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!
