The staff here is just the best. They were so welcoming and warm and seemed to really care about our experience. Will definitely be back for some tortas, tacos, and sopes. Their pico de gallo was freshly made and go I seriously considered drinking the juice at the bottom when we finished.

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner let's eat people! I like it convenient, super kul people, I enjoy a gud meal at el' Chile, and entertainment can't get any better than that folks

The owner (a super nice women) was working there all by herself the day we went. As a result the service was a little slow (understandably), but it wasn't a big deal because the food was awesome! The menu is huge and the portion sizes are pretty big. I'd definitely recommend this place if you want to avoid all the hoity-toity crowds and wait times.
