★★★☆☆ 3.0 Carin Rudich · Feb 2026

This place use to be off the charts incredible, that wasn’t the vibe I experienced my last visit . The burrito was not what I remembered or expected. It was bland and the chicken was dry, pretty lack luster. Chipotle’s probably would have hit the spot more. I took home half and doctored it up. They do still serve their famous corn which was our favorite before heading home on a late night. The staff served a purpose but felt they were more bothered by waiting on people.

Had an amazing time here! The vibes and service were on point, but the food really stole the show. We ordered the elote, flautas, the pressed sandwich with tostones, and the steak plate with rice and beans. Every dish had bold flavors and came out at the perfect temperature. Solid 8/10 experience, I highly recommend!

★★★★☆ 4.0 James Johnson · Oct 2025

While out on a morning casual stroll and doing a little shopping, we decided to pop into this café for a light breakfast. It’s a cool little local spot with a perfect corner location. It’s small inside, but pretty cozy. They also offer outdoor seating if it gets too crowded. I had the Huevos con Chorizo with a glass of Agua de Jamaica, while my wife had the Breakfast Tacos and a glass of lemonade. Our food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Everything was made from scratch and cooked to order. The beverages really hit the spot, and based on the flavors, I’d say there are no powdered drinks served here. If you’re looking for frills and thrills, this isn’t the place for you. But if you want fast, casual service with good, fresh food, I definitely recommend checking them out.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tabby Brough · Jan 2026

Really enjoyed this spot for an early dinner. Everything was delicious but the main highlight was definitely the corn, I'd go back just for that. Had a really nice lemonade too. Service was also really good, super friendly and fun. Great spot 💫💫💫💫💫
