  Micheladas here are delicious. Whenever I come visit my friend in the South Bay, this is our spot always. It is close to her house so it works out perfect. Do keep in mind that if they aren't busy at around 8, they do close up. Yelp says they close at 9pm and I've mentioned this to them before and they have said they close at 8pm. I then drive by and its packed at around 8pm and they are still opened and are still taking orders. Aside from that, very nice friendly staff, seems family owned.  I've had their tacos so far, since I'm such a taco person and they're good. The tacos are not dry but neither super greasy.  They serve you chips and salsa on the house so that's a plus.

  I used to come here all the time! But service was too slow too many times and they always close early. (like the previous post)
  
  It's Saturday at 8:30 and was going to order my food to go but they are closed. Oh well.

  Yummy Super Michelada and great service. Family and kid friendly restaurant. I was craving Mexican and husband wanted a place that has Super Michelada and we got children. I Looked around on Yelp and found this restaurant and the pictures on here of the shirmp Michelada convinced us to go here.
  
  I cross the White and McKee intersection hundreds of times but never notice this hidden restaurant. It is located all the way inside the 7/11 plaza.
  
  We arrived around 7pm for dinner and  from the  parking view, the inside looked slow and I was getting worried. We were too hungry so we decided to just go in to give it a try. As we approached the store front and the door opened , I'm starting to see that the restaurant was 80% filled, people were having good time , and loud Mexican music was playing on the big screen. I was starting to feel more confident and relieved. Whew!
  
  We were seated immediately. Our waitress Stephanie greeted and made sure were comfortable with where we were sitting. She provided the menu and was very helpful when I asked her for recommendations. I was craving and hungry and wanted everything on the menu so it was good to have her narrow it down.
  
  I got the chicken Enchilada(choice of green or red sauce). I decided to go with the green sauce since Stephanie said that it was more spicy. The plate of food came out hot. I like. Beans were well blended with the cheese. Green sauce  on top was on point. Enchilada itself were filled with good portion of shredded chicken inside. The salad was fresh and tasty with tomatoes and cilantro. I usually don't finish the salad but I did this time.
  
  Super Michelada were as delicious as they look from pictures I saw on Yelp. Shirmp were grilled perfectly and well seasoned. Definitely coming back here again when I'm craving for Mexican.

  Cute little spot if you are in the mood for some good drinks and delicious dinner. My favorite things were the shrimp empanadas, they were amazing! I highly recommend. I also recommend the super micheladas. They place lots of grilled shrimp all around the rim and the flavor on the shrimp is so yummy.
  
  Other favorites were the asada tacos and the fried fish. Service was fast and friendly and the place was really clean. I can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu.

  Super duper tasty Micheladas!
  
  Micheladas: rip was top off with grilled shrimp which were delicious! It was my first time coming to this restaurant as well as having one.
  
  Location: in the same plaza as the 7-11, plenty of parking available. Modern decor.
  
  Can't wait to try their other food and drink options as well for the next time I come back!
