The Carna Con Chile is absolutely delicious and the best I have ever had…had it with all white rice and the portion was huge for a “To Go”lunch meal. Their guacamole is also outstanding and very reasonably priced. This is a small place and hidden gem for Mexican food. They also have a Mexican Bakery in the same building, offering a host of authentic delicious tasting bakery items. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner.

Nice little Mom and Pop Mexican restaurant. I stopped in for breakfast and liked that they serve you a small bowl of soothing broth , noodles and vegetables before your meal. I had the chorizo and eggs with rice and frijoles and hot harina tortillas. Nice way to start my day. I’ll be back to try more.
