Ordered through door dash today. This restraunt always peeked my interest. I finally decided to try it today and wow it was wonderful. I tried the chicken empanadas and birria tacos. Both were fantastic. I will definitely order again.

Absolutely incredible. We ordered moñongos because we were eating on the road, almost turned around 20 minutes later and headed back to get more. The dude promised the salsa packed a punch, and that salsa DELIVERED. I could put the guasacasa on literally anything. Wish I could leave ten stars.

Update: I live over an hour away, and I think about excuses to come get a moñongo every day. It's like the best new thing I've found out about in a long, long...
