It’s the kind of spot that invites you to take a breath, settle in, and savor the small joys of genuine hospitality and familiar flavors.
The atmosphere carries the easy comfort of a beloved neighborhood eatery, where handmade tortillas and the rich aroma of chilies and slow-cooked meats fill the air. There’s an honest simplicity to the space, reflecting a respect for traditional Mexican cooking that doesn't rush or overcomplicate. Here, meals unfold naturally — from the first spicy bite of salsa to the satisfying chew of a huarache loaded with tender steak or the comforting warmth of a pozole bubbling with history.

Ordered a birria Seca and it was a little burnt. Salsa is good spicy but good. Service was not great never got a soda refill since the waiters were busy. I like the hand made tortillas but they are to thick for my liking.

I got the shrimp in garlic sauce with rice and beans. Food was really great. It also came with flour tortillas. I added everything and made soft tacos out of it after eating some regularly. I'd come back here no question for this plate. Also ordered a taco with pork chunks. The pork was kinda dry and the tacos don't really come with any additions to make it flavorful. Those are a HARD pass if I were to come back. Service was nice but I think they forgot about me after my food came out then a large family came in and it seemed my server just mainly focused on them. She was pleasant tho when I first got there and was waiting on me.

Honestly some of the best food in the desert region. If you enjoy food culture Indio and Coachella are worth the drive.

Very good place if you are looking for real Mexican food. I have been in several restaurants that offer Mexican Food but this is the first time I feel as it I was in Mexico in all senses, from taste to look of dishes. The only thing I would improve is the time for the food to be served. It takes a long time specially if you get there starving. The Alfalfa water is the best. Strongly recommended.
