First time here, place is pretty clean so that was really the only impressive thing from my visit. Were asked what we wanted to drink, several of us said specifically cafe de olla, some of us said regular coffee only. Didn’t realize we had to specify even further when the waitress brought us all the more expensive option, which was the cafe de olla. We did not say anything, which honestly was on us because we did not want to cause a commotion and just accepted the expensive coffee. Waitress also failed to tell us the coffee comes prepared with milk and sugar to the kitchen’s taste. Most of us do not drink coffee with sugar, but again, we chose not to make a big deal out of it. When we ordered our food, one of us specified we wanted refried beans instead of charro beans. When the order comes out, the beans are of course wrong. Portions are really small, and the yellow rice in the enchilada plate had no flavor. Food is slightly cold when it arrived to our table. They only give you two tortillas per plate. Food was edible, but did not meet my expectations for the price range. Overall super expensive for what we were given. Since our party was over 6 people, the gratuity was automatically added to the bill. I thought this was funny considering our waitress only came 3 times to the table: once for our drinks, once for the food, and once to ask us if we wanted more food. She did also remind us if we wanted to leave more tip money when we paid up at the front, we could. There were only 2 more tables by the way with sitting customers in the restaurant. Gave it a try, and will not be coming back.

Excellent service! We stopped by on a rainy Saturday night we were a group of 8 and 1 child. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated. Ordered the tamale combo which included 2 🫔🫔had the rajas con queso was very good and pork which I rate a 7. The champurado was very delicious and served in a huge mug. 😃The nachos were 💯plenty for 4 to share and very tasty, only recommendation I would give is to add homemade guacamole, it will make a huge difference.

I'm going to come back for their pozole which is delicious but the torta I had today is a no bueno for me. I waa hungry so I ate half the half I ate I took out the meat. To me that is not fajita that is arrachera some people may considered it fajita but not me.

I went in to try some of the tamales, I had one green pork tamale, a red pork tamale and a tamale with jalapenos ,the masa was so moist on all, they were tasty, but mostly masa, not very much meat at all for $25.75, (yikes) a dozen.

Very good food and the service was great. We had the pambazo and a gringa and the horchata was delicious— not too sweet. Their daily specials are also a great value!

Service was really good. The young lady helped out greatly and very friendly. When I called the gentleman that answered was also very friendly. Ordered Small red pork tamales, red chicken tamales, big green pork tamales made with banana leaf
And a dulce tamale...
They were all very tasty
Didn't have chance to even take pictures because we sat down and devoured them.

They no longer make tamales like they used to, now they no longer have any flavor

Waitress was not great she took our order and never came back to the table to check on us. Portions are small. My drink was flat, the flour tortillas tasted off, they prepare your coffee and bring it to you,by this is mean they decide on how much sugar and milk goes in it. We ordered ranchero style eggs which came with a dollop of beans on a corn tortilla shell that was not ediable by the way, with potatoes. The potatoes had good flavor and were cook properly. We had pancakes as well and they apparently didn't meet my 2 year old standard as she stated she didn't like it. There bistec tasted ok and there chilaquiles needed more sauce and toppings, felt like it was a light drizzle on corn chips. I have never left a restaurant after eating still hungry.

I went with my husband to buy tamales and not why they sell that crap, it's better not to worry about it, just spend the money, this is garbage, let's see if my chickens like them.
