★★★★★ 5.0 Jensen Novak · Jan 2025

A coworker suggested this place and wow, it is amazing. The food was amazingly comforting. After working out this morning, this is what I needed. Prices may seem steep, but our meal came with coffee and the option of bread / homemade tortillas. Totally worth it. Not to mention there was a good amount of food. I can tell the ingredients are quality ingredients. Found my new go to. Staff were very nice and kept this place super clean.

★★★★★ 5.0 David Rosenblum · Jun 2024

Went here based on reviews (Yelp) and didn’t disappoint. Staff is super friendly and accommodating, food was delicious, and I got a little culture lesson on how to eat the black beans properly (mix in sour cream, dip bread). Will def be back if I’m ever in the area again.

★★★★★ 5.0 Silvia Sharpe · Apr 2025

This is a newer bakery in the area. It has a small parking lot. The inside has always been clean and the bread always looks and tastes fresh in addition to very neatly presented. My parents like it as well. The service has always been delivered with a smile. As far as the foods, I've only tried the tamales and they were good. The pudin is my favorite bakery item. 😋

DO NOT COME HERE everyone is friendly but it's self served. They will bring your plate to the table, but you must get up and bring everything else. Even if you ask politely to the waitress she will direct you to where to get the utensils. Also all food orders comes with coffee included. If you don't want the coffee and want to substitute they will still charge you for the coffee. If you want a refill they will charge you for a refill even though one of your orders you didn't get coffee and got something else. They change for everything extra. Also not to mention the cashier is the waitress.
