All the staff was super welcoming and sweet! One of the most authentic Mexican restaurants and markets I've ever been in. The food was also amazing and the service super fast

Delicious Mexican food, good portions and nice flavors. The staff was very friendly and helpful

Nicest people on the planet. Just plain happy to be here. And happy to serve you when you come in. I always get the chicken mole. Even if I'm getting something else, I can't pass up the Mole. It's my measure for a Mexican restaurant. If the Mole is good... you're in the right place. You also gotta try the abondegas soup. Yum. And takes you right to the heart of Mexico. Super authentic. There is a bad review on here about it, but the person just didn't know what they were ordering. It's the real thing. There are always fresh ripe avocados on the counter for sale. It just doesn't get any more authentic than this. If this doesn't meet your expectations, you're just not looking for Mexican food. Go to Taco Bell.

I ordered the fish tac and oh my lord hands down the best I have had in a long time. all the ingredients where fresh and you could taste the love in the food. the service was fast and friendly

We love the "Caldo de Res" big portion and yummy food Authentic Mexican food. I don't have more to say

Get the birria soup. I've only gotten it to go, but you get onions and cilantro on the side, a couple cups for some salsa from the salsa bar, and some hand made tortillas.

My wife and I were in Carpinteria and we saw this Mexican grocery that had also served food, we decided to try it out. You enter and you see big pots cooking over open flames and people in the back feverishly creating food for what seemed like locals after getting off work and getting some grub and selecting a beer from the cooler. I ordered the al pastor tacos to go from the super nice guy running the register, my only complaint is that it took a little longer than I anticipated, but the wait was worth it. I got two cups for the salsa bar and I got my order and walked it home for about the 1/2 mile walk. The picture isn't the best, because my bag tilted a little on the way, but you can see how much meat they give you, they definitely don't skimp. The meat is seared and spiced perfectly and the tortillas were perfect. I zapped it in the microwave for 30 seconds, just to make sure it didn't cool down on the walk home in this lovely little beach town. Both of the salsas were tasty, but I liked the red one a little more. I had an IPA to go with them and they were a perfect two taco dinner. Check these guys out!
