Good standard mexican food. Festive atmosphere on back patio. Food comes fast and sometimes feels like they are trying to churn but it's not overly aggressive. Was $50 for two with tip and no drinks for plenty of food. PRO TIP: Park on Rose on the other side of Lincoln. risky to park in the Whole Foods lot which is usually monitored.

the cheese enchiladas were okay, the cheese was not super melty inside and the rice was a little dry. the flan was the star of the night and the churros were pretty good but didn't come with the chocolate sauce.

I'm not from California or southwest, so I may not be used to great Mexican food. But this is the best Mexican food I've had, made better with great surroundings. The inside of the place has decor like a Mexican mansion with great tilework and there's an oven making fresh tortillas right in front of you. Drinks are mostly different kinds of margaritas, but they have a few generic beers in bottles. The salsa dip for the tortilla chips was fairly hot; it was great but just a heads up. All the food was good but order the full plates to get a real taste of what they offer.

While down here from Canada on vacation, my wife and I came here strictly because this was my father in-law's favorite restaurant in the 70's when he lived in Santa Monica! And boy did it ever impress. The service was attentive and the staff were friendly. We came at lunch time and we got two lunch specials for $12.75 each. I got the beef tacos and my wife got the chicken enchiladas. Both plates came with beans and rice. Both plates were very filling. There was also complimentary chips that came prior to our meal arriving. This restaurant has been around since the early sixties, and we can see why. Its also open until 3:00am for those who are hungry for a late night meal.
