My husband and I had such a great experience! We ordered a mixto molcajete. The shrimp, steak and chicken were absolutely delicious full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The rice and beans were fresh, well-seasoned, and complemented the meal so well. You can really tell they care about the quality of their food. Highly recommend!

I came in with my husband a few weeks ago, the place is nice and clean. The parking situation in the front is a bit right but more parking around the back of the building. We went on a weekday around noon. Not crazy busy or anything so nice place to have lunch. The service was good. I ordered the red chilaquiles and my husband had the breaded chicken torta. We also ordered the asada fries as an appetizer. The fries were delicious. They had the perfect crispy crunch and softness. The Torta was good too. My chilaquiles were good but a bit dry, i think it was the sauce a bit too thicke and not spicy for my taste. But not their fault, i like my food really really spicy and all i could really taste was guajillo pepper. And that was with me having them add the diabla sauce. I would definitely co

We came in and were warmly greeted by the waitress, who invited us to sit anywhere we liked. She was super friendly and even brought over a high chair right away, which was really thoughtful. I ordered two tacos — barbacoa and chorizo — and both were fantastic. The barbacoa, in particular, had amazing seasoning and was packed with flavor. My husband was extra hungry and went for the machete with chorizo, al pastor, and asada. All the meats were delicious, and the masa tasted fresh and homemade. Our waitress checked on us often and was consistently kind and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere — we’ll definitely be back!
