My wife and I loved it. It felt like we were at home having freshly made menudo. With handmade tortillas. It was worth trying it out. We will definitely be going back to try other dishes.

TO BE HONEST my friends, neighbors, families come here for years since we were a kid and now my son and niece loves it here and dance. I recommend to everyone here best quality of everything fresh not reheated. Please avoid negative comments from toxic energy they don't value realistic. Toxic energy humans just want everything cheaper or Free. They are crazy . Happy early Christmas and new years!

Bomb Chiliquile burrito!! I know I spelled it wrong but you know what I'm saying. It was pricey 15 but it was huge. The place is super small but I'd rather get it to go anyway. Ill go back for more for sure! I burrito can feed 2.

This small restaurant in downtown Oxnard has the best homemade tortillas I've ever tasted. I ordered the chilaquiles and the meal was served with beans and rice and two eggs on top. I mixed it all together and with the fresh corn tortillas it was Amazing.

Very very very authentic Mexican food, just like If you were in Mexico. Chile rellenos that use queso fresco, costillas, chilaquiles, tacos dorados. When I want to eat like I’m in Mexico, I come here.

One of the best places to get menudo! Properly cooked and made tender while keeping it's succulent flavor. The broth is flavorful, yet not too oily. My long time favorite spot for Sunday breakfast.
