Ordered the coriso burrito. The burrito it self was good, the salsa was awesome. How lever the coriso was almost nonexistent. I'll still return based just on the salsas.

I would share a photo but the food is gone. I was late to what I learned is a local favorite and nothing missed.i can’t wait to go back.

Okay so Millionaire Burrito - bomb. The secret is in the steak. Cooked Medium. Also the portioning is perfect. Also toasted? Was it toasted? Idk but wow.

The Mango Juice - to me more like a high quality mango smoothie with no ice. It literally tastes like they picked the mango at the perfect ripeness and they juiced it theirselves

The Churro - admittedly I normally hate the cream inside of a churro, but today I stepped out of my comfort zone and now I’m convinced that homemade churros are the only churros that exist.

Listen, I’m so happy that this is a few blocks away, and that I can try more things. Best Mexican food on this side of town.

They serve fresh tamales but yet to try it. We liked the quesadilla and the choco flan, they're very friendly too.

About 20 years ago, I didn't have such a good experience with tamales. Now I wanted to try it again and so I ordered tamales in banana leaf (jalapenos/cheese) and corn leaf (chicken/green salsa).
Both completely convinced me and turned my bad memories into positive ones - very tasty and rich food, excellent service, friendly and charming. I will definitely order tamales again. Thanks for the great experience!

Great service and amazing food. 2nd time I’ve been here and they did not disappoint. First time had the asada nachos and taquitos. This time shared the menudo, carne asada breakfast burrito and a chicken mole tamale. Menudo was savory and slightly spicy. Carne asada breakfast burrito came covered in green salsa but the simplicity and quality is what made the burrito taste great! The chicken mole tamale was savory, sweet and nutty. Good chicken to masa ratio. Definitely worth a visit. Look forward to trying the other menu items.

A must for authentic Mexican food! We come here for breakfast and I’m sure the rest of the food is just as good. We love the chilaquiles, mole tamales and cafe de ollla.

On the first day of my trip, I had my very first Mexican meal here.
The owner at the counter was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Despite my hesitation and unfamiliarity with the menu, they patiently waited and explained everything to me.
The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. I really appreciated how they paid close attention to my specific taste preferences.
It exceeded my expectations, and I would love to come back and try other dishes if I have the chance.
