Food was great, but the staff were even better. The ladies there couldn’t have been friendlier. I came in from The Valley, had no idea where to eat and chose this based on the reviews and proximity to my destination. I’m so glad I did! Will be going back when I go that way again!

The woman working there was incredibly friendly and even apologetic that they were out of ingredients for the Chile Relleno. Was suggested the spot by someone I did work for in the area, was not dissapointed! The tacos were amazing and affordable! 3 Tacos with some chips for under $10. will come back when in the area!

I had Pozole, which was delicious and not greasy. The amount the serve is perfect. My husband had the Chile Reyeno and was also delicious. The salsa they give for the chips is good, so im guessing that the green chilaquiles are good. If you haven't been you need to.
