The food is very good and the (family) service is excellent. The ceviche is amazing! We sat on the patio and the heaters kept us quite comfortable.

This place is absolutely the best... Make sure you ask for Brian, Carlos, or Victor... The Palomas are delicious. And the best thing on the menu to get is the chilaquiles with adding Berea taco meat.

I had to go here to check this spot out. Especially when I'm the biggest fan of Chilaquiles. I had them with a side of meat with your choice. I chose birria. I added the red salsa and it was everything I thought it would be. I also got a side of pancakes with berries and banana. I also tried the huevos rancheros. It was amazing also and one of there specials. They play really nice Mexican music and I think it's just an amazing place to have breakfast. I give this place 4 stars for the food it is really good. Juan also made me feel at home. Thanks I will be coming back.

The chilaquiles I had were the best I've had anywhere in SC County. Not too soggy...just enough sauce and the chips were still crispy. My eggs were cooked exactly as ordered. Service is super friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to return to try some of the other options on the menu.

FOOD: -lots of options -my salmon sandwich was delicious but the fish was a bit too dry 8/10 -salad was fresh and flavorful -my child's grilled chicken was also dry and salty. It didn't taste fresh at all. The broccoli served with the fries, while much appreciated, was way too microwaved and had no seasoning whatsoever. My daughter actually loves broccoli, but she didn't enjoy this broccoli. It didn't taste so fresh -other family member loved his pesto burger -others in our group really enjoyed their eggs Benedict -fair prices AMBIANCE: -incredible music played by friendly musicians -fun and colorful atmosphere -indoor and outdoor seating -dog-friendly establishment

If 6 stars was available I would give this restaurant a well deserved amazing review. I found this on Yelp with some great reviews. We were seated promptly with some very welcoming smiles. The chips, homemade salsa and guacamole were amazing. To top it off we ordered some Micheladas that were absolutely perfect! Several of us ordered the quesa birria tacos that were 10/10. The consome and tender meat were probably the best I've had. Amazing authentic Mexican food and great customer service made this the best meal in Santa Cruz. Best hole in the wall Mexican cuisine on the coast. Salud to the owner and his family who run this place daily.
