Fish tostada special BOGO free was good. Fish was well marinated. We also had three tacos meal. Carnitas and pastor were very good. They have $4 draft beer when Dodger game is on.

This restaurant is in a central location in Downey, the food is delicious and the drinks are bomb! I had a michelada and a beso de tequila. Shout out to the bartender! The carne asada plate and the chicken plate are great too! They also have breakfast buffets with mimosas! Great place to check out for date night, girls night, boys night and families too!

This was one of my favorite spots to eat growing up in Downey. I excitedly returned to share the joy with my husband & sadly, was disappointed.
I ordered pozole, a fish ceviche tostada. My husband ordered cheese enchiladas, and my mom ordered carne asada tacos. While the food was good, it wasn't as amazing as I once remembered. The tostada's only discernible flavor was lime, to the point where every bite resulted in a puckered face. The enchiladas, while good, weren't as saucy as one might hope. And the tacos were just nothing to get excited about. The pozole was the highlight (or I'm just biased because I love pozole) and was full of meat and not just broth. But, even the broth lacked a bit of depth, compared to other pozoles I have had recently. And lastly, the horchata tasted pretty watered down.
The final straw was that the restaurant smelled clean, and not in a good way. It smelled like a bathroom and while I'm all for a clean bathroom, I don't want to smell that odor when I'm eating.
Will I go back? Sadly, most likely not. There are many good Mexican restaurants in the area. But, o will say, it's pretty cheap.
Ambiance - 2.5/5, could hardly stomach the smell
Food - 3/5, meh -

This is the place to be for TACO TUESDAY!!!!! Came here for lunch and they are so legit. The carne asada and al pastor was Juicy and extra flavorful!!
They didn't have a bunch of sides such as pico de gallo, but their house green sauce and red sauce made up for it. All of their tacos are $1!!!!! And it's huge. I definitely look forward to coming back here on Tuesdays! -

NEVER EVER use your ATM card here!!!! Last weekend my wife and I went there. I used the ATM right when you walk inside to take out money and still ended up using my debit card to pay for more drinks. The very next morning I get a text message from my bank at 6 a.m. asking me to authorize a charge for $349 at a tech store in the Philippines! Wth?! The fraudulent attempts have yet to stop & the things they're trying charge continue to get worse & worse. Thank God my Credit Union has my back.
