    Some of the best fish tacos here in Marin and probably the best price too! Good people work there and the walls are beautifully mosaiced with our local landscapes

    Horchata is really good (5/5) highly recommend! Co-worker got the pepita salad and said it was good Another co-worker had the chicken super burrito, complaints I had 4 tacos: 2 chicharron, 1 Al pastor, and 1 carne asada. Chicharron was good, carne asada was good, I'll pass on the Al pastor (my local taco trucks have fresh Al pastor that they cut right off the spit, so I'm spoiled and my expectations are higher for Al Pastor) Chips and salsa was also a pass. The "salsa" had zero flavor and I ended up dipping the chips in the hot sauces. Orange hot sauce had my mouth on fire and green salsa was really good too. It gets really busy at lunchtime and parking is limited and kinda tight. Worth a try if you're in the area

    This restaurant is always top notch for fresh classic Mexican food. I've loved everything I've eaten here, and there are dozens of many stand outs here/ too many to list. Part of the magic here is that the food ingredients are so fresh! The place is clean, casual and ALWAYS great. Courteous friendly staff, who care about the food they make and serve.
