    Pozole rojo

    The pozole rojo was delicious and the service was great! Definitely be back soon to have it again!

    Waffle plate with scrambled eggs and sausage patties
    Andrea G.

    We are visiting from California and we're obviously not locals. Our waitress picked up on this quickly and could not have been nicer. She gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu and offered to answer any questions we might have. I decided on a dish called huevos divorciados. I got it because I've never had it before and it looked vegetarian. It was delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly and it had two sauces, a red and a green. They were completely different in taste but both were fantastic. The heat level was just enough to give a mild burn but not overpower the flavor. It came with refried beans, potatoes, and tortillas. They were all good. One of my sons got an egg and ham scramble. I stole a bite, and it was delicious. Eggs were scrambled just the way I like them, which is cooked just enough not to be runny. My other son got a waffle plate. It was huge and he was absolutely thrilled with his breakfast. My husband got enchiladas mexicanas. He loved it. Another person in our group ordered tacos matamoros. They loved their food too. The restaurant is clean, the chips and salsa station was well stocked, everything was tasty, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

    Fajita enchiladas
    Jason G.

    I love small non-chain restaurants because they tend to have genuine personal service and are interested that the food is good. YaYa's was exactly that. Many of the patrons seemed local and known by the staff. The server noticed that we were not familiar and did a great job of giving us time to peruse the menu and answering questions. I personally had the fajita enchiladas which were great. The portion sizes were hearty, so I also sampled everyone else's food in my party as well. I gotta give some props to the tacos Matamoros. Excellent.

    Have visited before , but not for breakfast. I was very nicely surprised. A little pricey though, we will return.

    "Chilaquiles divorciados "
    sarah p.

    This food was absolutely amazing. I talked about how good it was hours and hours after the meal. Inside was nice with a bunch of old school picture frames. Felt homey but they should somehow open space up or switch table placements, could feel a bit crowded. Waiters seem kind of understaffed and rushed. But great hospitality and the food came out pretty quickly. 10/10

    Botana for 2: beef fajita
    Holly V.

    Ordered the fajita beef botanas for 2 & it was amazing! Of course we couldn't finish, but the service was great. Food came out quickly & we almost had to be rolled out of there from being so full! Great little place to eat. I'll definitely visit again.

    Tacos are good. Service is ok. No one is ever really checking on you. Too many customers at times for the amount of waitresses.

    I have been wanting to go to La Casa de la Abuela (Grandma's House) for a long time. Friends of…read moremine have raved about how good the food is. Well, they were right. La Casa de la Abuela covers every category for a delightful breakfast, brunch or lunch: a menu with great variety, quality delicious food, excellent service, a beautiful and pleasant atmosphere, good parking and a great location. My friend had the enchiladas suizas. I ordered the chilaquiles rojas con pollo. The menu warned that the salsa roja is spicy... and they are right. I like spicy, and this gave me the hiccups! Not to worry, they have several options, including mild ones. I was impressed with their molcajete of guacamole, the refreshing strawberry lemonade, the classy presentation of each dish. I almost ordered the chile relleno or the torta ahogada. I learned they make their own birote (a denser kind of bread roll) for the torta ahogadas, which is key for that dish hailing from Jalisco, which is smothered in salsa prior to serving. Everything I saw was spotless, elegant, and beautifully decorated. It's a new fave, and I will go back. When I do, I want to try one of their pastries: conchas, chocolate or strawberries and cream filled croissants, and more. This was a great place for a meet-up with a good friend. It would also be great for a date with my wife, a business lunch, or small groups. The dining room is not very big, so large groups would need to find another option. I highly recommend, Grandma's House!

I'm a huge migas fan and never thought to try chilaquiles. This place did not disappoint. I added eggs, chorizo and avocado with half green and half red sauce. I was surprised to get each adding in an individual stack. I managed to get my egg yolk over the avocado and chorizo. The food was really good, just not what I expected. The flautas de papa were a great buy. Instead of using a corn or flour tortilla to mop up my plate, I was able to use the flauta and with the papa in it, they were like little sponges soaking up all the leftovers

My favorite is the Tacos Llorarás (you will cry taco) which features a handmade corn tortillas stuffed with a chile relleno made of jalapeño and cream cheese, plus a flavorful beef birria.
