This place is so good and the prices are amazing. My family and I just ordered the shrimp burrito (spicy) and OMG it was so big and loaded with jumbo shrimp. They also have daily special make sure you call for those special. Don't underestimate the look of this small restaurant. It's good quality and you get your money's worth.

This is the Sunday / cheat day spot. The potato, fish and shrimp tacos are the way to go! But that's just me. I wouldn't have it any other way. I gave the atmosphere 3 stars, because it could be cool inside, if the a/c was turned on.

The shrimp here are absolutely delicious and incredible! We ordered two Shrimp Taco Combos, which came with rice, beans topped with cheese, and best of all — the Baja-style shrimp tacos, hands down the best I’ve ever had. Pro tip: Pair them with a glass of horchata for a perfectly balanced contrast of flavors. The shrimp are packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and you can tell this recipe has been refined over many years. We started with the guacamole as an appetizer — it was extraordinary, full of flavor and creamy avocado texture. Also, a big shoutout to Nancy and Jose for their outstanding service and warm attention. They really made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic and unforgettable Baja-style shrimp tacos!

Great food from the tacos to the tortas. I really like there milanesa tortas. Super fresh. My favorite part is fish taco specials they have on Wednesdays. Will be back!

Stumbled across this place on my way to another place I was heading and had to try it. Don't let the looks deceive you! Good service and clean inside. I ordered a battered fish taco fully loaded, a chicken tostada, and a half order of beans and rice. They included a jalapeño toreado and had a green and red salsa bar with sliced lemons and pickled onions. The fish taco was absolutely amazing!!! Comparable if not better than La Bufadora and Taco Nazo. Yes it was that good! The tostada was okay and their salsas could use some work. The beans were good but the rice was really good. That fish taco though!!! Going back with the family to sample some of their other seafood delights and of of course their fish tacos!
