"My sis in law brought me to this place. What a find! We ordered the Carne Asada Fries that my son was raving about. He was right! It was worth the rave! I have the shredded beef street taco - it was so good! The shredded beef was so moist & succulent. My daughter & my sis in law ordered the potato taco - it had mashed potato in it, they both liked it. Complimentary chips & salad bar for more onions, lime or salsa. The salsa was so good with the chips! I had 4 helping of the salsa! Great & friendly service. Good food & great staff/service- winning combination"

"Been here for like the 10th time. I swear the food keeps getting better and better. Tried most of the dishes here and they are all delicious! Staff which is basically a very nice woman at the counter and a male cook in back. They have a salsa cart with a variety of condiments to choose from. There’s about 4 tables for inside dining. But outside there are lots of tables with umbrellas and a big water fountain for the kiddies to visibly enjoy. We will definitely be going back again real soon."

"The family and I came to have lunch here and we enjoyed their wet burritos. Its a small little restaurant with good food. I would have gave it 5 stars if they would have offered some guacamole and sour cream to go with the burritos but they didn't. Over all it was good and if happen to be in the area we will stop and eat here again. They also have good chips amd salsa!"

"Ate here about a 2 weeks ago and this place is really small however the owner is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and the food is actually quite good. The tacos were much better than I normally get at other restaurants."

"We came up from San Diego for a visit to Chino Hills. It was a hot and muggy day and we need to find a cool place to eat really good Mexican food and we found it! The restaurant is small but clean and staff is friendly. The food was delicious. The portions are generous, prices are good and the have a really nice salsa bar. We had beef crispy taco plates with rice and beans. Came with free chips and salsa. We will come back again next time we are in Chino!"
