Employee's are awesome. Very family friendly and friendly people. Food is good also. My favorite is Taco salad (apologies for the bad pic)

Got a solid shrimp burrito. Definitely worth stopping by on the way home from Tahoe. Salsa was fresh. Got crazy busy at 5 pm

Our favorite place for mexican food. The food and service is outstanding. This place ticks all the boxes for excellent, authentic mexican food. Get a michelada while you check out the menu!

Good food. Once we ordered the food came out quickly. Friendly staff.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and were pleasantly surprised by this little place. The service was great, food was excellent and a good value too. The atmosphere is okay, nothing over the top, but it's VERY clean!! I'll take clean over fancy any day! We had super burritos (They are big!) Ground Beef and Carne Asada. Shrimp Taco and Al Pastor Taco. We liked their chips and salsa as well.

Many delicious things here and what gives me cravings here is their refried beans. Don't know what they do to them but just a bean and cheese burrito here is so very delicious to me. Soft chewy flour tortilla, beans and a little extra Jack cheese and I'm happy. Street taco's carne asada, are my other fav.

I am from the Central Valley living here for work and this is the best Mexican food I’ve found around here. The daily specials help with saving money but you get your moneys worth and always a bag of chips n salsa. A little hidden gem here for sure and it’s close enough to the highway to stop before hitting Clementine in the summer!

Came in for lunch around 11:00 AM. They were open I was able to order immediately the price was reasonable. I got a three item combination plate, and the flowers were awesome crispy yummy. The rice was excellent. The crispy taco was the best ever had and the tostada out of this world. I would suggest anybody driving by living nearby, or just looking for a Great Taco, please come here….

Hands down the best California burrito I’ve had, and their horchata was very delicious! It was very spacious and clean, and the staff were super friendly. We’re definitely making this our stop whenever we pass through!

Very friendly staff and great food. The burrito I had was huge. Barely able to finish eating it.

I had the best milanesa (breaded beef) torta (sandwich). Highly recommend it

The best Mexican Food that I’ve had for a long time, except for their free chips. That’s a huge thing but the food is so good you’ll be glad you have room in your stomach for more great food!😂

The food was good and prepared fast. I like the building it is in. It's unique. The service was a little slow, and we were basically the only customers, so a -star for that.

Easily some of the worst service and food I've ever had in my life. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend to at least hit McDonald's cuz this place is trash.

I don’t get it. How can you charge a person $20 for yesterday’s food? It’s dried out, burnt from the microwave and tasteless! The beans are from a can; I’d bet money! Authentic Mexican? No Mexican has ever been near this place. It’s bad cafeteria food. What a waste of money!

Came here for the first time based on reviews. Ordered a “super burrito”. Got 3/4’s through it and realized there was NO guacamole in it. Called the waitress over, I pointed to my burrito with no guacamole. She said sorry and walked away!?!?! No offer to remake it, no offer of a discount, nothing. No tip for you non-caring waitress! If you like tons of rice and beans in your super burrito this is your place. Also, the “salsa” they serve with your stale chips if from a can and not fresh made. Also has a sweet flavor. Another reviewer said this is the best Mexican food in Auburn?? If that’s the case it’s the last Mexican joint I’ll ever visit in Auburn.
