The food here was delicious! The atmosphere was great! Right on the coast with the sea breeze. Service was okay, but quick. The chillitos and seafood enchiladas tasted great!

Stopped in and had a great lunch here. Great menu that does not overwhelm with many vegetarian options available. Will definitely stop in again the next time we hit the beach. Both bartenders were patient and attentive.

Lunch special was spot on. Crispy taco with savory shredded beef... and a chicken enchilada! Also, try the Cole slaw. It's vinegar based, so if you like that style, go for it. Margarita was standard. Tasty. Could be stronger, but ain't that always the case?? Very...Read More

The food is really good including the rice and beans! Their guacamole is also good. The chile relleno is not breaded but still tasty and a bit spicy.

Just driving around and came upon this small spot. It was different from a restaurant. You don't wait for an available table. You order your food and drinks at the cashier register, and then find an open table. But it was really quick. They got...Read More

I could be way off base here, but I see this as the quintessential Californian Mexican restaurant. Open air seating on the beach, packed for happy hour and bustling. Another vacation win for us! The food was sensational. Enchiladas, flautas and quesadillas were top notch....Read More
