“Best pozole I ever ate with tender pork and flavorful hominy. Chicken tinga whether in a sope, taco or pamboza is also superb.“

“Love the tacos de lengua. For my non spanish speaking people. The tongue tacos. Compared to other places they are on point. They use the big 5 inch corn tortilla. And they slice the tongue instead of cutting it into little squares. For those of you that know it's better that way. The only reason I don't give 5 stars on the food is because they don't have a really hot or spicy salsa. Other then that it's a great place to go.“

“The food is very delicious, it took them a long time to bring us the food, like more than 45 minutes, that's the only bad thing about this place. But in general I would recommend it.

Parking: It takes a little work to find a place“
