesabirria and Al Pastor with creamy green salsa were delicious! I love the counter service but also booths and a backroom of tables.

First time and wont be the last visit. The food was great. We came for breakfast and from the cafe de olla to the chilaquiles, everything was very flavourful. We tried the green and red chilaquiles. We also had their machaca. It was worth the 25 minute drive to try this place.
