Came here for the first time recently with my boyfriend for lunch. The decor was colorful and cute! Our server was SO sweet, polite and kind. We both got chorizo enchiladas with “green sauce”. They were super tasty. The restaurant really started filling up as we finished our lunch. There was only one server working and he handled things as quickly and efficiently as he could. He still kept a smile on his face! We look forward to coming back.

Such a charming little neighborhood place at end of a residential block. Very fast service. Great chile relleno and guacamole. Tomato sauce is really good-sort of an Italian flavor.
July 2024
Great food, cute interior. Will definitely return for more.

Chips & salsa: Not sure if they make them in house but the chips felt fresh, and had just the right thickness. Not too thin, not too thick/hard to hurt your mouth ceiling. Crumbles away just right with salsa, would be trying their guacamole next time.

Tortuga wings: Great! Avocado & chopped lettuce mix soothes the spice. I'd say slightly over the average american spice...
