1 week agoAn charming Mexican restaurant facing the ocean in seal beach. The takeout line can be long but it’s worth the wait. We went inside and WOW ! The interior is filled with great murals everywhere. The food choices had a large variety and the prices were very reasonable. Good bar too. The customer service is fast and helpful. Totally Enjoyed our meals and we will definitely be back with friends and family. Support this local gem.

1 month agoWith so many places to choose from, we decided on dining in for some Mexican food. They have a very large selection of items so it did take some time to decide on what to actually order. There’s a basket of fried tortillas that you do need to break up before dipping into the salsa. We ordered the shrimp fajitas plate that were served without vegetables, as requested that came with rice and beans. A wet burrito that was big enough to be split and shared with an a la cart shrimp soft taco. Everything was delicious and we really enjoyed the alcoholic beverages that were served with lime and chili. The staff really interacts with their patrons to make sure everyone is getting what they need. The empty dishes are cleared as soon as the staff sees them and the tables are cleared right away after people leave. The prices are pretty standard and the atmosphere was very friendly with the Olympics being shown on a TV.

3 month agoLunch with my momma. We love Seal Beach and she has never been here so it was a no brainer to have her try something new. And….. it is Tuesday so Taco Tuesday it is!! We sat inside because it was horribly windy today. Plenty of tables available. We glanced at the menu, ordered and started chomping on chips and salsa. We got our food super fast, too, before we filled up on the chips! Mom had a carne asada burrito and I had 2 shredded beef tacos a la carte. She really enjoyed her burrito. My tacos were excellent. It’s a cash only restaurant but they have an atm machine inside. You can also order at the window and take your food to the beach, park or home.

4 month agoMy family had a great experience eating here. The service was on point. They were very attentive. We not once had to ask for a refill on drinks or extra chips and salsa. The food came out really fast. The food was priced appropriately. We had 5 of us and our bill was $109 with everyone having sodas. They do have a cash only as payment which I can see a turnoff for some. But there is a ATM inside the business. If I lived in town I could give a better review on the food. I myself had a tamale, enchilada with rice and beans. I personally enjoyed it. The rest of my family enjoyed their plates as well. But had a hard time finishing due to large portions. So bring your appetites. Or be prepared to box up the rest to enjoy later.
