Decent food in Pasadena, a bit overpriced for what you get. The Baja tacos were pretty good. We sat outside, which was nice. Staff was friendly but service was slow when we went and they never came back to fill our waters.

Fantastic customer service here. They are usually very attentive, pleasant, respectful, and expedient. I was able to request the freshly made corn tortillas with cilantro, which I recommend with the queso fundido and chorizo. Their tacos de Birria are legit!! I recommend you try those, above all else. My husband asked for a replacement for the fish and they were able to accommodate. The servers were quite helpful with my mom as she uses a walker. They are also bilingual, which is a plus.
Pro tip: they have platanos fritos con crema and frijol (fried plantains with cream and beans). You just need to ask. I'm sorry I didn't take a pic. I will next time.

Wow, this place was really a great find! We got the Casillitas and Snapper and it was soooo good! The fish was super delicate and the ribs were very tender, and I came with a large serving of veggies too! Also the Brussels sprouts were so addicting, def coming back!

Grade A- (91): The service was very good, Stephanie was very helpful and responsive and made us feel welcome. The Papas Rellenas was awesome, so was the special Grilled Jalapenos & onions side dish she surprised us with since we like spicy. The NY steak was prepared very well for Medium temp, the Conchita Pibil tacos were also good well have them again.
The hard honest part: The Mole sauce on the tortillas was not for me, it was almost like drizzled Nutella, also the Tres Leches cake was dry and the icing was like the icing on grocery store cake, took one little bite and left it uneaten. I will not be having the Margarita here either, tasted funky. I will definitely go back, great service and great food, just a couple of things to avoid.

Latin fusion restaurant with flavors from many different parts of latin America. Staff is always friendly and food is never a miss.

Was excited by the high ratings to went to try out. Found everything kind of meh. The guacamole was OK to start but the chips were stale. I had a caipirinha and my wife had a margarita and they were both about as good as we could throw together at home. Nothing special. My wife had the achiote snapper and I had the branzino. Both again were mildly flavored. They were served on vegetables that were kind of flat tasting zucchini. Nothing was bad but nothing was great

We were here for a quick drink! They were able to serve us very quickly, it was a Sunday evening. We came here because we were visiting the Myers House which is located right across the street. Myers House is from Halloween 1978.

Happy-hour tacos, one of each of the menu's four, were good, at an outdoor table.

I used to regular here before my friend got pregnant. So coming back to Tevin behind the bar was pleasant as ever. The food is always delicious and the drinks amazing.

I had the 3 tacos Carne Asada that they were delicious and the lemonade for the drink was so good!! I will definitely be visiting this place again in the future.

Went here on a Saturday evening. Great place for dinner. We ordered the nachos, birria tacos, and paella, and each of the dishes were tasty, although, the nachos were probably the best part. It’s very quiet, there is ample outdoor and indoor seating, including bar seating. It was not too busy for a Saturday evening, so assume you can go here anytime and you won’t have to wait to be seated. I would come here again to try new items on the menu.

Staff, service and food were all 10/10. The red and green salsa that come with the chips was spicy. At least for me. The guacamole definitely put the fire out in my mouth. If you are a true lover of all things spicy.. the salsa may not ignite the flames you enjoy. The paella was delicious and the closest in flavor to the paella I enjoyed in Spain. Tacos and steak were cooked perfectly and so good. Even the fries were perfectly cooked, crunchy outside and soft inside.

Food is great. Service is lacking — probably depends which server you get. Not kid friendly — please parents don’t bring your kids here. Busier night than normal, so the staff was probably stressed out.

Finally, I tried this nearby restaurant. The food is very good. While the portions on the appetizers could be larger, the empanadas and papa rellano were tasty. Mole was great though in one they describe it as Oaxacan and on another dish as Poblano. Give credit where it's due please. My friend loved the Costillas so much she didn't share. I ate the Paella.Pretty Good but not great. Rice slightly mushy. Atmosphere on a Thursday night was pleasant. Not loud at all. You could hear everyone's conversations. I'll be back to try those dam rins.

My favorite little place in S. Pasadena. It can get a little busy, but worth it, food is great and cocktails are beyond good.

My first time to this South Pasadena neighborhood restaurant. We found easy neighborhood parking around the corner from the restaurant. The food was excellent. Had the red snapper with veggies and my dining partner had tacos. We both thought the flavors were excellent. The service was attentive but not intrusive. This has more of a bar set up. There are only a few low tables and mostly high top tables. Fortunately, we were able to sit at one of the lower tables as my guest has mobility issues that would have made a high top difficult. The cement floors and high ceilings would make it loud if it were full. We had an early dinner so we were able to chat without straining. Not sure I would go again when it was busy as I like quieter dining not the bar like din but definitely would go again early or order take out.

Je suis absolument d'avis avec petit futé, l'ambiance dans ce resto à South Pasadena est tamisée et chaleureuse.
