I Came Wednesday around 2pm and the cashier was great! Didn’t get her name sweet lady very polite and patient with my order! Give the cheap props too because they have the best tripa tacos in the city so far🙏

I had the torta meal and really enjoyed it. The torta was toasted just right, it crispy on the outside and full of flavor. It came with rice and beans on the side, and both were super tasty. The food overall felt really authentic, and they have an awesome selection of salsas to choose from. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a place I’d go back to.

The food was AMAZING. My husband and I went for a wedding and decided to go here for breakfast. I ordered chilaquiles rojos and they were the best I have ever had in my life. Absolutely loved their food!!
