I work in the area, so I have probably had everything on their menu. The ingredients are always fresh, and the staff is super friendly. My favorite for brunch is the bacon breakfast burrito, and for lunch I often order the flautas, the fiesta chicken salad, or tamales. Their red chili and chile verde is on point and their 'empenadas' are a delicious treat. Sometimes they bring in avacados from their farm for sale, and the guac I made with them never tasted better!

It was a quiet Saturday morning, the food was good, the price was fair, and the ambience was okay. I would definitely eat there again, but it's not as bougie as other places. But then again the price point was better than most places open at that time.

Oh my!!! The best tacos!!
Loved the pineapple spinach drink, layered cheese enchilada, flautas, and tamale. Patio dining, clean, friendly and attentive. Very happy to stumble across.
