We were craving chorizo & eggs so we ventured after church and found this gem! The food is as authentic as can be (I grew up in Mexico so I am picky about Mexican food) and the service is absolutely amazing. Everyone is attentive and the food is prepared quickly! We've had the said huevos con chorizo, queso fundido natural, & the mole (oh the mole ). Their salsas are all great but the green one is bring home a container for the week good!!! This has become our post church breakfast date and we love it!!

Great little Mexican diner tucked away in a strip mall. The attention to flavor details is key here. We lucked out on a Taco Tuesday and got a variety of street tacos. The strawberry churros at the end with dark chocolate dip took it over the top.

Small hole in the wall in a strip mall type area. Salsa was good! Chicken mole enchiladas were also good, just a little too spicy for me (but would be great for most). Prices were reasonable.

Let's start with the show stopper- the shrimp quesadilla! The shrimp quesadilla was sooo good! It was loaded with cheese and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. And you get a lot of shrimp. My fiancé said it was the best shrimp quesadilla he has ever had. And I agree, it was great! 10/10 The cheese enchiladas with avocado added were great! Super cheesy and had good flavor. I also added eggs for more protein, and that really made this dish delicious!! 10/10 I will definitely be back. This place was amazing.

So, the friend and I needed to go to Anaheim to pick up some wood for some woodworking projects we were doing and I looked on Yelp to find a place on our way from San Clemente to Anaheim and back. Gonzalez's Restaurant popped out. Investigating more, I found that they had a special of "Pambazo" which I had never heard of before. I have a been to Mexico several dozen times for business and pleasure and no one ever introduced me to this kick ass sandwich and frankly, I am a little bit pissed off! I have had tortas, dipped in sauce, to help many a hangover, but I had not been exposed to the "Pambazo". So, I had a mission. We got to the small shop and there were several people in there, but not crowded. It was about noon on a Thursday. Hole in the wall place? Kinda, sorta, but very clean and not grungy at all. We were greeted nicely by a gal who's grandparents (I think, or parents?) own the restaurant. She was very, very nice and while some people ordered at the counter, she told us we to sit down with some menus and she would come take our order. While I reviewed the huge selection on the menu, I only wanted to try to Pambazo. Our server came to our table and was very patient as I asked many questions about the Pambazo options and the friend asked about the burrito protein options. What else, but I needed to try the OG, the Pambazo Papa con Chorizo. As we waited for our food, we were treated to some chips and a very tasty salsa. They should bottle it and sell it. Maybe they do, I didn't ask but I should have. Out came our food and it was piping hot. Yes. That's how you do it. As I poked and move the sandwich around, it was certainly soaked in the red enchilada sauce and I pondered if I should pick it up or get fork and knife. So unlike me (and most other men) I asked for directions from the server. She said I needed to pick it up and get my hands dirty, as that is how it is done. So, damn it, I did as I was told. This was the messiest deliciousness I have ever had. Bread was fresh and soaked with the red sauce. Chorizo was EXCELLENT. Lettuce and queso fresco were in there as well. Yum, Yum, Yum... Stop reading this, get your butt in the car and get yourself to Gonzalez's Restaurant. Now. Are you still reading???? Go. Eat GREAT. HAVE FUN!
