I also don't appreciate the poor attitude that two of the bartenders have been displaying lately. They have favorites and it shows a lot. I understand that when it's time to close it's time to close and go. But if you're serving other people and treating those same people nicer because they're your favorites, well that's not cool. In the end we're all patrons. We all support when consuming. But above all, it's the poor attitude that I will never pay for. I used to like coming here often. I probably will never again. I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.

I got the breakfast burrito, and it was really good with the sauce. I liked the bacon in it, and it was huge. But without the sauce, it tasted pretty plain, just like a regular burrito with eggs. Of course, I ordered the chilaquiles, but I was disappointed. I specifically wanted dry chilaquiles, and that's what | ordered. I know the sauce usually makes the tortilla chips soft, but these were really wet and soggy. It honestly felt like it had been sitting out for a while because the food wasn't hot. The flavor was good, but I'm not a fan of soft or too soggy chips. Also, they thought our order was for dine-in, so they gave us chips. When we told them it was to-go, they took the chips back. I was hoping they would still give us chip takeout, but they didn't, which was really disappointing. Cmon you already put it on our table and we told them it's to go they took it right away.

We got complimentary totopos (chips), pico de gallo, red salsa and refried beans to start. Wow! The refried beans were sooooo good! So flavorful! The chips were delicious too. You can tell they're homemade. The cashier was nice when taking our order. The menudo had good flavor but we didn't care for the hominy since we're not use to eating it with menudo, only with pozole. The meat was cut in tiny pieces. We also had the chilaquilicious chilaquiles which consisted of the chilaquiles with carne asada, bacon and eggs. 1/2 salsa roja and 1/2 salsa verde. The portion was good, however the green salsa can use more flavor. It seemed plain. The red one was better for my taste, it had a Smokey chipotle flavor. Not hot at all. The carne asada could use more salt or seasoning too, seemed a little plain. We tried their salsa macha (chili oil) omg soooo goood and the perfect amount of spiciness. We took home what we didn't finish. I hate wasting something so delicious. Overall a solid 4.

There are two Fridays left if you want to partake in the seasonal dishes offered during this time, please bookmark this restaurant. We ordered the two Specials of the Day (Fri., 3/28/25): 1. Tortitas de Camaron con Mole with Nopales and Roasted potatoes (ground breaded Shrimp into small Patties with cactus) $15, served with thick handmade corn tortillas. 2. Capirotada (bread pudding with peanuts & raisins in syrup) $10. We also had Enchiladas in Poblano Mole. Each entree included a cup of Fideo soup, a side of rice and beans. I could not resist the Cafe de Olla (Mexican coffee brewed with a cinnamon stick), this was served with two cookies in a ceramic mug. This is how you would be served in someone's home. I was stunned when they brought it to me. The food was authentic, delicious, good portions. You will love how the food is plated and presented in ceramic dishes (pottery). We didn't finish and brought the rest home for dinner. I literally was transported back to my childhood, when my grandmother would cook these two same dishes during Lent. The hospitality, decor and service makes you feel like you're home. The food restrictions is part if a religious tradition, but anyone can eat these foods.

Food has been excellent! My daughter kept saying delicioso (Can you say delicioso? *Dora the explorer*) haha. We've made multiple trips since our first time. Carne en su juego had a great tasting salsa. Sopes had a nice crunchiness to them. Chile relleno was very good and juicy. The enchiladas were all very good. One of the things I've enjoyed are tbe hand made tortillas, it's hard to find now a days. They have aguas frescas and it's actually fresh so they may only have one or two each day. Cafe de Olla was good, sweet but I like it (sweet tooth in me) and comes with a cookie. The baño aka restroom also has a changing table (yes no changing the baby on my lap!).

This is a five star review based on my visit and dine in experience today (03/08/17) based on two factors: (1) They do have a variety of menu items and options for food and drinks and they also have horchata shakes(which for me was interesting, new, and creative) which I never seen or heard of before until today. They also have fruit and natural and healthy juices and drinks here as an option which you can kill two birds with one stone where you eat and juice at the same time. I also like the fact that they have soup options as well. They also have a variety of meat options, I personally like el pastor and carne Asada. (2) The King Burrito(Carne Asada) and the $1 tacos they have were so cute and good. The king burrito feeds two people and the size and portion is on point as advertised. It's a huge one. I really like the variety of food and drink options here and they do have specials and deals and they have taco Tuesday and taco Wednesdays here in additoon to their happy hour options here. Great place and dine in experience. read more

I was there Wednesday at around 9:30 pm May 27 and this place looks very successful! They had a huge drive through line all the way to the liquor store I went inside a young pretty lady greeted me with a smile and felt so comfortable! I felt at home .wow . She was working with another young man they took out thoese orders so nicely offered salsa /chips/ extra utilities. I ordered a large jugo verde with a wet burrito and tacos, the young lady made me the jugo along with 3 large orange juice. Amazing fresh quality! Wow better than Herbalife!!! I will definitely be back ! This restaurant is underrated. Amazing staff (at least the night shift) amazing food I thank the cook myself through the screen glass ofcourse .

I went to this place on a recommendation. I ordered anyway two plates a #1 and #25 on recommendation. I ordered them in chicken. When I got them they were beef. I asked for more salsa I was told no. It took 18 minutes to get my order. The plates were not that hot. The chili rellenos are not home made and very greasy. The restaurant is very hot in side, no air conditioning, dusty, dirty and the people working there don't seem to speak very good English. The service in general is not good. I was very disappointed especially since it was highly recommended. read more

They're not your typical taquitos..the shell is much thinner, almost like an egg roll wrapper, which gave them a different texture that I actually liked. My only thought was the value. The two taquitos were almost $10, and for that price I think adding a third taquito would make the portion feel a little more in line with the rest of the menu. The 3-taco combo was around the same price and included rice, beans, and a drink, so it just felt like the better value.
