This is a restaurant that will most definitely be a repeat customer to! Authentic Mexican style cooking, a reasonably broad menu that was affordable with large portion sizes.The dining area is somewhat small, there's a lot going on in a small area and it feels crowded and busy. This is easily overlooked by the outstanding quality of the food!

I'm not usually a breakfast person, but today I woke up early and wanted something different. I went to this little Mexican place, La Virgen de las Nieves, at the corner of 8th and Mifflin, and was greeted by some very friendly people. I got the Steak Breakfast, look at this picture, it's so much food! I had no idea there would be so much. I was full all day from this, it was very good, I really enjoyed it. Thank you very much La Virgen de las Nieves! I will definitely...
