    Authentic , fresh, perfect spices, in their food . My Mariscos caldo was filled with fresh fish and a Spicy red broth . The tacos were good and rice and beans fresh not canned. Guacamole was super fresh too. Lots of parking, colorful inside and very clean. Will be back

    We recently moved in the area literally 0.3 miles away and my family always had good things to say about this place. They say it's one of the best Mexican places to eat for a good price . I've tried many things on the menu and it hasn't failed . Not sure why it has 2 1/2 stars .  This place deserves at least 4 stars and above I give it 5 stars for sure . All the ladies working here are very nice , and it's always clean. Recommend this place to anyone that's in the area

    We tried this place because it was really close to the Santa Cruz Co fair grounds where we were attending an event over the weekend. Only 2 guys in there the first time we were there eating caldo. This place has a large dinning room with plenty of tables. But it was pretty empty so we were a little sceptical. But my husband ordered anyway and got a carnitas burrito. It was pretty good, big filled with some good carnitas, beans, rice, cheese and salsa. The 2 salsas that came with it were hot and tasty. One red and one green avocado.

    We came back the next day and tried their carnitas enchiladas. Pretty good, packed with lots of carnitas could have used some more sauce though. The beans were really good.

    They give you 3 different salsas in squirt bottles when they deliver your food. One red one green avocado, my favorite and one orange looked like nacho cheese I didn't try it.

    There's very limited parking in the front but there's a small lot around the corner in the back.

    The most I can say about this place is that the food is edible. I waited about 40 minutes for 2 al pastor and 2 asada tacos. I thought the food would make up for the wait but it wasn't what I expected. The tortillas were hard to bite and the meat was either too burnt or flavorless. They also only gave me 3 tacos instead of 4 but at least they did me a favor in not eating one more of those tacos. I would only reccomend this place if you're really hungry or have lots of money to waste.

    $7 plus tax for a good not great super Asada Burrito. Clean place with friendly service. If I stop again I'll try the regular burrito.
