Service is great and fast.

Great crew, all smiles and information and since this was our first time; we needed it. But if you aren't aware...it's tacos and burritos; various proteins. The food was decent; could have used less fatty-ness on my asada taco but their specialty fish taco was reportedly good. Our order was a little jumbled due to it being our first time there. Dig the salsa bar; little kick in the guac and the verde. Pricing was $6 for 2 tacos. Think I might try the fish or the chicken next round.

First time at La Bufadora and it was amazing! Got the taco combo plate with two crispy fish tacos, rice, beans, a grilled chili and lime to squeeze on top of your tacos. Tried both red and green salsa, green was my favorite. Delicious food, plenty of tables, and very spacious. Can’t wait to come back!

The food here is always delicious! I came by after work to find out this location is closing due to the rent being raised! So sad to see you guys go. It's unfortunate for such a great business

Love this place! I’ve been here and Montclair location. Great food. Nice set up. Great with call ahead orders. I will note you have to go in store for specials. Online ordering does not currently accommodate special menu items or deals that they offer. Seafood soup and potatoe tacos

Simply the best authentic mexican food you can pay money for! They had a food truck at king of the hammers and I had it last year and this year and it was off the hook both times! The carne and the fish are my favorites.

We absolutely love this place. We’ve had it before at another location, but I could tell you this much, Hemet will never disappoint.
