    The restaurant was exactly how I remembered it from when I was a little girl--warm, inviting, and full of nostalgia. It had been years since my last visit, and I'm so happy I came back! I had the spinach enchilada, and I'm still thinking about it. The sauce was absolutely incredible--rich and deep, with a flavor reminiscent of mole. The spinach was perfectly fresh, and the tortilla was so soft it practically melted in my mouth. You could truly taste the care and love that went into every bite. The price was more than reasonable, and the quality was nothing short of amazing. I'll definitely be returning soon! A true San Leandro gem, 100%!

    Marina restaurant is a hidden gem! Sooo good! The staff is friendly and it feels amazing to be able to support a mom and pop local restaurant! It's small inside and almost feels like you're eating at your Abuelita's house. Don't recommend for large parties but 10/10 recommend!

    I always look forward to the chicken salad here. Its seasoned very well and hits the spot for me every time. And the pico de gallo is one of my favorites... super flavorful.

    It's a cute mom and pop spot on Marine, it's literally just a really old couple working here. They have this very old vibe going on inside, we right away got sat, the nice lady gave us chips n salsas, took our drink order but then disappeared for 15minutes cause she had to help in the kitchen, when she came back she got our order. Our food surprisingly came pretty fast. I didn't really expect much from this spot so I got something basic like a torta and burrito de asada with an horchata. The torta was so good, I was surprised and it also came with a grilled jalapeño, the burrito was just as good as well and let's not talk about how amazing the horchata was. Torta 9/10 Burrito 9/10 Horchata 10/10

    Have not dined in, and I've only ordered the Chicken Alfredo, but it was a huge portion, like 3-4 servings and was always fresh. Very very rich, but so delicious! The bread and butter are just YUM! I can see how this place is often overlooked.

    Food- Burritos and Tortas I highly recommend Service- Always polite, professional, if they don't pick up on the first call try again it's a small place but it gets busy. Ordered pick up 11 tortas for the crew and everything was perfect as usual. Consistent always

    DELICIOUS MENU! So many great items to choose from, half Mexican and half Italian options. *All their Italian dishes are to die for Fave plates: Spinach enchiladas with green sauce, has a little spice kick to it, so yummy Recommend All their pastas Carne asada enchiladas Chicken torta Their grilled chicken whether on a salad or pasta is AMAZING!! And great portions Horchata is delicious Clam chowder-amazing Burritos are enormous and filling Chicken piccata is so flavorful ***if you call in ahead and ask for their seafood soup, they can start prepping it so it's ready to serve when you arrive (Caldo 7 Mares) - OUT OF THIS WORLD!

    I've heard this place has been here forever! & for good reason. Ordered a Torta for take out and it was delicious! The chicken was thin but not dry at all and VERY well seasoned. The vegetables were sooo fresh, & the bread really took it home for me. Was soft on the inside but did not get super soggy and held the ingredients very well. They also give you chips and salsa. The red salsa definitely has a kick to it so if youre not big on spice i would not advise but i prefer to dip my sandwich in it. Overall, ill definitely be back to try there other things. Ive also heard the fajitas are amazing.
