Large portions, always delicious food. We took our food to go like usual but there is plenty of outdoor seating and some indoor seating as well. Taco salad was enough for 2 people easily, get dessert too because their churros and flan are delicious.

One of my favorite places to eat chicken tacos. I think I ate them every day for a week straight after discovering this spot. They definitely do not skimp out on the meat. In this economy what more can a man ask for.

My boyfriend and I stopped here on our way back from Central California. We saw it had great reviews and noticed they have two locations, but this one was more convenient for us and had the best ratings. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re hungry and in the area! We shared the chili cheese fries, which were a pleasant twist on the classic, loaded with beans and carne—check out the photos for a look! We also ordered a bacon cheeseburger (without tomatoes) and the papa taquitos with all the toppings. Everything was genuinely delicious, and we had no complaints about our meal. It was the perfect spot for a tasty, affordable lunch. The place was clean, bustling with people, and the outdoor seating made for a lovely day. Good food, great value, and no complaints from us!

They really have awesome burritos here. They are huge and very satisfying. I saw octopus tostada and had to order. It didn't really taste bad but I wouldn't order it again. Maybe it's just a mental hurdle for me

Very yummy food, I personally enjoy the fiesta nachos, even though it's nacho cheese. They're quick and polite and have never gotten my order wrong. They play nice music which isn't too loud but loud enough to enjoy. Overall, nice place 5/5.

Overall really good food. Chili colorado and chile Verde were really tasty and tender. The tortillas were dry and hard though. The chile relleno was really huge and alright, but not traditional. Chile was hard and wrapped in an omelet instead of an egg batter. Good flavor, but not what we expected. Beans tasted a little old and needed more lard. Portions are big. Nice patio area for our doggies. Reasonably priced.

Honestly of all the Lalo's in the area this one is the best. Not impressed by the other locations. Food here is always crispy, never soggy. Always has great flavor and we can walk right up to the window to order. They're quick and consistently delicious. I always get the carnitas chimichanga and it's the best comfort food around. The only negatives are that the parking is very limited and most of the time the dining room is closed so if it's poor weather then I recommend just taking it back to your car to eat.

Surprisingly good quality food for such a place. Just off a busy road, a few tables, a counter and fast service. On the menu mostly mexican sea-food. My choice was a hot dish with shrimps and two tostadas: with octopus and shrimps (served cold). Onion rings to make sure I do not leave hungry. As always, I ended up ordering too much. But I have not regretted any of the meals. All fresh, tasty, and... nicely served on paper plates! After all, it is a fast food shack.
