I thought the food was just ok until we got dessert. My friend ordered the tres leches which I usually dislike. It was amazing!! Never had anything like that before. Next time I’ll have a drink, which was good and dessert and skip dinner. The service wasn’t great. But they were packed with a line outside by the time we left.

The chicken in the enchiladas tasted more like pollo de tenga, the chorizo in the chilaqules lacked flavor. The salas not spicy but had a good taste. The atole de calabaza was to die for 😋 . The papas a la plaza were also good. Overall food was good and staff super friendly

Lady did not want us to sit in a 4 people table and it was just two of us so she decided to improvise and sit us close to the bathroom and where people walk to it instead of asking where we wanted to sit
