Been going here since it opened and today was the only bad service day we had. The B crew young people were preparing and serving not the usual owner, so my husband never got his menudo breakfast. I believe the waitress gave it to another customer who arrived after us, but gave me my dish, then came back to say it's coming, it never came. I finished and nothing came so we told her to forget it, we are leaving. The thing that got me, was there was no apology for the mistake, no discount offered and then says Have a nice day". I recommend to Sandra the owner to evaluate their performance on Sundays.

I had the menudo. It was ok but it had hairs in it!! YES HAIRS more than ONE. I went back for a refund and it was a big deal to the workers. They stated the pata (pig feet) has hair so it's normal for menudo to have hair. I stated I'd never ate menudo with pork feet that had hair. After some attitude I got a refund I Won't visit again!!

The food is delicious, but be aware! The veggie burrito is absolutely full of mushrooms. I didn't expect it, and have a terrible allergy to them. Mushrooms aren't listed on the ingredients, so having eaten 2 bites thinking it was sautéed peppers was very disappointing. Learned an important lesson. Now to find something I can eat there.

I was prepared to love this place more than I actually did, sadly. The menu is a wonderful mix of traditional and interesting choices, the place is cute as can be, the service is spot on, and the portions are generous. My wife had the Three Taco plate (comes with rice and beans) which she enjoyed, but said that the crunchy tacos were a bit tough. I had Pollo en Molé because I am a big fan of that dish. The chicken quarter was cooked perfectly in the molé, but the mole itself was a little lackluster. The flour tortillas they served with it were fresh and obviously made on site! I want to believe that the same can be said for the tortilla chips that came with our orders because they were excellent, too. Both the rice and the beans were pretty bland but the salsas they included perked them up, but they shouldn't have needed to. Still, a great local place that we will probably visit again.

The steak ranchero salsa needs to be made with actual tomatoes and not canned tomato sauce also the salsa was so spicy my sinuses cleared up after my meal. The milanesa meat dish tasted flavorless, most of what we ordered had terrible spicing, I almost wanna say they get their cooking supplies from a food bank and that why it tastes so horrible. The server was so sweet.

It's my first time here.. it's a Small cozy dinner. Exactly what I was looking for. The waitress was very nice. She alone gets 10 stars. The food was cooked to perfection. I had sausage omelet with cheese. Side of vegetables and bacon. I'll be going back here for sure.

Ordered the enchiladas and the rice that was served with it was dry and tasted like it was sitting out for a while. Everything else on the plate was yummy. Service was good as well.
