Largest, busiest, delicious, authentic Mexican restaurant we visited. So much fun! Nice atmosphere and delicious food! Music and such a nice server rounded out our experience. Have a feeling that anything you order will be delicious!

Everyone raved about this online and it was our worst meal of the trip. Not only is getting there on roads that are worse than the normal in that area, but the food wasn’t worth the drive. We each got two traditional Mexican dishes hoping for authentic mind-blowing flavors. It certainly did not do that. Save your time as I believe this might have even oversold to us. 🫤

Nice food and drinks - we had a dinner with many tapas and some drinks. Atmosphere, location and especially bartender Zygis were super cool. Great value for money. Recommended!

The only problem with this restaurant is getting to it. The roads are rutted and bumpy … and it’s a bit hard to find. But it’s obviously a local favorite. The breakfasts are fantastic and large. Quality of the food is great. The corn pancakes were mucho gusto! The cheese enchiladas and omelette was massive and delicious. For true Baja experience this is a must!
