  First time here and I had the steak Taxqueño. It was amazing and I could taste every layer of seasoning & cariño that went into it! It's on the spicy side, but I happily ate it sniffling all the way through!
  
  On another visit I had the chicken enchiladas verdes and once again they did not disappoint. It's like there's a bunch of abuelitas in the kitchen cooking for all their grandkids!! A restaurant you will feel at home in.

  A cute little hole in the wall in San Pedro. Parking is decent- there was plenty of street parking when we went. I don't believe there was a private lot. We were immediately seated and the place is small and appeared clean.
  
  The waitress was very attentive- my water glass must have been filled at least 4 times even when I had just taken a small sip. The food itself was mediocre bordering on bad. My boyfriend got the Chile relleno burrito which was more beans than anything and I got a enchilada/chicken taco combo.  The enchilada was good but the chicken taco was tasteless and the chicken tasted dry and old. I legitimately had the thought that they were using old chicken to make the taco. It was pricey for what was served. I'm legit worried I'm going to get sick.
  
  Overall, I definitely would not come back and would not recommend this place to my friends.

  This is my favorite family-owned Mexican restaurant in town! The restaurant is clean, always decorated for different occasions, and the service is phenomenal! There's a wide selection of breakfast,lunch, and dinner items on the menu to choose from. Some of my favorites include the steak taxqueno and enchiladas verde. I also appreciate that I can call in my order and have it ready for pick-up.

  Being overcharged cancels out my interest in critiquing  the food.  I placed a phone order for 2 asada dry burritos, but received steak picado burritos and one order of beef taquitos a la carte and was billed $21.74
  Instead of $17.32 according to their menu prices.  Silly me left a cash tip on top of being overcharged...
  So I'm not too fond of establishments where I need to watch what they're charging.
  All in all, heavy on the pinto beans with very little meat.   So it was more like eating a bean soup burrito instead of the steak burrito you receive from Fantastic cafe or King taco.

  Warm and friendly atmosphere in the restaurant. Service is good. Food, dead average, with weird sauces. Not up to the quality and taste of say The Red Onion in Palos Verdes.
