A hard and heart heavy review to write. It’s not the same anymore.
There’s been an apparent change in ownership or management. If true, and without any sort of public signage to indicate this seems disingenuous as an effort to use the existing brand.
I support small and local businesses, and I write this with hope of some quick implementation of this and any other feedback the new staff receive. I understand times are hard, rent on the Broadway strip must be insane. I would be fine with the price increases if the quality and/or quantity of the food matched. Even if it meant waiting longer for food to be prepared and cooked. I believe this will allow for rebuilding clientele with the lower volume of patronage, then as it increases hopefully prices can be reduced to offset ticket times.
Everyone seems nice enough. No current complaint in service received. I hope everyone does their best so we can have delicious food for years to come.
The atmosphere was a bit dead, gone are the decorations that adorned and brought out the cultural charm. I hope this returns especially as it’s dia de los muertos soon. The music videos that used the play also made everything more vibrant, made me feel like I was in Monterrey. Finally it was a bit dim which made things feel cold and unwelcoming, let’s get some warm lighting back up.
The biggest things I noticed, the salsas are very different. I will miss the very spicy old salsa Verde and the very wine-ish salsa roja.
Huevos Rancheros and Huevos Divorciados do not come with bacon anymore
Menudo is gone, I hope for it’s return now that is just starting to get cool out for autumn
The tortillas weren’t as fluffy. Mine were actually a bit rough and chewy that took some effort pulling that resulted in a snap to break off a piece. Could’ve just been a bad batch as this happens at other Mexican restaurants on occasion.
I’ll make periodic updates here as I give this a few more visits with any noticeable changes

I used to eat here most weekends. Today I ordered beef chalupas. It was piled high with lettuce and cheese…minimal to no picadillo. I told the waitress and showed her there was barely any meat. She did nothing to make it right.
It’s NOT what it used to be. I won’t be back.

Used to love this place. Went here every week. Moved away for 6 months, came back and there’s been a massive drop-off in quality. They are committing a cardinal sin of using stale chips in chilaquiles. The salsa is watery and flavorless. Breaks my heart, but skip this place and go to Thousand Oaks

I don’t know if this place is under new management over the past few months. But the food is not the same the service not the same. Tacos taste less homemade, the cheese is cold vs last time they would usually melt the cheese. The decor is gone. Maybe it’s been like 8 months? I tried 2 separate times to order food and it just isn’t the same but it’s also not good. Where are the other owners?

We are here every Sunday and usually brought 2-4 people. It was a Sunday ritual. We bright tacos to friends. Staff knew our orders. First day of the new regime, former staff all gone. We loved them. Being vegetarian, it was a treat to have clean beans and all the omnivores lived the food as well. No longer. Why did you ruin it? Everyone we took lives the good and we saw other regulars. Bring back the old vibe, the recipes, the staff!

There is new ownership here and I think they should change the name. I have a great suggestion: Karen’s tacos.
The tacos have become bland. The salsa has become bland. The bacon taste like a strip of baconbit. The chorizo, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, Has almost no flavor at all. I don’t know how that’s possible. The corn tortillas have changed for the worse, although they are still made fresh.
The clientele… Skews very heavily to the white over 60 years old crowd. You can guess why. I will say, there seem to be more customers than I ever saw before. I believe they made a good decision for the business, but a bad decision for people who care about food.

The breakfast tacos and chilaquiles (esp with salsa verde) are on point. Not sure what’s up with the negative reviews – seems like some folks go to a Mexican establishment expecting a certain “decor” or vibe… just eat the food? We had a great experience and I thought the service was fantastic.

came here after being a regular customer at the St Mary’s location. it’s not the same, what food they do have is still good. the menu here is a lot smaller. no menudo or breakfast burritos here. this location is smaller and cramped and they still have boxes stacked in one of the few booths. I know this isn’t quantifiable but it doesn’t have the same feel. Small detail, they have a picture of a shrimp taco on the wall and my son got excited about that but they don’t actually have that here.
I think this will be our last chelas experience after a long run at the st mary’s location.

On May 23, 2025, the restaurant manager assured me that I would be reimbursed for the $38 I was double charged for breakfast tacos. The charge is still on my account!
