    Love this place! Very authentic!

    My husband and I took the drive over here from Newport Beach and we were not disappointed. We ordered 3 dishes, everything came out quickly and was extremely fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back here soon!

    I'm a huge mole fan and both we tried were awesome. Can't want to come back.

    Meh

    Food didn't seem fresh

    Fruit seemed older as well

    Mostly bland and ambiance is like a basement

    Not the worst

    Meh

    Everything is amazing here!! Get the molcajete. It's amazing. The tortillas are hand made.

    The only negative to this place is the parking. Don't park on the street or else you'll get a ticket

    Hidden gem in Santa Ana, Orange County for authentic Oaxacan style Mexican food.

    We had breakfast here, and it was very good! The chilaquiles rojo with chorizo was good, although I've had better. The heuvos dish was surprisingly tasty.

    The passions fruit juice is fresh and go great with any breakfast dish. The complimentary chips comes with Oaxacan style mole sauce on top with cheese. They salsa they provide is very spicy!

    The decor here gives very Mexican village house like vibe and all the walls has colorful artwork. The windows even have colorful curtains too!

    The service is slow, and not exceptional, but the food and ambiance here is as authentic as it gets outside of Mexico!
