    Everytime I come to Manhattan Beach for the water I always come to this place. I happened upon it during my first visit and have been coming back since. You are served with complimentary chips and salsa.

    The food is delicious, flavorful, and inexpensive for the area. I especially love the shrimp tacos.The service is fantastic. This restaurant is just a short walk from the Manhattan Beach Pier, which is also great.

    I truly cannot recommend this restaurant enough. During my next beach visit to Manhattan Beach, I will definitely be returning!

    Great food slow service. We needed to get some legit Mexican while in the LA area so we found this place in Manhattan Beach. It's a small joint in the middle of a pretty nice area.

    The spicy guacamole was excellent - smooth texture and full of flavor. Spicy means Jalapeños!
    The one complaint I have is the kitchen seemed quite slow. Lots of waitstaff waiting around and delivering chips and salsa. The chips portions were relatively small - maybe they were freshly made - but we probably had 6 baskets of chips between the 4 of us.

    When the food finally did arrive, it definitely hit the spot. My dinner was very good as I had an asada taco, Chile relleno, and a pork tamale. Oh and for an added bonus (for me anyway), they have ORANGE BANG! I wish they had this stuff on the east coast but unfortunately, it's nowhere to be found.

    This place is the best in Manhattan Beach and probably in all of Los Ángeles Area with the best Mexican food , I been coming here with my family for a while and it's always good, it's incredible the prices.  Everybody is special with the customer service and of course the owner is always smiling.  Thank you for this wonderful place and you guys are the best
    SEE YOU MAÑANA.

    Delicious late night tacos and beers.  This small shop wasn't fancy but the service and food were awesome.  Tried the alpastor and asada taco and my husband had the fish tacos.

    Always make a stop here before dropping my friends off at the airport, we found something very close to the airport and the beach. Our server was very polite and attentive. I had the nachos and added beef on them, they're delicious. Simple plate but real good taste. I love coming here. I would totally recommend, you won't be disappointed!
