This is like a hidden jem. Small little restaurant that is hidden next the the stater Brothers. Most of their menus is good. From there soups to their parrilladas. Come and take the mix sea food parrillada.
They had new owners over the years but the food doesnot change. It was called Eddie's before been coming here for years.

I recommend the mexican food over the burgers. The burger was good, but the buns they use can get soggy. Otherwise this place is pretty good. Theyre quick and food is good.

I love the food here! Their Chile relleno is absolutely amazing. The place is small but you can feel how much they care for their business because the food is always fresh. I never had a green Chile relleno till I went here and I have no regrets about it. I always come here whenever I can.

Went in today 6/13/2021 about 3 30pm. First time and looked forward to see what this small place had to offer. Quickly told to grab any booth, chips and salsa and menu were quick to my table. Server was super nice, and she took time to explain to me about the Birria Plate on the menu but weekends only. Sounded great and I ordered, came with rice and beans that were also good. Plate 12.99 and 2 cans of diet Pepsi at 1.50 each and ended up just over $17, left $24 cash on the table and will enjoy this place again!

Pros
Fair price, great flavor in the Birria meat.
Clean tables.
Very nice server, did

Great food. I usually get seafood. Every dish they make is fantastic. I have yet many of them and what I like the most is the parrillada and the grill shrimp. I totally recommend those two.

I didn't know they had a new owner I was surprised when I found out but were really going to miss their wet burrito sauce from before. The new wet burrito, it was still good

One of, if not the best tacos we've had in all of Orange County. During quarantine, this mom-and-pop shop has been open for as long as it's been able to while still following California guidelines for safe social distancing. The husband and wife who run this storefront are incredibly kind and thanked us multiple times for patronizing their restaurant. Please support this small business! The crunchy steak tacos alone are worth the detour.

I love the Chile Rellenos here. It's a little hole in the wall in the small part of the Stater Bros shopping center. But once we found it, we have gone back probably 40-50 times since. The chips and salsa are addictive. The waitresses are nice. The beer is cold. What's not to like? Well they do have soccer on tv a lot. But sometimes you have to go with the flow. :)

If you love salt, this is your place. I went for some Huevos Rancheros breakfast and it not only looked like a drunken person threw up on my plate, but that flour sauce had a solid pound of salt!! Not sure how the health department keeps this place open... If you went out the night before, and suffering a terrible hangover, this place will balance your electolites with the excessive amount of salt they add to their food. Terrible!!

Let me start by saying that the lady at the front register is just so sweet! Ordered a Chile relleno (cheese overload!) and filete a diabla. Very generous portions.. complimentary chips and salsa.

Pretty good but it seems like it's just like any other Mexican food place. I'd come again but only if I'm in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there.
