“ Went here from a few recommendations from friends and man, was it worth it! Definitely the best Mexican food I've had in some time... So worthy that I needed to write this. It's a hole-in-the-wall and I assume it's a Christian/Catholic runned business since under it's sign board "El Camino" it says "John 14:6". The staff is very welcoming and friendly... Perhaps the friendliest group of staff I've ever come across in regards to experiencing SoCal Mexican food. This is truly a gem. It will create an imprint.
