I used to work a couple blocks from here for two years. I would come 2-3 times a week!! Not kidding this is an amazing establishment. Birria fridays are something to look forward to. Yummy agua frescas. My regular spot for lunch.

Holy moly this place is good. They often have a line out the door, and now that I've eaten here, I can see why. The service is relatively fast - I think they told me 10 minutes, and it was less than that.
There's not really any ambiance - the only seating is outside on the sidewalk.
I had two tacos: one fish, and one shrimp. Both were fantastic - so tasty they didn't need avocado or sour cream, though that's an option. I went for the mild salsa, which was plenty flavorful for me as I'm avoiding spicy things right now.
I'm told the steak burrito is the thing to get, but it's hard to imagine anything on the menu is less than stellar.
Will definitely be going back. -
Never ate here previously but decided to order Door Dash. I honestly expected the worst but I was mistaken!! My Surf & Turf burrito with added chicken & shrimp was !!!! I also had the homemade chips (tooo greasy & added to the bag straight out of the oil is not cool) which came in a grease filled paper bag but they were delicious with my rice & beans ( once I got it home & seasoned it). Definitely coming back!
Suggestion: Drain your chips prior to put them in a bag for Your Customers & season the Rice & Beans! They are currently too bland! -
This is hands down my favorite place to eat in the whole bay area. Not exaggerating the food is amazing! The owner is the nicest person ever and same goes for the workers! They don't have seating inside anymore but i honestly don't mind eating outside on the tables or even taking the food to the lake and making a day outta it! 100/10!!

The people working were incredibly kind, and the food reminded me of home (: I got the potato flautas w/ refried beans and YUMMY is an understatement. These are a MUST TRY ‼ please do yourself a favor and get some. My partner got steak tacos which were also chefs KISS so so so good. The jamaica !!!! so yummy.
