Really nice girl at the front counter. Asked her if the tacos came with salsa she said yes green and red. On the menu it says it also comes with radishes limes grilled jalapeno some type of onion and cactus. Walk to my car had to park quarter mile away cuz there's no parking and open up the box and there's no radish, no salsas neither one and no cactus. Anybody like to eat a tamale with no sauce I know I don't. It was okay tasting but very little filling not a lot...

Delicious mole, tacos, pozole -- great menu! The tacos came with a side of grilled nopales, chili and onions. And the flavor of the mole poblano was amazing.
The only less good thing was the Caesar salad, which we probably should have known better than to order, and the cafe de olla tasted kind of watered down with not much coffee taste, but I've never had it before so I'm not sure what it be like.
I would definitely go again so...
