"Prices lil high but its Cali so yeah. Only real set back is language barrier. Food is good but their Chipotle sauce is to die for, spice but has amazing flavor that makes you want more without setting your tongue on fire"

"The staff consistently demonstrates exceptional friendliness. I initially visited with a strong desire for a Torta del Chavo. Although I've frequented this establishment in the past, it has been several years since my last visit. They were offering a "2 for 1" Chilaquiles promotion. Consequently, I opted for that, with my mother choosing the salsa verde and I the salsa rojo, which I was assured would not be spicy. Despite my Mexican heritage, I have a low tolerance for heat or spicy sauces. I was pleasantly surprised, as I anticipated only the food, but unexpectedly received two aguas frescas as well. I did, however, ensure I took my Torta del Chavo to go, as I couldn't depart without it."

"We came in at 10am (six people) and then at least 10 to 12 other people showed up. Not only did the one cook on duty not buckle under the flurry of orders, he maintained a super cheerfull attitude and sang and joked as he cooked the food. He worked fast and the food turned out delicious."

"#WOW ... I live minutes away and found them thanks to great Yelp reviews. I look forward to trying out many other meals here thanks to my encounter with the Especial Burrito which is enough to satisfy two people. I chose chicken and was pleasantly surprised to discover it was salt-free yet well seasoned. The salsa bar is immaculate and the fresh chips and roasted peppers are replenished frequently. Stop by and enjoy this quaint, clean and wonderful little spot."
