Read moreWanted to try somewhere new and not a chain in the Buellton area and decided to try this place for lunch. Kind of a run down exterior, but that often doesn't mean much for good Mexican restaurants. This however just ended up being in need of an update all around. The one server was friendly and immediately welcomed up and got us our table and drinks. The menu looked decent, but was surprise to see only one burrito option. That being said, I do want to come back to try some of their whole fish since that is something relatively hard to find around here.
My wife ordered a chile relleno and I ordered a chile colorado burrito. We got our meal very quickly, within 5 minutes. We hadn't even had a chance to touch the chips and salsa. The burrito looked good and was of decent size, especially for the price. The chile relleno however was the opposite.

The burrito was decent, but the meat seemed bland compared to other chile colorado I have had. Over all it was a decent experience especially considering the price and service.

Read moreNice waitress, good ambience. I ordered the cielo, mar y tierra. It comes with breaded shrimp, nice and crisp with good flavoring, a whole roasted quail flavored perfectly it was my favorite part of the dish. It also had a grilled flap steak with great flavoring. The dish comes paired with refried beans and rice, unfortunately these were both cold. I also had a cup of tortilla soup, this was my least favorite, the broth had way too much vinegar, or had gone bad... Just unpleasantly surprised with the broth flavor. My boyfriend had the Seven sea soup, comes with green mussels, shrimp, fish, scallops and octopus. The broth had a nice flavor to it, and the portion size is big... Definitely nice...
