For being in a very small town, this place is absolutely authentic and extremely tasty...let me take that back. For any City, town whatever, this place is great. They have a pretty large menu. Breakfast lunch dinner, and a large seafood selection. Expect to wait as this place is usually pretty busy.

My husband ordered the regular burrito with stk, it was huge! He loved it. I ordered a al pastor taco salad with no rice. It was lacking on the salad part but the meat and beans were very tasty. It was filling. I also enjoyed a delicious Micalada but that was expensive. This restaurant is attached to the Am Pm Gas Station. Parking can be challenging. But it was very obvious that they had alot of regular customers.

We always come for the tacos . They are AMAZING!! The service is always nice and they bring you chips and salsa that I could eat so much of! It really is a great place to eat. Food comes out super fast and, for me, is the best tacos by far around

Muy delicioso! Wow this place was a great fan. My husband and I had to order more. Everything was so tasty. We had the carne asada and then we ordered carnitas and Al pastor tacos. The chips and salsa were great. Great rice and beans and I loved the grilled jalapenos. If you want authentic Mexican check this place out!

My wife and I always stop at this Taqueria when we drive through Willits. We come this way maybe once or twice a year, but throughout the year we always talk about how good their food is. For me, the super steak burrito is to die for. I’ll be headed up that way soon for my birthday and that is the first stop We’re making on our trip up north.

Omg this place is legit! I ordered a carne asada super burrito and it was bomb. The flavor of everything was so on point and it just mixed together to make one of the best burritos I've ever had. The meat was tender and seasoned to perfection, the beans were so good and the rice was soft and flavored but not too salty. Not to mention the salsa they gave was just added perfection. Even my 5 year old son that doesn't like pico couldn't stop eating it with me.

We stopped here for the first time on the way back from Fort Bragg. Delicious food! We are hispanic and can be very picky about a good “ mexican meal” .. this place has great flavor in all the plates our family got. The favorite was the tostada de ceviche so flavorful ! Tortas, nachos and chicken tostada were great too! The tacos are loaded with meat and great flavor! To top it all off great customer service and nice and clean! Definitely would recomended!
