“Muy familiar y comisa muy casera sin perder lo sano .. la atención como de familia , y un ambiente para conversar reír y disfrutar”
“Very nice experience. Clean restaurant, fast service, and good food. A side of beans is vegan but the rice is not vegan. All of the tacos were good with the favorite being the pastor. Guacamole was incredible. Nice, simple, and clean food. Would love if there was some more sides, but this is a great spot. Reminds me of simple vegan food from back in the day. We have come a few times and will continue to return. Great vegan options!”
