★★★★★ 5.0 Amy R. · Dec 2025

I have been here once and I have ordered takeout from them too. The food is genuinely so good. The portion sizes are perfect, and it is not even expensive. Everyone is very friendly, and I truly wish I had tried this restaurant sooner. Everything is delicious with lovely presentation and so much flavor. I’ve wanted to try Chilaquiles my whole life and I’m so glad the first time I ever tried the most from here!!! So so delicious.

★★★★★ 5.0 Breanne P · Sep 2025

Stumbled across this place traveling and so glad we did! Friendly, attentive staff, small space but clean and bright. Food was absolutely delicious and prices were incredibly fair. The steak on my fajitas were flavored so well and it was a great portion. First time there but definitely not the last.

★★★★★ 5.0 Maritza Alvarez · Mar 2026

I was just here today, it was very good! It was our first time and I definitely think about coming back with more family members. My husband loved their carne asada tacos! The meat was well seasoned. I had the arroz con pollo, it was delicious!!! 10/10 the arroz tasted sooo good and that cheese dip was amazing. I definitely recommend trying it out. I must say the staff was amazing and welcoming. I felt just like if I was at home

★★★★★ 5.0 Katherine Inoa · Jan 2026

Absolutely love this place! The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel right at home every time. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for dining in or grabbing a meal to go. This has easily become my favorite spot — highly recommend!

There are a few things everyone needs to try before they die, and one of them is the egg battered jalapeño relleno taco stuffed w cheese. It is the freaking best, and this heaven will only cost you $4. A close second/third at this place are the sopas and/or the al pastor and pineapple burrito with the orange hot sauce on the side. I had my first taste of delicious from here 8-9 days ago and I've literally picked up 6 more meals here since. Going back to try something new tonight! I would post more pictures but they would just be of empty tinfoil wrappers or containers. Atmosphere is nothing grandiose but the food is next level and I just do takeout
