Place your order at the counter and have a seat. They will bring it to you.i ordered canitas and steak tacos. Carnitas was excellent. Both tacos were juicy and plenty of meat. Had guac and chips. It was fresh. I will come again to try other things on the menu. This mexican restaurant is more like baja fresh cuisine. Not heavy rice and beans based. Clean atmosphere. Spacious. Free parking in the back of paid parking on street and adjacent parking lot for $5-3hrs. ADA complaint...
I ordered two tacos de cochinita pibil and was delighted at how tasty these were. The meat was flavorful and tender, the pickled onions on top added nice acidity, and there wasn't too much cilantro. I was pleased by how much meat they included in each taco. Both the habanero and arbol salsas were delicious, with a great kick of heat and plenty of complexity in flavor. Seating inside was cozy, comfortable, and clean; this place has a great ambiance! I hope to go back someday...
First time here and we really enjoyed it. We ordered the nopal salad, cochinita pibil, carnitas, and fish taco, and all three were delicious in their own way. We also had the well-known Mexico City–style sandwich (can’t remember the name), which was excellent. We liked the food enough to order dessert to go—the key lime pie and flan—both worth it. We’ll definitely return.
