"They have the best Chile Rellenos of all! Seriously a foodie dream come true. The rest of the food was good. The service is exceptional, very friendly, inviting, and professional. The decor is beautiful. Take a moment to enjoy the subtle yet gorgeous mural. Provecho mi Gente!"

"Friend and I went for Breakfast. They serve lunch and dinner as well. Additionally they have a bakery attached so you can even get some sweet breads and other types of baked goods. The restaurant is tucked away and you will have park in one of the parking areas, and the spaces fill up during busy times. So probably gonna have to walk a bit. Overall the breakfast was pretty solid. You can get very basic breakfast (bacon, eggs and toast) or a nice Mexican style breakfast (chilequles, mechaca, rice, beans and tortillas. You will be served chips and salsa as part of your meal. They have a full menu too and the items looked really good. I will have to stop by again for lunch or dinner. It looked like they serve their whole menu all day, so time doesn't look to matter. Drinks; soda, tea, coffee and beer. You can get wine and some margaritas, but you will not get a mixed drink here. Service: it's seat yourself at an open space. Also the servers are going to be busy and you may just need to flag them down as they may not have seen you sit down or If you have been helped yet. So just raise a hand or wave them down. Same thing when it's time to pay, just wave them down."

"The busiest place you’ll find in Pomona. Seriously. This is an establishment really. The food is good too because people flock here and it’s busier than downtown. Pomona will be dead and this place will have more customers than the entire downtown Pomona. There is even a Mexican bakery (panaderia) connected to the other side of the restaurant. It’s a pleasant surprise to have the two businesses connected. I went for the bakery and then I saw the restaurant. Considering Pomona is not very interesting, this restaurant and bakery are busy and feel they belong here."

"My wife and I have never been here and wanted somewhere near our tax guy. I chose this place and was pleasantly surprised. Parking was somewhat hard to find but 2 hours are free! Outside looks kind of rough but inside looks cozy and like a busy cafeteria. Once seated the service is excellent. I had pancakes and eggs, my lady had Menudo which was so tasty. Pancakes were so good and so were the potatoes. So much flavor. We highly recommend and there is a bakery right next door. They also serve beer!"
