I rarely crave mexican food so when I do, I prefer to try places that are highly recommended because why waste the craving?! Been wanting to try this place out for a loooong time and finally had the chance last night. Went around 6:30pm and we were seated inside immediately.
We will get to food soon but main thing that needs addressing… our server, Oscar. WAS AMAZING!!! We were lucky to have been served by him as first timers. He is funny, attentive, personable, honest, friendly, offers great recommendations, helpful etc etc etc etc!!! Top notch OSCAR!
Ok food time. I am a carnitas lover. SOOO, I usually opt to try carnitas from every place I go because gotta find the greatness. However… I decided to not try their carnitas because I am more of a chunk style, crispy fat carnitas kinda gal and their version is shredded. Oscar recommended an appetizer, described some items on the menu and I ordered combo 6 and the man ordered a carnitas wet burrito half red half green sauce.
Appetizer: shrimp stuffed chiles. They were tasty and quite yummy.
combo 6: carne asada was delicious and cooked perfectly. Chicken enchilada in mole sauce was very tasty and the chile relleno was delicious. Came with beans, rice, dollop of sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, grilled serrano, hand made corn tortillas.
Carnitas wet burrito plate: soo good! Carnitas were tender and juicy. Though it wasn’t my style of carnitas, the man let me try them and man were they good. HUGE burrito too stuffed to the gills with carnitas.
Over all, very pleased with our first time experience and will be back. If you ever get the chance to try this place, ask for Oscar because he made our experience amazing! OSCAR IS THE MAN!!!
Oh and you get chips and salsa upon being seated and they were yummy!

Food– we ordered the cheese molcajete with chorizo for appetizer it was our first time to try it and it was so good. As per servers advised we tried the Supreme Molcajete for 2… but it look like a magic pot since we already ate a lot and still the pot looks full, we took it home and even my mom loved it (she is very picky eater). Since I’ve been craving ceviche we also ordered a side of shrimp ceviche, again its such a big serving that it does not look like a side, it satisfied my craving, it was so fresh and tasty. big serving, delicious food and reasonably price, nothing can go wrong
Service — Fast, friendly and knowledgeable. Since its our first time we had plenty of questions for the waiter, and he was so patient to answer and explain the food to us, they were refilling our drinks even if its half full and they always make sure everything was ok, and mind you it was not a low night, but still they were a le to manage with ease
Price– reasonable for the amount of food they serve, we paid $ 58.00 total thats including tip, and we still have enough for lunch for 2 for tomorrow.
Cleanliness– it was clean both the floors and the tables… i was not able to use and check the restroom, but will definetely review it the next time we will go there
Parking– street parking and a 3HR free parking across from the restaurant

So I’ve been to the one in Rancho Cucamonga and I was very happy with that.
We went to this location for a breakfast with my mom and some of her friends from high school.
There were about 8 – 10 of us so we were seated in a different room off to the side. After about half an hour, management came over and told us that we needed to hurry up because they had a big party coming in and they needed our table.
So we hurried up and finished our meals, paid and left.
We will never go back to this location. I can’t believe they kicked our paying customers.

Wow, Awesome Authentic Mexican food. Everything was great CHEESE MOLCAJETE for starters. SOPITOS ESTILO TONAYA/​WITH THE WORKS. great. And the waiter was super friendly, ask for OSCAR .
Ps, don’t forget to order the best MARGARITA. !!!

I don’t wanna sound to negative, even though my first visit here was pretty rough to say the least!
My girl liked it, and the menu was pretty solid! That said I must let it be known that the kitchen staff sent me cold appetizers twice in a row after I told them please cook them thoroughly! Oh well I tried to remain optimistic, but when the waiter asked me about my chile rellenos and I explained what happened and why we did not eat them.
Her response was «there was not much she could do and she would let the owner know» Wow I’m not a cheapskate by any means, but I feel the best way to rectify the situation would be to take it off my bill! So at the end of the day I give them an unsatisfactory review, regretfully due to the fact I really wanted to like this place the ambiance is great love the music they play! I just can’t look past them making such a big mistake and not making it right.
I’ll be back, not any time soon but I’ll give them a chance to redeem themselves in the future!

Muy delicioso! Gastronomía auténtica mexicana. Los postres hechos ahí (me refiero a que no son de cajitas). El personal muy atentos, el lugar muy limpio y una decoración mexicana tradicional. Un lugar exquisito!

Exelente comida y muy buen servicio
Todos los platillos estan deliciosos, visito la fonda regularmente, ahora decidimos comernos un molcagete y como siempre, delicioso
