This place has an authentic feel with a guy playing the guitar and singing at the tables and chips, salsa and refried beans served as an appetizer. Our server was great – helping with items to select and having fun with my grandma while she ordered. My wife and I shared the chicken fajitas and it was plenty of food for both of us. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

Small parking area and surprisingly large dining area besides just the bar. Excellent service of good food and margarita! Glad I stumbled upon this place for dinner!

Went there for brunch and it didn’t disappoint! Prices are reasonable as well. Had the Chorizo plate and my wife has the Chilaquiles Verdes.

By far the best Mexican cuisine! I could honestly say that the beef and bean tostada could be my last meal, and I’d skip towards my inevitable doom with joy in each step.
In all seriousness, the staff is amazing. Your refills come so quickly you’d think your drinks magically appear. The food? I can’t think of any word besides exquisite. You can hear the kitchen’s hustle and bustle, the sound of your food being made and quickly served with flawless efficiency.
If you don’t trust my review, that’s totally fine. Try it yourself, and you’ll see exactly how honest I’m being.
Perfect food, perfect atmosphere, and perfect staff makes a deadly combo.
By far the BEST food place in Santee. Honestly, maybe even all of San Diego.
Also don’t go to the Alpine one. This place makes that one look like a joke.

This place is a very comfortable and nice place. The staff is very welcoming. Adrian was super good with us, fun with the kids, and nice with the parents . The guy plying the guitar is very skillful, asking him what you’d like and he knows to play. The food is amazingly good. The trio fajitas is my favorite dish, cooked well and not greasy, just perfect. The kids’ burgers and eggs were also good, and the carne asada plate was very good. The plates will fulfill you, the drinks will delight you, and the staff will entertain you.

Excellent quality Mexican food, but a bit pricey. Got the Brunch special Steak and Eggs with a blended Lime Margarita, and the Beef Flautas. Everything was very tasty. The medium rare steak was very tender with minimal fat and no gristle. The service was excellent, fast and very friendly. Plus, there was live Mexican music! Update: Got the Pollo Mariettas fried half chicken and bowl of the Menudo soup. The fried chicken was freshly made, crispy and juicy. The Menudo was excellent and not mainly broth like at other restaurants. Update: Got the Menudo, Chicken Mole, and Chili Colorado. Everything was excellent.

We were out on a motorcycle ride and decided to stop in for an early dinner. We were very surprised at what a nice Mexican restaurant this is. The service was excellent and the food was even better. We can’t wait to go back again!

I was hungry for some good tacos instead what I got were two hardshell purated chicken and purated asada tacos. Favorable yes. BUT absolutely disgusting tacos. The price on the menu was $7.00 per taco. And when I got the bill it was $7.50 per taco.
I was not pleased with the quality of the food ! So probably will not return here.The restaurant was pretty much empty of customers. That should have been my clue. Fool me once shame on me!! But there will not be a second time.

The chicken Tacos are the best I have had in the US. They are super friendly and their customer service is on point. Their margaritas are the best in Santee!

The food wasn’t great. The service was great. The prices are a bit on the expensive for what it was. The rice, beans and enchiladas are made with lard or so I was told by the waiter.
