I went yesterday for dinner to try it out. I ordered the puffy tacos, one ropa vieja, one birria, very good, but the meat was not shredded, it was in big chunks, I almost chocked. Literally, The service was good, I ordered a mojito, but the glass had tajin on the rim..... mojitos don't usually have tajin on the rim. it was dirty.... I asked the waitress she promptly brought me a new one. The place was clean and pretty quiet which was great. I will be bringing friends next time.

Absolutely loved eating here last weekend! We had been here before in the past and I think they updated the menu to serve better combos which I was excited about. The service was great and I loved the vibe in the restaurant. Food was delish! I actually got full and had to take some home and it was plenty! Definitely the place to come if you're craving a pupusa!

Ate here for the first time in Dec 2024, and my main comment is that I wish I were in Manteca more often so I could eat every day at this restaurant. Two of us ordered two different things for a late lunch (burrito for me, posole for companion) and both of us were delighted with the fresh, tasty dishes. I wish the bar area adjacent to the dining space didn't have TVs on, but that seems to be the unfortunate norm these days in many restaurants.

Stopped by for lunch, and wasn't busy on a Sunday afternoon. Sat at the bar and they had the football games on which is nice! Ordered a puffy taco Sinaloa style, an empanada, and an arepa. They were all soo good!!! I loved the avocado sauce that came with it and the tomato salsa as well. Really complimented the three. The bartender was nice and quick. This place should be more busy! It was good and definitely worth a try. Very clean as well.

Found this place after an appointment at Kaiser Permanente, thought, "let's try it", glad we did. Our curiosity was the "puffy taco" on the menu, had to see what it was about. We typically go for crunchy tacos, but this was interesting and delicious. A new found taco place. Clean restaurant and a very nice waitress, Cynthia, she is sweet and friendly. I tried the puffy chicken taco and a ground beef empanada. Yummo! Hubby had a chicken taco as well and a carnitas taco. Another option is there's two different taco styles to choose from. Very interesting and delicious, definitely will be back. Thank you for a nice experience

Man. Still so good. Not sure why this spot is not crazy busy. Both Sinaloa and San Antonio style puffy tacos are delicious If in Manteca you definitely need to stop by and check them out

I have to say, I am so sad I always drove past here and never went in. Honestly, it always looked closed when I drove past so I never knew it was open. I have to say, this is some of the best Latin food I've tried in the Central Valley thus far. I ordered the mixed meal and chose a pupusa and arepa. It had to be the juiciest, mouth watering, melt in your mouth pork I ever had. I need to come back and try every menu item at this point. Amazing food and the server was extremely nice and welcoming. Highly recommend

The food was amazing. I had puffy tacos with rice and plantains. The meat I chose for my puffy tacos was chicken. Very very tasty. But, since we ordered through DoorDash the bottom was soggy and everything fell. Totally ok. Just picked up a fork and ate it that way and mixed in the rice. Plantains were a great dessert. Crunchy on the outside and ripe on the inside. It was good. I truly do not know about the service that you'll get but our order arrived in a timely manner. The ambiance, not too sure but am looking forward to visiting the restaurant to order more amazing food.
