Brings me back to the old El conejo restaurants that used to be around the neighborhood (Irvine & Laguna Hills). The food tastes exactly the way I remember. The staff was very friendly. All of the food was made to order. I'm looking forward to coming back here. Update: We've since been back, and are still just as satisfied as we were the first time. Fantastic fast Mexican food.

3/7/2023 What a great little place. I stopped in for lunch today and ordered the chicken enchilada plate with chips, salsa, and a drink. The couple that operate this eatery are very kind and work to please their customers with authentic Mexican food and fair prices. My meal was enjoyable, and I appreciate the heart and soul this couple put into their food and customers. Highly recommended Prior visit A great place for authentic Mexican food. Stopped in today for a chicken, rice and bean burrito and it was very good. I stop by from time to time and their breakfast burritos and other meals are all good. They also have daily specials. The restaurant appears to be family owned and operated and I urge you to support this small business. The food is good, the people are pleasant and kind whether you take out or dine in. Great little spot. Highly recommended
