So…the reviews on here are a bit misleading. The food is ok but to be honest, pretty bland, not as “authentic” as they/others claim it is. The salsa tasted out of a can and the tortillas seemed very packaged/cheap. There really was not a lot of flavor to any of the food, including the guacamole! The one item that had the most flavor was the soup and, well, we’ve had better. I personally had a shrimp combo and it was decent but, again, I’ve had much better elsewhere.
The atmosphere was ok. It was clean at least but please tell me why they have a mini statue of the Eiffel Tower in there?
If you’re looking for REAL authentic Mexican food don’t believe the hype and go elsewhere. We’ve had far better at some of the local Mexican food trucks!
*We paid $75 for two people for what should have cost no more than $35 total for what we got!

It’s a shame, they have a great location and the service was amazing, but i got 5 shrimp with my fajitas and my girlfriend 4 and it was 25 bucks each. On top of that all the food lacked flavor and it’s Mexican so I don’t know how that’s possible. Everything was bland from the beginning starting with the guacamole. Place has a lot of potential with new chefs and not charging 20 plus a plate and filling it with beans and rice. I do not recommend, I honestly can’t say one good thing about the eating experience, but the workers were very nice and attentive. The shrimp also tasted fishy usually implying old frozen shrimp. Very disappointed and we spent over 100 and tipped the servers good of course, it’s not their fault. Owners please save this place. Will not be back.

Everything we’ve tried is great. Definitely a solid Mexican spot, at least when it comes to a sit down restaurant. We’ve come to this restaurant when it used to be on Mission in South Pasadena. Glad to see it’s still in the area.
Love the chips and salsa while we wait for our food. Great environment for dining.

It’s not as good as it used to be. The margaritas were mainly mix. The chicken fajita tostasda tasted different. Prices were higher.

We were greeted at the door, which is very nice. Got to sit wherever we’d like it wasn’t too busy until after we arrived. There was a lot of people that came in. The atmosphere is very live. Good music not too loud. You still can have a conversation. The food was delicious except one thing The chili oregano didn’t have a chili. It had nothing but egg in it and cheese so that was a really big disappointment. The shredded beef enchilada had a lot of meat. The tostada had a lot of meat. It was very filling. The beans were delicious. The rice wasn’t overcooked so that was a plus chips and salsa. We’re good!

I use to go to the Pasadena location for over 15 years and also the South Pasadena location for many many years also. I was so glad when they opened this location. Always the best food. I see the waiters from the Pasadena location working. I have never had to call and complain about anything till tonight. It was really busy like usual and it was a Friday night so we got the order to go. I was ordering a Burrito I confirmed it was a wet burrito because my mom loves her burrito the be wet and lots of sauce. So they said it was a wet burrito and I said ok she likes it very saucey. When we got home there was a little line of the three different sauces on the burrito. The container wasn’t filled with the sauces. So I called to left them know the disappointment and they said if someone wants lots of sauce they need to tell them but there wasn’t much sauce at all and basically that was all she said I had to ask her what are we going to do? She said I could bring it back and they would remake it. I live in Orange County so that wasn’t possible. So she said to bring the burrito back tomorrow and they would replace it. Why does my mother have to suffer and not eat for them to replace her burrito? A weeks burrito has sauce all on top of the burrito and then there’s so much sauce it will pool at the bottom of container. I have pictures there was a dribble of sauce in it. I’m floored that they want me to bring the burrito back before they will replace it. Very disappointing that they asked me to do that

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, look no further. They start preparing all their dishes with the freshest ingredients at 5 in the morning! Everything we ordered was delicious. Gigi our waitress was fantastic!

We visited this gem while on vacation for my partners birthday. The food was wonderful starting with warm chips and salsa. The Enchiladas were flavorful and sauce was so good! The unexpected star for me was the refried beans. Soooo amazing! Thank you to all the staff for making us feel welcome and for the singing of happy birthday….you made her day!
