Authentic and delicious Mexican food, felt like I was sitting in my grandma's kitchen. They have the best carne asada fries I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Salsas are delicious. The staff is very friendly. Very reasonable prices and you even get an ocean view.

Great service, friendly staff, salsas and spicy carrots are super yummy. One of my favorite spots. The veggie burrito is fantastic. The prices are reasonable considering the large portions and proximity to the ocean!

Stopped here for a quick bite and did not disappoint! By far the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! Will definitively be making a stop here next time I visit SoCal.

Best Mexican food, salsa I could drink by the cup full. Friendly staff. Willing to answer questions about ingredients for allergies and chefs have always gotten my orders correct though I always make a specific order to remove allergens. The kind staff doesn't roll their eyes about questions or about making orders without certain ingredients. This is my go-to place when I venture into north county. Perfectly situated right off the bike trail.

Was looking for a quick bite, and stumbled upon this gem. Ordered the carnitas taco meal, and it was DELICIOUS. This place was so good, I went back for dinner and have been back every day trying something new. The meals have been consistently great. The place is clean. And fast. And reasonable. It's not a "fine dining" atmosphere, but the food definitely is. Highly recommend.

Best Chicken Soup on the Coast of San Diego. Stopped here after a Ride up the coast. I got the chicken soup with Hot corn tortillas and marinated carrots. This is really the best and worth the drive!

Excellent veggie burrito, excellent chips and salsa, and everything you could want after a long walk on the beach. They have a horchata dispensing machine!!
