Decent food in Pasadena, a bit overpriced for what you get. The Baja tacos were pretty good. We sat outside, which was nice. Staff was friendly but service was slow when we went and they never came back to fill our waters.

Fantastic customer service here. They are usually very attentive, pleasant, respectful, and expedient. I was able to request the freshly made corn tortillas with cilantro, which I recommend with the queso fundido and chorizo. Their tacos de Birria are legit!! I recommend you try those, above all else. My husband asked for a replacement for the fish and they were able to accommodate. The servers were quite helpful with my mom as she uses a walker. They are also bilingual, which is a plus. Pro tip: they have platanos fritos con crema and frijol (fried plantains with cream and beans). You just need to ask. I'm sorry I didn't take a pic. I will next time.

Wow, this place was really a great find! We got the Casillitas and Snapper and it was soooo good! The fish was super delicate and the ribs were very tender, and I came with a large serving of veggies too! Also the Brussels sprouts were so addicting, def coming back!

Was excited by the high ratings to went to try out. Found everything kind of meh. The guacamole was OK to start but the chips were stale. I had a caipirinha and my wife had a margarita and they were both about as good as we could throw together at home. Nothing special. My wife had the achiote snapper and I had the branzino. Both again were mildly flavored. They were served on vegetables that were kind of flat tasting zucchini. Nothing was bad but nothing was great

Grade A- (91): The service was very good, Stephanie was very helpful and responsive and made us feel welcome. The Papas Rellenas was awesome, so was the special Grilled Jalapenos & onions side dish she surprised us with since we like spicy. The NY steak was prepared very well for Medium temp, the Conchita Pibil tacos were also good well have them again. The hard honest part: The Mole sauce on the tortillas was not for me, it was almost like drizzled Nutella, also the Tres Leches cake was dry and the icing was like the icing on grocery store cake, took one little bite and left it uneaten. I will not be having the Margarita here either, tasted funky. I will definitely go back, great service and great food, just a couple of things to avoid. Parking: Somewhat difficult parking on Thursday since there is a farmer's market going on, will try other days.

Happy-hour tacos, one of each of the menu's four, were good, at an outdoor table.

We were here for a quick drink! They were able to serve us very quickly, it was a Sunday evening. We came here because we were visiting the Myers House which is located right across the street. Myers House is from Halloween 1978.
