Found this place working out of town. The place is one of those perfect casual Mexican places with a good selection of super delicious Mexican food. I was seated right away and ordered the Birriaramen. A fusion dish of Birria and Ramen. Wow what a treat. Delicious and plentiful. I hope these guys thrive and continue to provide "non-chain" real food. We need more places like this. Makes me grateful for the Mexican culture that contributes so much to life in California

My Bf ordered an asada torta and I ordered quesabirria tacos. Food is delicious! They bring chips and salsas out. The green salsa is tasty with a little spice and they have a darker super spicy salsa. Service is great and food amazing!

Great food - good prices - great selection. Too bad the place was empty. The Laotian place across the street was getting all the customers.

From the outside you might think it's not a good restaurant. Don't judge the book from the cover. Service was excellent, food came quick, and everything was so delicious. The waiter was so attentive and very friendly. My husband was so happy with the service that he left a pretty good tip. It is a small restaurant but they have it well decorated. Its ambience was cozy and welcoming. They have enough room to seat. We order quesabirrias, chicken sincronizadas, pozole, green chicken enchiladas, and ramen birria. Let me tell you, if you want to taste the real Mexican flavor you have to visit them. My husband said that he really love the quesabirrias. That their flavor was the best he had ever had. The sincronizada was a little spicy because it had some pickles jalapeño inside. But still delicious. My daughter said the pozole was excellent. The flavor was on point and the meat was tender and flavorful. My mother in law loved the green enchiladas. She said the sauce was very tasty and spicy, But still manageable. My ramen soups was the bomb. I added some lemon and chile and it was so, so delicious. We were very satisfied. My ramen soup was big portion that I had some for lunch tomorrow. For drinks, we got Jamaica drink, and soft drink. I also got a piece is coffee flan for free. I got a coupon checking in on Yelp. It was so, so good!! Yum!! Highly recommend. We will definitely come back and try something different or the same thing!!
