Good portions, authentic taste. Jibarito was tasty. And chilaquiles with chorizo and egg also very good. Lots of juice options. We will be back for sure.

I can't say enough about this place. The food is excellent, especially their pork. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, staff are attentive and the surroundings are clean. Entrees are large enough to share, sandwiches are delicious, breakfast is spot on and coffee is great. They have withstood the test of time and those who frequent this establishment know why. I highly recommend it!

I’ve been coming here for years and honestly, it never misses. The food is straight-up amazing, the café con leche hits every time, and the prices are just right. Definitely one of those hidden gems you’re glad you found.

This is clearly the community spot! So many people in to pickup food or eat there. Yummy sandwiches that can be customized with the cheese, toppings, and proteins. The egg and cheese sandwich really hit the spot! The staff were very nice and brought the food out to my table. Fair prices too! Great to warm up on a snow day.

Ordered within the first hour of operation and they messed up a simple egg and ham cheese sandwich. My ordered was missing egg and I did tell them over the phone twice to not add mayo. Too early and not even busy to be making mistakes like that.
