What are huge disappointment to visit this new Mexican establishment, and experience poor service (we watched as many others walked out with orders made way after ours) sitting at a table waiting for our number to be called, that had leftover food and containers, and lastly arriving home with what we were truly looking forward to: our favorite chili rellaños, veggie tacos, nachos and salsa…only to discover the taste was ok at best. The salsa looked like a mixture of guacamole and hot sauce, the nachos were topped with a “cheese whiz” kind of topping, and we ended up not even eating. For the price ($73.29) it was a rip off. Some of the worst Mexican food we’ve had.

This authentic Mexican restaurant is right in downtown Santa Rosa, just across the street from Old Courthouse Square. It has only been open for about 6 months and business continues trying to flow and increase. I would like to first comment on the service there. I give full credit to one of the waitresses, Erika. She is doing a fantastic job with her customer service. She always makes sure her customers are taken care of and she’s very friendly. She is one of the reasons I continue coming back! Next, some of the dishes are actually quite tasty. I would recommend their birria tacos, flautas, sopes, and even pozole! I think their horchata was good and I loved the little strawberries they added on the edge of the cup. They have a salsa bar to choose the salsa of your own liking. They have taco Tuesdays and tacos only go for $1.49! My friend and I are in love with tacos de lengua. They cook the lengua very well. Lengua is cows tongue for those of who don’t know. There is two stories so there is seating outside, downstairs, and upstairs. The second story is actually where they have weekend entertainment. Friday’s are disco and karaoke from 9pm to 1am and Saturday’s are karaoke from 9pm to 1am. The art work painted on the walls are famous people like Frida Kalo and actors on popular Mexican tv shows which is very cool. The only downside is there isn’t easy wheel chair accessibility. So I would just be aware of that. There is parking in front of the restaurant or across the street in a parking lot. The only things I would say that can be improved for increasing clientele is upping the advertising. If you love cheap tacos and the taste of some authentic Mexican food you have found yourself a new home!

I love to come on Tuesdays for taco Tuesday. I ordered pastor which is pork and chicken tacos for $1.49. Unfortunately the pastor was too dry. There was no flavor and it was hard to chew. I wouldn’t recommend. Their chicken was better. I love to see Erika still working there! She continues to be an asset to this restaurant with her bright and positive attitude. I hope management is taking care of her well! I also noticed they started adding lime and orange slices in the water which I find refreshing for both the mouth and the eyes. The glass cups they use are also very sturdy and nice.
