I decided to give this place a try for breakfast and got the chilaquiles verdes and a breakfast burrito. The chilaquiles were alright.. I don’t know if it was just not a good taste of the salsa or what made it taste weird. The tortillas didn’t taste fresh either. Maybe stale or old? I don’t know the dish had a weird taste I forced myself to eat it but I couldn’t finish it. The chilaquiles needed more salsa and when I opened the green salsa container, the salsa was like jelly.. that grossed me out. We also got a breakfast “burrito”. Once I got the order, it was a small standard size flour tortilla wrapped like a burrito. The portion of the chorizo y papa was small of course to fit in the tortilla. That was not a burrito, more like a breakfast taco. In total I paid $14.53 for the two items but I don’t know how much each item was priced at. I don’t know if it was their breakfast that wasn’t good, since the reviews are not bad.

Little hole in the wall type place. I had the Carnitas Torta almost a 5⭐ except the carnitas were over fried. My grandkids loved their Ceviche Tostada's and their shrimp ? cocktail. Will come again. The interior could use a make over to make it more inviting and possibly draw more customers looks sad and gloomy inside. Place is large enough to accommodate 6-8 to a table.

First of all, I was born and raised in Mexico. So this place looks exactly as the majority of restaurants in every single town in Mexico. It’s not dirty, it doesn’t need to be remodeled, the point of this place is to look like that! It’s what you’ll see if you go and eat in any little town in Mexico. Real Mexican food, not that Tex-Mex place y’all used to go. Service and food are great! In food industry is literally impossible to be a 5 stars for everyone. There are people that simply are too picky about food so just give it a try!

The meat that we ordered on our tortas was definitely a cheap version of asada and alpastor I do NOT recommend Can't complain to much about the barbacoa tacos probably the only good thing I had here

to everyone giving this place 1 star, this place is as good as it'll get. The food is amazingly delicious, and sure, the inside doesn't look that good but assuming that people can do better is wrong. the waitresses are very nice and energetic. If for some reason you have to understand they didn't wish for this job as they had bigger dreams instead. Maybe instead of blaming it on the waitresses or cooks for the food you got, blame it on yourself for not checking it first. very childish to come give this place a bad rating and negative review over something you could've easily fixed.
