Legit salsa & food if you're originally from North Mexico like me & used to that style. Their weekend brunch carne asada steak & eggs (it's Gluten Free! Which matters for me) w/ sweet potato hash & fresh corn tortillas was excellent, their green salsa is packed w/ flavor and some spice but not overwhelming at all...great neighborhood spot but def worth a trip if you're in the area.

Out of town guests visiting my cousin, stopped by late for dinner. Zoe, the bartender, was very hospitable and the food was delicious. And she surprised me with a birthday dessert! And we appreciated that the music wasn’t too loud bc we are old.

Awesome place. Colourful and welcoming Food was great, service was lovely, and even our 4 year olds were happy! They are really thoughtful about anyone coming with kids — there’s a big basin by the entrance offering small fiddly toys for the kids to grab as you come in, and they provided kids menus with crayons for further entertainment.
