The best authentic Mexican food around with a great vibe and service. The machaca is amazing and so is everything else. My wife love the carne asada salad and my kids enjoy the pancakes. Stop by for a treat!

My wedding was ruined with the banquet which was close to $7500. Paid until 1:30 a.m and by 10 p.m. all my guests had left. Paid for happy hour and no bartender. My cakes were butchered and no one ever said sorry. All they want is your money. 3 waitresses for 200 people. The bartender was a girl who did not know the ingredients to any of the drinks. I would not recommend anyone to this place. Total chaos since day one and once you book no calls back nor money.

Recently, I have been going on Fridays to enjoy the shrimp cocktail. Love it! Tons of shrimp with plenty of limes and crackers. Delicious! Plus they have the best ice tea. They also provide excellent customer service.

Service and quality has gone down. We used to come here once/twice a month. We noticed two things on our most recent visit. 1) Service is horrible period. I asked for a refill of their legendary icetea and waited, and waited. Noticed the girls behind the bar chatting it up. Had to get up a few times to remind them of us. 2) would be the overall quality of the food. We've noticed an overall decline in quality and most recently the blandness of their salsa. (It used to be addicting and very hot aka amazing) If I were them, I'd start over and remove most of the service staff. This place has so much potential if managed right. I'll try back in a few months, hopefully I'll have a change of heart.

Super bomb Mexican restaurant. The food is always good when i have gone. They also have a cantina/bar with some good drinks. Sometimes a little too strong but thats what we're there for. Family owned so you get that home style welcome and atmosphere.Try the burrito de lengua con chili verde and theyre homemade iced tea lemonade, they never disappoint.

Best Mexican food in Bell Gardens by far. Everything on the menu is delicious. Sports bar in the back is fun. This place is known for one of the best micheladas in Los Angeles. You gotta try this place.

Food is good. They also have a very refreshing ice tea. I gave them 4 Star because they take long bring the check and when I got someone attention to bring the check they forgot. I end up getting up and paying in the front. Also when I was there a witness one of the workers yelling at a waitress. It was unprofessional the girl look new and it's a family place my kids should not have seen that behavior.

Order Chile Verde, pork. The pork did tasted like it had gone bad, but warmed with fresh sauce and made me sick to my stomach. I literally took one small piece of pork and immediately spit it out. They STILL charged me. Used to LOVE this place. Not the same after 5yrs. 🤷‍♀️

Service is going down... use to be good but 3x already have messed up my order, servers are slow & manager and owner are never there to know what's going on. Losing business ever since previous manager Joe left establishment. No supervision so workers do not take care of the clients

They need more server. From the start to the end you have to call their attention so you can give your order, to get your drink refilled, to get your bill and to pay. One thing that is good is that you get your food right away. It is better to order your food to go, you are in and out right away.

Let me start off by saying that the food and Micheladas here are great. With that said, I'm extremely disappointed with this place. I've been here a few times and every single time the service is horrible! It's like they forget we're there. Also, their prices keep going up unexpectedly, and their debit card reader is always down so they ask you to write down your card # and info so they can enter it when it comes back up, very unprofessional and open to theft. My mom and I ate there a week ago and the total was $53 and change, a few days later she notices her bank statement and she was charged about $15.00 extra! This is theft! You can be sure we are disputing it with the bank and we are NEVER going to this place again! Save yourself the hassle, you can get good food and drinks at other restaurants and avoid being robbed!

Have been eating and trying out all kinds of Mexican joints and I have to say that this place is one of the best! The food here is very tastey. This place is way under rated and I see people eating at other Mexican places that are horrible and I say to myself "people do not know what good food is" . Its all in the TASTE. The prices are excellent. The service is soo good. Well we always get served by the same girl and she is soo good and attentive! I totally recommend this place! This place is like eating Mexican food from home! My mom who is known to be a great cook and has been asked to open her own authentic Mexican restaurent approves that food here is delicious!
