| - I found this place when I was travelling east on Sunset and wanted to bypass the traffic on Stephanie and at the mall. So I turned left on Whitney Ranch. You'll find this family owned restaurant just south of the Whitney Ranch and Russell intersection. I've come for two lunches and had two enjoyable experiences.
I chose to have table service for my lunches, but you can also order take out from the counter. While reviewing the menu, you'll get an order of chips and refried beans . The first page of the menu has your classic tacos and burritos. But turning the page, you'll find a nice selection of seafood entrees served as tostadas, cold seafood, and hot entrees. This is where my focus was as I've had the camarones a la diabla, camerones rancheros, shrimp ceviche tostada, and fish ceviche tostada. I thought the two takes on ceviche were excellent, generous amounts of seafood marinated in lime juice served on a crispy tortilla with nice chunks of avocado to cut through the acidity. My server suggested that I have the ceviche with their spicy salsa and that was the perfect bolster of heat.
The sauce with the camarones a la diabla definitely brought the heat but it wasn't too much handle. I had the cheesecake for dessert on one visit and thought it was just OK. I'll have to try the tacos and burritos on another visit. But Tuesdays would be the best day to come for the tacos as on Taco Tuesdays, tacos are $1 all day.
Service was slow one of the days, but the owner/manager stopped by multiple times to make sure I was fine. Pricing is fair in my book with the entrees on the second page being a little bit more pricey. I'm planning my next trip on a Tuesday to have some tacos.
