Great little brunch spot! My husband and I shared the breakfast platter and a flight of margaritas ( very generously made ). I also had a coffee which was absolutely delicious ( and I'm a coffee snob ) Beautiful decor in the restaurant and very attentive service staff. Such a delight .

I have to say this place is sooo cute and a hidden gem in corona! It's fully decorated with beautiful murals also the service was wonderful (he was very helpful). The food was very good I loved both the sweet and savory items we had. I have to recommend the molcajete and the strawberry French toast

This is an awesome local restaurant. Not only do they have amazing Mexican food but they also do a daily brunch service! Heck yes! A great meal twice daily! The molcajetes are very good and the costillas de puerco were amazing. Spicy and flavorful. I was told they are made by a beloved aunt and her amazing recipe. Everything looks top notch and fresh, and give that chile relleno grilled cheese a try, it was amazing too. Oh, and it's beautiful inside with a full bar. I highly recommend.

We came to try for the first time on Saturday around noon, hoping to get some tacos for lunch. Pleasantly surprised with the nice ambiance of the resto (we thought it was "only" a small taqueria"). But we were disappointed that they only served brunch until 4pm. And we were disappointed to get (very small plate of) sliced cantaloupe and yogurt dip instead of chips and salsa. Good thing that they had 2 tacos meal on the menu. The food tasted good. The food presentation was excellent. No substitution! My son didn't like beans, but he couldn't sub the beans with rice :( The rice and beans were good but maybe too tasty/flavorful. Or maybe it is because there are no salty chips on the side??? Carnitas tacos were better than carne asada tacos. The chorizo breakfast burrito was not big, but tasty and yummy! Salsa, guacamole, pickled onions were great! Overall, it's good, but not a "regular" taco place.

One of the few remaining cheap and clean casual dining place with a full bar in California that actually has quality food and service. If you're just looking for cheap, good eats, go on a Tuesday and get some tacos. This is where I go to after a hard workout or if I don't feel like driving and feel the munchies. Price is still fair outside of Tuesdays. They often have random promos for different days, so you'll likely catch one if you visit. To give you an idea: $10-$15 per meal (6 tacos for around $15, tip included, on Tuesdays, and they definitely give you piles of meat on each taco) when they have promos on something. $15-$25 outside of those days. The quality of food is really good for the price. My go-to is their tacos, birria, and camarones a la diabla. La diabla isn't spicy, but I get the audience they're selling to. Still good though. Their pastor is probably my favorite meat. Their birria consomme is something that I like to buy to make instant noodles at home (try it - it's delicious). I wish their salsa was spicier though. Like if they went to the OG Carnitas Michoacan on Broadway in LA and reverse-engineered their salsa roja, it'll automatically become the best place to eat in the area. You could serve taco bell and that salsa will make it Michelin. If you combine their quality food with that spicy platinum salsa, this place will blow up. They have a bar. Haven't tried any of their drinks. They have some cheap drinks. $5-6 michis on Tuesdays. $25 unlimited mimosas on weekends (2 hours). They may or may not have buckets of Corona or Modelos but I haven't really dug into their drink menu to find out. Typically have some sports playing on the walls, with some EDM / reggaeton / banda in the background. So it's actually pretty chill place to wind down if you don't mind eating or drinking alone / in a small group. Location is kinda small, but the place is super clean. Off the corner of a Stater Bros and Crunch fitness. I see more people come here for dates, or as small groups. I think I saw large groups maybe a handful of times. They have movable tables so they'll definitely accommodate large parties. Service is great. I typically don't dine-in, but my order is ready within minutes. ....that's it

I have been here once before, at here I ordered Chicken Enchiladas de Michoacán They were just like the ones home aside from the chicken being served besides the enchiladas but the enchilada sauce was amazing. I ordered the same after the holidays to go/pick up, I was very disappointed the sauce was your typical red sauce. I have to say I was not happy. I had been craving my enchiladas for a long time and was disappointed. I'll have to try again!! The place is quite cute, nice murals on the wall, colorful.
