My husband and his parents have been coming here for years. It’s a family owned restaurant and they have been so kind to us all. Everything is always so delicious. The staff and everyone are always so kind. They speak English and Spanish. You always feel welcome there. I’m glad that I can go in knowing my order is always taken care of and so is my husband and the family. Everyone should come here. You won’t regret it! The BEST Carne asada burrito ever! The BEST sopes ever! The BEST little carne tacos ever! They have so much more that is so good too!

This was our first time trying the tortas ahogadas. It was really tasty and a decent portion. The quesatacos were bomb as well! Great price for delicious food.

Very pleasantly surprised by this hole-in-the-wall restaurant serving delicious food at reasonable prices and also well presented for basic Mexican fare.

I’d been going to the Mexican joint across the street for years and only saw this place last week, it’s hard to see and the parking lot is difficult. But inside, it’s a family-run place with the kitchen open to the dining area and twice the size. I’d gone in last last week for a nighttime taco snack and saw that they had legit Guadalajara-style food, including the Torta Ahogada. So I came back for lunch and ordered it. The young man asked if I wanted it spicy. Knowing that my ability to handle that has shrunk since I’ve become a viejo but wanted the true taste, I dithered and he said he’d put a little bit on. It was too much for this gabacho. I drank two hecho en México cokes AND four glasses of water before i asked for the cane sugar. It was traumatic! So yeah, It’s a great place and even better if you can handle the heat

Hole in the wall Mexican restaurant with delicious food and kind service. The chicken taquitos and the tostadas were the highlights.

Great place for take out! It’s so delicious. Do it. You won’t be disappointed. The al pastor tacos are addictive.

Stopped by to check out this little hole in the wall, which solidifies my theory that the best restaurants are these Mom & Pop little holes in the wall. This place did not disappoint! Had the carnitas torta ahogada & fell immediately in love with this place, the flavorful torta had just enough refried beans spread on the bolillo with perfect amount of carnitas…the sauce it was set in made the total perfection, just enough spice, I would have welcomed spicier but this definitely appeased my palette for spice. Small space but clean and apparently quite popular as people came both to pick up & dine in…Gotta try their Pozole next!!

My family and I have been coming to this little restaurant 15+ years. The food is decent, it’s a small place but worth trying. Prices and portions are not bad either.
