About us

Nothing says “authentic” like family. Family-owned and family-driven, we've had the pleasure of serving some of the freshest, most authentic Mexican cuisine for over 72 years. All of our recipes are prepared from scratch daily and have remained unchanged since the day we opened. Whether it's our world-famous enchiladas, sizzling fajitas, or our signature margaritas, you'll quickly see why we've remained a San Diego favorite for generations of families.
