Hector and his wife built a cult. Seriously! I have been following them since 1996. When my son was born 15 years ago, Hector sent my favorite Chicken Soup to the hospital (his wife's recipe!).

Stopped in after a business meeting and had the chicken soup and a shredded beef burrito. Both were fantastic! The chicken soup was loaded with white meat. I had a cold and it really hit the spot. The place was packed with locals. I will make sure to eat here again the next time I am in the area.

This is my favorite place to get Mexican. They serve almost everything under the sun, including a chicken soup to die for. All thumbs up.

The food was bland, the margerita was weak. Pretty restaurant though and I was looking for something safe. As a friend later said "It's a tragedy to have bad Mexican food in Escondido.

Their chicken soup is amazing. Every time we aren't feeling well, that soup is coming home. We like it without all the fancy stuff like avocado. Quick and yummy.
