“Exquisite chilaquiles! Friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended! 🇲🇽❤️”
“This is a fantastic spot for comforting, homemade-style food. The chilaquiles are a must try, full of flavor and easily one of the best items on the menu. Every dish feels like a home-cooked meal, with the kind of warmth and authenticity that reminds you of eating at your mom's house. The portions are generous, making it an excellent value for the quality of the food. The restaurant can get very busy on weekends, but it's well worth the wait. The staff work hard to keep everything running smoothly and do their best to provide great service despite the crowds. Overall, it's a wonderful place for a satisfying meal, and I highly recommend it.”
“A hidden gem. Highly recommend the chilaquiles and oatmeal shake.”
“We went here to celebrate my birthday and Valentine’s Day. My boyfriend had never had green chilaquiles before and he absolutely fell in love. The juices were so refreshing and fresh too! We cannot wait to come back.”
“stopped here as a quick breakfast near my air bnb and fell in love! amazing food, amazing service. very cozy and great prices. Will definitely revisit on future trips”
“Great local breakfast and lunch spot! I’ve tried both menus and everything was delicious. The chilaquiles were fantastic, and the patty melt was equally impressive. The oatmeal shake is freaking addictive. The atmosphere is welcoming and very clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. A must-try spot.”
“I am obsessed with their juices especially vampire juice. I also had chilaquiles with steak and it was delicious!”
“Came here for breakfast and ordered the Chilaquiles. The portion was generous, with perfectly crunchy tortillas covered in warm, flavorful salsa. The side of potatoes was crispy and seasoned just right. Overall, a very satisfying meal!”
“Delicious meal, generous portions, and reasonable prices in a no-frills storefront. The staff was busy but wait times were never unreasonable. Repeat complementary coffee refills and generous juice portions. The chilaquiles were amazing and I appreciate having the option on how you'd like your eggs prepared. I recommend getting them with the steak ($18 and worth it), but our table also loved them with chorizo. Would absolutely recommend this place to others and will be back myself. There was a line of people waiting for tables the whole time we were there so the people know!”
“This place is incredible. Everything is fresh. Juices are amazing. They make their own chicken-fried steak. Their hash is fantastic. Sandra, and Teresa, the owner, are both wonderful. You can't go wrong. The steak and eggs is wonderful. Support local restaurants.”
“Our food was great, we were served water & coffee & was never checked on again until we asked for our food which took more than 30 mins to come out. Never was asked if needed more coffee or anything. But after food was served then was checked on but was a little annoyed by then. Love the outside seating offered, was a beautiful afternoon to sit outside”
“Was very excited to try this place due to the great reviews. Pros: HUGE portions, very filling. Beautiful decor. The staff were very welcoming . Cons: it’s pricey, paid $55 for 2 people. My biggest complaint is no BEANS. How are you a Mexican restaurant that doesn’t have any beans?? 🤯”
