Reviews
Great service, good food, and the atmosphere & decor is really nice. Highly recommend for you to check out this spot.
Update: I’ve ordered take out and we went there yesterday to go eat. The food isn’t as great as it used to be. On my takeout I ordered a Carnitas burrito which wasn’t that great. I didn’t even finish it and never went back to eat my leftovers. We went there yesterday, I ordered some caldo. When eating my soup, I’m used to my vegetables being really soft: everything working together. All my vegetables were really hard it took a lot to cut them. The beef in there soup was great The soup wasn’t bad at all it’s just my vegetables felt like they could have cooked a lot longer to get them soft.. I’m a little disappointed because it was my favorite Mexican restaurant in Lake Elsinore, however, That’s really not the case anymore.
Order: hand made tortillas, guacamole, beans, fried yucca, cheese, curtido. With sour cream. Your could personaliz it. Delicious food. The staff is always very friendly and helpful.
