Came on a Thurs afternoon for lunch takeout. Pretty busy, tables were available to seat. Staff was attentively quick to serve and amicable. Ordered a chorizo burrito and it was good albeit was inundated with grease which made the eating experience messy. Establishment was clean.

Great home made food! Hand made tortillas flour and corn! Great home taste dishes shredded chicken is tender and full of flavor. Soups taste almost as good as my father in laws! Place is small and could use a make over to be prettier but its hard to find authentic food this good! This small place is the definition of a “hole in the wall” but in the best way!! Their specialties are NOT to be missed. No dedicated parking but easy to access. There is a bathroom and a bar and highchairs. They do normally take cards but were cash only today

Had the fajitas mix plate with fresh tomatoes jalapeños and onion sautéed with beef and shrimp … too bad only get 3 handmade tortillas with order… the chile relleno was too soggy with too much salsa on top it for my taste… their michelada and horchata were on point

We love this place! It’s one of our favorites, they serve authentic Mexican dishes. Our favorite to eat are the shrimp and garlic plate, my husband usually has the menudo. It’s delicious let’s not forget the agua fresca or orchata!

Cozy place for great food. The facility is dated but the food is definitely worth it, great tasting dishes, good portions, competitive prices, try the Cocido de Res (beef soup) for a wholesome meal.
