We
are
regular
patrons
of
this
charming
corner
restaraunt
in
Pasadena,
CA
with
its
unassuming
store
front.
There
is
some
great
outside
seating
along
the
side
of
the
building
facing
a
less
busy
street,
and
it
is
clear
from
only
a
couple
of
minutes
observation
that
staff
are
very
attentive.
The
parking
lot
is
small
and
almost
always
full,
but
street
parking
can
be
found
close
by
and
typically
with
little
searching.
The
inside
is
somewhat
darkly
lit,
but
is
comprised
of
many
cozy
booths.
It
is
welcoming
and
comforting.
Online
ordering
through
their
website
is
organized
and
incredibly
simple,
and
when
they
say
it
will
be
ready,
it
is
ready.
We
have
eaten
almost
everything
on
the
menu
and
just
about
everything
has
been
very
good.
My
favorite
is
the
carnitas
burritos
with
salsa
verde
and
cheese
on
top.
The
carnitas
are
obviously
slow
roasted
and
are
then
flash
fried
on
the
grill
to
give
a
great
crust.
They
really
are
quite
good.
My
kids
enjoy
the
shrimp
cocktail,
which
is
essentially
civeche,
and
they
also
like
the
flautas,
taquitos
and
chilaquelas.
Portions
are
very
large
and
food
is
typically
hot
for
the
hot
dishes
and
nice
and
frosty
for
the
cold
dishes.
Quality
is
typically
excellent
and
the
flavors
are
equally
good.
Price
is
actually
reasonable
considering
the
portion
sizes.
Is
it
truly
authentic
Mexican
food?
I
can't
really
say,
as
I
am
not
from
Mexico.
But
I
will
say
that
it
is
very
good
food,
it
fits
the
bill
for
us
when
we
want
the
flavors
of
Mexican
food,
and
it
is
one
of
those
places
where
you
not
only
feel
comfortable
trying
different
items
on
the
menu,
you
actually
will
feel
like
you
are
missing
out
if
you
don't
sample
everything
at
least
once!
I
rarely
give
5
stars,
but
this
place
earns
them
in
my
book.
I
am
a
big
fan
of
mom
and
pop
shops,
which
this
appears
to
be,
and
these
guys
are
doing
it
right.
