I literally go here like 5x a week. Menudo and the chicken tinga tacos are my favorite, even though the entire menu is really great. For my navy/military brothers around the way, this is definitely a place to check out!

The fried quesadillas are good and the red tamales too. Service tends to be a little bit on the slower side.

The fact that you can get tamales from a restaurant and they are wonderful is just mind blowing. I love this place.

The reviews made me doubt about whether to try the food or not, but honestly it was worth it. I had ordered flautas with chicken, tamales both red and green, they were clearly the BEST I've ever tried. The food I tried tasted like the ones I grew up with, the waiting and money was worth all the food & it was in fact the cheapest ever. ❤️ (I honestly don't get why they are saying that the tamales are dry and not at temperature at all when I literary burned myself ??)
Kid-friendliness: The waitress was patient whenever the kids where doubing about what to order, he gave the food recommendations, the portions that were served were PERFECT for kids.

Called and they failed to answer.
Best experience for REAL mexican food., not too spicy like for kids (they give you extra salsa) best tamales ever in USA.
We arrived for lunch and we were eating for almost 2 hours each dish, the best spongy and meat-filled tamales we have ever eaten, my 5 and 8 year old children loved the gorditas or tlacoyos that were huge and SUPER CHEAP!!! We love the place, the treatment and the stories of the owners, I will return tomorrow and while I am on vacation, which I paid very cheaply as well. Real flavors style State of Mexico, Morelos, D.F, Puebla and Guerrero.
Kid-friendliness: The tamales are not so spicy, healthy food, real dough, fresh waters not so sweet

Green tamales smack
Today I bought horrible tamales, they were super stiff, oh hard, the dough had no flavor. I bought it several times and they were good, but today they were super bad. I don't recommend this place because every day they ban them no matter how they fall.
