"I was really disappointed with the Sizzling Fajitas Especiales with chicken. The flavor was off, and it was mostly filled with onions and just a few pieces of chicken. The rice was overcooked and mushy. I also tried the Two Items Combination with Sopes, which included one pork and one beef. While the beef was decent, the pork was dry. The Sopes were also dry and fell apart easily. The Chips and Salsa we ordered came with a salsa that tasted more like tomato juice with a hint of spice. Overall, I won't be returning."

My favorite spot in Lake Forest! The chile verde is incredible, their beans and rice are seasoned just right, and the salsa is the best you can find.

Fantastic authentic Mexican cuisine! The crispy beef taco combo plate is my favorite. The homemade chips and salsa are delicious with just the right amount of kick! Thank you!

They did this right. I wish I could post pictures of they way the taco was packed, the big bag of chips, the salsa, but mostly the pozole. The sides were ample and nicely arranged but the soup itself was great. The broth was nicely seasoned, the pork was tender and ample, and the hominy was abundant. Ill have to try the other hominy colors next time. Well done!

Best Pozole in the area. Huge chunks of pork. I get the red but they also have White or Green with Pork or Chicken. They also give you all the sides where others substitute or dont bother. Pozole needs radishes, onions, oregano and cabbage. They also give you red chili sauce to spice it up to your own desire along with tortilla chips. The shredded beef hard tacos, mini chimichangas and chicharrones are also on my hit list. View menu
