Got off the freeway to find food and was not disappointed with La Lajita, the carnitas chimichanga was delicious and the horchata was everything I was hoping for. From the outside it looks very hole in the wall but that's usually where the best foods are.

Hands down this is the best food in town. You won't beat their sauce and it is paired with amazing food. The staff is all friendly and the owners are locally loved by everyone. Fully recommend giving this place a shot, you will not be disappointed.

Restaurant just reopened a few days ago and it's the first time I've been there. So far both dishes I've had the chimichanga and the enchiladas we're delicious. I like this place because I'm from the West Coast and it is very close to a West Coast Mexican food. I have had to specify how I liked my dishes but they were willing to adjust and make it perfect. Prices are very reasonable compared to all other restaurants!

Super awesome food. We are here in an Air BnB staying between hiking trips, and this is a really good spot to visit. Delicious and inexpensive food, made fast and well, with great customer service. If you’re driving thru or staying, come here!

This is the only restaurant we visit regularly. Our kids (5 & 2) love it, and there are great “mini” meal options for kids. The 7 Seafood Soup is perfectly spicy and so delicious. Everything we’ve tried has been great. Very affordable and great people there!
