We ordered take out, but the restaurant was kept very clean and the inside was so cozy and colorful. All of the staff were super nice and they were quick on their feet.

This place is a legit mexican restaurant. The food, the vibes, and service was great! I had the 4 sopes with chicken, and i was able to have two different meats (chicken and steak). Since i asked how sweet was the café de olla, the lady that took our order gave me a bit in a small cup to taste it. I thought it was enough sweet for me :).
These kind of gestures just shows that the place can accommodate to your needs and they do their best to serve you well.

This is a true gem. The food is superb and the prices are very reasonable. This is a small location and the place is usually packed. The one drawback is that although the menu is in Englis, the staff is primarily Spanish speaking so you may need to use google translate.
