    Oh my gosh. Where do I begin?

    We were out house hunting and decided to check out Los Altos after a recommendation from a friend. We ate on a Saturday evening around 7pm and there were a few spots left in the parking lot. The restaurant is quaint, and has booths and tables available.

    We were greeted and seated quickly, and no sooner did our butts hit the booth when the quad-salsa-carrier and chips were placed on the table, and my mouth dropped.

    I immediately ordered a Mango Margarita and settled in. The salsa highlight is the avocado limón crema salsa...I wanted a straw.  Thank goodness my instinct to drink the salsa was saved by the arrival of my perfect mango margarita- they use real fruit, enough said. Try one and die happy.

    I ordered the Chiles Rellenos dinner and it arrived piping hot and served with warm tortillas de maiz...they also offer tortillas de harina. I was so full after one chile, so I stuffed the second one in a take-out box. Authentic chiles rellenos, nicely seasoned rice and beans.

    A man was playing awesome guitar- Mexican boleros and other amazing classics. I felt nostalgic for Los Angeles.

    Overall, one of my faves. Clean, delicious, affordable. Just remember to bring cash, tus tarjetas are not accepted. :-)

    The place was fairly empty as everyone was still outside watching the parade. We ordered beer, tacos and a torta to share.

    The torta was huge and on the traditional roll. The breaded chicken was still tender with crispy edges. The chorizo taco was my favorite, compared to the steak taco, which seemed a bit fatty. I wish we had stayed here to eat more food instead of trying to restaurant hop. This was the best out of all the places we have tried.

    Service was super fast and friendly. We ate, drank and paid our bill in about 45 minutes. On our way out, we saw this big bowl of seafood soup (siete mares=seven seas). Omg!  We are coming back just to try that.

    Worst Costumer Service ever!!!
    The servers are always gossiping, the food is tasteless.
    No flavor at all and the food is old, and cold when they serve it!!! The salsas taste like plain water!

    Our beloved Mi Pueblo was closed so we tried this place.
    The guac was fantastic and I had a non alcoholic drink of grapefruit pop w chili spice that was divine. The cleanliness of the place was only meh. Behind our table where they had a cash out station they had left five chicken strips on a napkin sitting out so that was odd. They also had a mop precariously perched on a chair for all to see. Service was decidedly sucky. The waitress left our empty guac plate on the table the whole meal and barely came back to help us. The entrees were blah. It's hard to compete w the cleanliness , food and superb service of mi pueb!!!

    Even at DMV, I talk about food...    While I was at the DMV, my clerk and I started talking and she suggested this new place that's more authentic than my current go-to Mexican place.  

    After being seated, I was quickly served a basket of crispy chips and 3 different kinds of salsa w lemons.  Before long, I had eaten half the basket...  To my pleasant surprise, they had guisada, a stewed beef dish I had discovered and subsequently fallen in love with in San Antonio, TX.  Another item that piqued my interest was this queso/chorizo/ranchero mixture served w tortilla.

    What always surprises me when I go to a Mexican restaurant is how much food you get for the price.  For $15, I got incredulous amount of food.  Enough to have leftovers for a couple days.  

    Queso/chorizo mixture was cheesy and savory with a nice zing.  It was especially delicious w the tortilla and I made myself some bomb ass tacos.  Tortillas, unfortunately, tasted a bit stale and was harder than they should be.   What I was most excited for was the guisada.  Unfortunately, it was nothing like the one I had in San Antonio.  The meat wasn't as chunky, tender, and the sauce was completely different.  While my first one was almost gravy-like, their sauce was more oily and zingy.  I preferred the former.

    Currently, I prefer Mi Pueblo.  But, this restaurant has much more variety of tacos than Mi Pueblo, some combinations I've never seen anywhere.  Next time I'm craving some tacos, and I will come try their goat, chorizo/egg, and pork rind tacos.
