Let me tell you first off! I love Mexican food and run all over to try new restaurants. I even venture to dine at as many taco trucks and taco stands as I can. I was blew away by this amazing authentic restaurant today with my husband. Let me give you the scene when you walk in. Not only is it friendly effective service, but the atmosphere is out of this world. True authentic designed restraint with amazing decor, music, lighting and then some. The right colors were amazing and the seating was so fabulous. I’ve never seen anything like this before and it brought excitement to my soul. With just the first look it made me super excited to try the food and boy did they not disappoint. They brought their A Game on this. It was amazingly dressed and the food was out of this world. The prices were extremely fair and our waitress even gave us a few of her favorite dishes. We purposely asked so when come back we know exactly what to order. Amazing eats is found right there. Just go try it and you won’t be disappointed either. Thanks again and we look forward to our next visit!!!!

This is my go to place. First of all their dishes is amazingly delicious. If you say that there is no taste then you must have no taste buds go see a doctor. I love every single dish I have eaten. Especially the wet burritos, Menudo, Caldo de Res, Birria, Fajitas, so so good. I’ve gone many times and the servers are always give us amazing customer service. Very attentive to our needs. Never had an issue. I go atleast every weekend. On holidays they have lots of decorations everywhere. You’ll see. It’s always full of people. I highly recommend this place to everyone. it’s

Delicious food. Great customer service. We only had to wait 5 mins to get a table. I would definitely go back.
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.

I ordered the menudo had a bad taste almost like the tripe wasn’t washed, the carne asada fries were saturated in oil and soggy, the fish taco was you generic frozen cod put in a tortilla. I been there a few times in the past I don’t remember it being this bad. The drinks were good service was decent.
