“ My family and I are lifelong residents of San Pedro and have been coming here consistently for over 20 years. Their food is so flavorful and authentic. You won’t find anything better, with such a friendly and cozy atmosphere. It’s family run and they truly treat you like family. Please support this family run establishment; they deserve consistent support for their years of feeding San Pedro! My personal favorites are their albondigas soup and fresh salsa. ”
“ We showed up an hour before closing, the place was clean and we got sat right away. Drinks and food came out quickly and everything was really good Decorations inside are cute and very Mexican The place itself is small but lots of booths I would recommend this place for anyone visiting the area after the beach! ”
“ Love this place! Been coming here forever!! ”
“ Very delicious, authentic Mexican food. Wonderful place. ”
“ This is a small and neat Mexican restaurant in San Pedro. The restaurant is not large and can only accommodate 5-6 dining tables. Since there is only one owner in the kitchen responsible for cooking, we had to wait for a long time after placing the order, but it is not inappropriate. The quality of the food is excellent. For example, the beans are very delicious. Although the portion per plate is not as large as expected, our family is still very satisfied after the meal. There are many similar small restaurants in the San Pedro community. Every time we come here, we basically enjoy it and love the laid-back atmosphere of this place. I hope everyone can come here more often. Hope you enjoy it too! ”
“ Perfect crunchy beef taco. Homemade delicious rice & beans. Friendly service & comfortable vibe. New favorite in San Pedro. ”
“ The first taste I had was the lemonade that they blend with ice to make it like a frozen slushy. This was a delicious start to the meal and very refreshing on a hot day. I ordered the camarones al mojo de ajo, which is shrimp sauteed in a garlic sauce. It's in the specialities on the first page of the menu. The dish was perfectly prepared and presented. It was especially delicious with their house salsa mixed in. I don't get to say this often, but this was a pleasure to eat and enjoy. I don't live close, but I will be back. ”
