I’m so glad I decided to try their torta — all I can say is WOW! One of the best I’ve ever had. Everything tasted clean, fresh, and perfectly made. The service was top-notch and made the experience even better. I can’t wait to come back.

If you're looking for real heat, this is the place.. Most importantly, it was actually spicy not just 'tourist spicy,' but a real kick that lingers. It's a great spot for a quick, fresh, and fiery meal. Definitely worth a visit if you want authentic Mexican flavors on the go..

The food tastes good. I was excited to have a real tlayuda but the portions of the meat, the avocado and tomato in it vs the price I think it’s not proportional. A bit disappointed there.
