We absolutely love this place; the food, the people, and the prices couldn’t be better. I am vegetarian and my partner is not, yet these vegan options are as close to their traditional counterparts as anyone could hope for. My fav is the asada fries. They also have amazing horchata!
Bistec a la Mexicana legit is the closest I've had to what it tasted like that I missed before I went vegetarian years ago, type shii to make you cry happy tears in da club 😭🥲 Jessica is attentive and a professional, shout out to the rest of the crew's patience too 🙌🏽
Cute spot with nice outdoor area. Torta and Burrito were both excellent! Great flavors. Was happy to see that they were very busy on a Sunday. Had to wait a while for our food but it was worth it
