“ Great little spot for an amazing burrito! ”
“ Been coming here since 2010. Hands down one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants. The restaurant itself is so cute. The servers are always polite and quick. The food has never disappointed and the price is very reasonable. The carne asada sopes and horchata is my go to meal. I don't live close anymore but whenever I'm out in the area I always try to come through. ”
“ I order takeout but people seem to enjoy eating in. Good spot with a large variety of Mexican food I order the "pechuga empanizada platillo" (breaded chicken dinner) comes with rice and beans and a very small and simple salad, i opt the salad out cause it has a dressing that gets on the chicken in the take out box. If you like Mexican food then they are both good sides in taste. Also comes with tortillas. The cost with taxes is like 18 something so lets say 19 dollars. You'll spend more if you get a drink. If you've never tried that dish,I suggest you do. ”
“ First time visiting and tried the chilaquiles con asada. It was so good and the steak was tender and seasoned perfectly. The restaurant is also decorated beautifully and the inside temperature is cozy. I'll definitely be going back for future meals. ”
