If you want comfort food, this is one of the places. They also make handmade tortillas so that's a plus. The only downside is that the salsa can be old sometimes so you'll have to let them know.

We both had the number 3. Upon arrival, I saw that the portion matched the price: small.Can't complain about it, the seasoning was great and the portion felt "right" in which we didn't feel like we needed to be rolled out, but our appetite sated.I do recommend it, and will update after I try their breakfast options.Another good local spot to support.
