I usually avoid Mexican food because it’s what I call “mushy Mexican”. But damn. I haven’t had Mexican food this good in ages. Made fresh, served hot right off the grill. Plus the inside is quaint with tons of character. Prices are reasonable. Fantastic! I was...Read More

Both entrees were great. Chicken enchiladas had a great amount of chicken. Carne Asada plate included 4 corn tortillas. I'm posting pictures of menu because I couldn't find it online.

*Update 4/25/2025 Gloomy, cold day, decided to get a soup, ordered the shrimp and was blown away, better than the one at Bahía Ensenada I have been getting for over 30 years. Excellent food and service, their carnitas burrito is really good.

Great food. I think the restaurant has a unique atmosphere and theming that is just so charming, it feels just like the early 2000s again. You just don't come across restaurants with this sort of theming these days.
