    The family pack $25.00!!! Carnitas with cueritos!!!
    Charles M.

    The best darn carnitas I've had!!!! They are very friendly!!! The food is fire!!! It's a mom and pop shop that's family owned! This is what I've been missing!!!

    Delicious agua de pina

    The lady taking the orders is so moody and it's like it bothers her your ordering food. The one star is for the food because it is delicious but they need to change the waitress she hates her job and it shows

    Quesadilla de Maiz / Corn Quesadilla with carne asada
    Emily C.

    It's a quaint little place that I've past plenty of times without knowing it was there. No restroom though. We were more of a fan of the asada than the carnitas. Maybe we needed to ask them to cook it more? The lady who took our order was very nice. The homemade tortillas are to die for, we even took a dozen home. We ordered a carne asada quesadilla which was chefs kiss cheese to carne ratio was amazing. The tacos were also delicious. The creamy green salsa is pretty spicy but great flavor. My favorite salsa was definitely the red. We also had the tamarindo and cucumber limon aguas. The cucumber limon is a must try. Will definitely be back.

    Menudo!

    I stumbled upon this place by pure luck and thanks to Yelp. Finding a good menudo is always a side quest. It's always a good sign when a place is busy and people are coming and going with bags of food. Whether you decide to sit and eat or take it home the flavors do travel well. The service is great, they treat you like family. The food speaks for itself and I've gone back multiple times. Enjoy!

    We love this place! The carnitas tacos on homemade tortillas, menudo, posole, caldo de pollo, and chilaquiles verdes are all delicious! Their aguas frescas are nice too.

    We went in for breakfast and food was delicious and priced well. I had the menudo, it's flavorful…read moreand the homemade corn tortillas are delicious. (No homemade flour) They have a great variety of food to pick from. When we went in they did not have someone seating people so you basically wait in line and wait until someone gets up to take the table. I think it can be a little uncomfortable for the people eating, but not really a big deal. Luckily we had two people in front of us sit at a table too big for them and they offered us to sit with them which we did not mind at all. So if you get a big table, offer someone to sit with you. We only waited a few minutes for them to take our order and our food was out soon after that. Only a minus one star because the seating arrangement is a little weird, but their food and service is great. They even had musicians walking around playing - make sure to tip them!

Finally, my husband and I had a chance to dine in on Sunday. We got there around 10:30 am. The parking lot was packed but found parking on the side street. Once inside, we waited less than 5 minutes, someone got up and we sat down. The waitress came over right away to take our order. My husband ordered the costillitas en chile rojo with rice and beans. It was so good. That is one of the popular dishes. I decided to get the Menudo, it was so Delicious, it even had some pasta meat and some hominy. This included homemade corn tortillas. It is so nice to see all the hard working ladies in the kitchen, especially the ones making the tortillas, now that is a special gift to manually make them! We really enjoyed the food, next time I will order the tortillas to go ahead of time, since it takes awhile for them to prepare. Service was Excellent, especially the waitress, she was so attentive!
