I had the huevos and chicharron for breakfast. They were spicy and full of flavor. The combination in the fresh handmade corn tortillas was delicious. I requested fresh onions, and it was perfect. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and laid back. This spot is definitely going to be added to the breakfast rotation!

The food is ok, I've never been served old food, it's always fresh and quality ingredients but the preparation is lacking. The price was too high IMO. Paid $50, ($60 with tip) for two people. 2 Tacos, 2 lemonades, 2 specials of the day and 1 coffee. The coffee was mostly water. The flour tortillas were meh, they got stiff as soon as they got cold and I didn't like the texture of them, flour tortillas should be stretchy and chewy. The corn tortillas were handmade...

This beautiful local Hispanic restaurant invites you in with authentic cuisine full of bold flavors and spices. I tried the chicken, beef, and pastor tacos, each bursting with delicious taste.
