“ Few places manage to bring a smile to my face when it comes to eating a quick meal. I found this place by chance, originally looking for the one in front of the street. LOL. I ordered a “mojarra al ajo”. My Gosh that was delicious. The whole city should come to try this dish. In just 5 minutes they prepared me a generous plate that I devoured with a smile from ear to ear. Amazing and original taste. At least I had never tried anything like it. The garlic pesto is set on top of the fish and it also can be used as dip for the fries (yes it comes with fries). 4 delicious tortillas, salad and rice accompanied this exquisite dish, so I even dare to prepare me some “fish tacos”; o man I’m so happy. They also have an amazing salsa bar!!! April 9 2024: Came back and tried the steak and eggs plate. Truly awesome, delicious and vast!!! Excellent place, good Mexican atmosphere and very friendly owner. Truly recommend this place. Hopefully will come back next time I’m driving around around the city. ”
“ Great fresh cooked food at great prices. ”
“ Personally I really like the food here but it's out of my walking distance. When I do my laundry I would usually swing by here and order an Asada Nachos or a wet burrito. Their 2x taco rice and abondigas is pretty good; it's not filling but I'm not hungry either. Sope is good. Their salsa is spicy Their food feels very "home-made" so it really hits the spot. If Chanos wasn't so close to where I live I'd be stopping by here more. Gladys is cool and good too, but I always find myself walking across the street to eat here during carwash. It's a small mom n pop business so don't expect a fancy place. Ppl there are friendly and lots of asians come by here too. Most items are around 10-16. They do have deals breakfast and lunch I think, but I don't get off till after 5pm. Lots of parking. It's in a plaza next to a laundromat, dry cleaner, and a real estate company. If you go after work there's usually lots of parking space. ”
“ Great small little place with great food. Across the street from the Mission Carwash. The place is clean and the food is authentic I stop there on the weekend morning for there Huevos rancheros ... ”
“ Great food!! I've been going there for many years. ”
“ Order Macho burrito and chicken burrito and manudo. Size is amazing. Not much flavor or salty, which is good for health. Mild and not oily, perfect. Service is good, English good. Happy with the old guy and FOOD ”
“ 4.5 but they get bumped up just due to exceptional customer service! The staff was so friendly and attentive. The food was really good too and not bad with pricing. The place is a bit small but still had plenty of seating. Parking lot was a bit confusing but we found a spot right next to the place early on a Sunday. When we got there there were maybe 2-3 other people and as we were eating like 10 showed up. Seems like a popular place, and the staff were greeting some as old friends/regulars. My husband and I each got the chilaquiles. They seemed like a mix of migas with huevos a la mexicana. A bit different than what I have eaten at other places but delicious nonetheless! The beans were so good too! Overall I would definitely recommend this place and if I'm ever back in the area I will be sure to eat there. ”
“ I know a lot of people will say their relatives cook better or whatever, but I don't come from a Hispanic family at all. This is a Mexican restaurant located close to me. Also, every single time I come I see many Hispanics enjoying their food. With that being said, my parents and I like their fish tacos. Macho's food always comes in reasonable portions, is satisfying and it's not expensive. I wasn't able to try the chips, since my parents devoured them all. Just tried the pork quesadilla today, it was okay but meat a bit too dry. I'd go back! ”
