The super chicken quesadilla was good. I would have liked a bit of spice on the chicken. It was a bit bland. But it was fresh with big chunks and everything else was really good. I'm sure it would be great with meat with a bit more spice

The BEST and I mean absolute BEST chille rellenos I've had since my mom made them last. It's what I order 95% of the time whenever I eat any Mexican food. If it's not on the menu, I'm not eating there. However, I was very much impressed by their presentation and most importantly the flavor. Truly authentic, homemade and obviously with lots of love. They actually roast the peppers instead of boiling them (lazy). I'll be sure to pass by this place in the next time I'm in Hollister, California. Service was great. Friendly staff and a clean establishment. Salsa was also fantastic!

THE BEST ENCHILADAS I have EVER eaten! Dead serious! I have eaten cheese enchiladas all over the United States and I have now eaten these enchiladas twice. I absolutely love them! The secret? The diabla sauce. I am serious. You MUST try it. They do offer the diabla sauce on a series of dishes though. This is that hole in the wall, tucked away restaurant that you have been searching for. I will leave this on two words: DIABLA SAUCE, PLEASE!

Best menudo I’ve ever had. Excellent! Wonderful hangover cure. Place was full around 1130 AM on a Sunday. Was so good, that after a siesta I came back later that day and did takeout for chile rellenos which was also great. Couldn’t snag a pic of tamales because I ate them so fast.

I ordered a Chile Verde dinner take out meal for my father in the skilled nursing facility. He really enjoyed his meal. I asked the server to leave out the rice, and add more beans instead( dad's favorite), and with tortillas....heaven
