Love this place. The owners and workers provide great customer service and are very welcoming.

I've come here for business lunches and for takeout. Every time, the food is great.

For lunch, all the salsas and options are fresh and tasty. I also have had the chorizo breakfast burrito and it may be the best in town..

I am happy to give this restaurant my business every time.

Ordered a Chavela, green chilaquiles and the menudo. To start off the chips and salsa were fresh and homemade. The chilaquiles were crisp with enough cheese and the sauce was really good! The menudo was delicious and perfect for a cloudy day. Will definitely come back especially since it is so close to my house. Hidden gem!

This is the second time I have ordered the chicken enchiladas because they are so delicious. The rice and beans are delicious too. But the enchiladas are the right spiciness, full of flavor, and the chicken is moist. The staff are friendly, nice and courteous. It's a great little place with a big flavor!
