I ordered the street taco plate, and it was absolutely delicious! The tacos were full of flavor and paired perfectly with a traditional Mexican soda, fresh chips, and salsa.The service was fast and the restaurant has a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. If you’re looking for authentic flavors and great service, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The taco green salsa made this a 10/10 I will definitely be back! Si buscas comida auténtica, llena de sabor y un excelente servicio, definitivamente te recomiendo este lugar. Gracias!

Don't let this quaint little restaurant fool you, they are packing big flavors in their traditional Mexican cuisine. I brought my husband for his birthday who loves Mexican food, which I am not a fan, or I wasnt till we ate here. The menudo soup was clean and delicious a new tradition for me and my husband to share The molcajete was done so perfectly I was like a child at Christmas. The sweet lady who catered to us ( just enough) made it feel like I was visiting my own Tia's (aunt)house. Relaxed atmosphere does exactly what was intended to do, have you sit and eat comfortably and easily. The price was not at all what I was expecting for the quality and dedication of the food they serve ($22 for my dinner $16 for my husband) . The dessert was made locally and my husband has ranked the tres leches cake one of his new faves..God bless and can't wait to go back.

Had breakfast here for the first time on Sunday. The Chilaquiles is better there were really delicious and the steak was very soft. Would definitely come back to try the dinner.

If you’re even thinking about eating here—go. This is one of those rare, family-owned places where everything is made fresh and you can taste the difference immediately. The food is rich, comforting, and full of flavor—nothing rushed, nothing generic, just genuinely excellent cooking. The service is just as memorable: warm, attentive, and welcoming, like you’ve stepped into a place that truly cares about its customers. Every dish we had was outstanding, and the portions were generous without sacrificing quality. This is the kind of restaurant you want to support and tell your friends about. A true local gem. Highly recommend—and we’ll absolutely be back.
