The lunch specials, Pizope, ranchero taco, and chille relleno are highly recommended. The staff is friendly and hardworking, often working quickly despite the busy environment. Prices are reasonable, and the focus remains on providing authentic food that keeps customers coming back. Though it may not be fancy and has been described as a hole-in-the-wall, the quality and genuine atmosphere make it a favorite in town. Some customers noted that the cleanliness could be improved, but they still enjoyed their meals, highlighting the flavorful rice and beans.
