Got the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. The coffee is good too, and everything was very affordable. The owners are also really nice and it made my day. Will be coming back

Food was good until I got to my dry, mutated tamale. paired with the far less than friendly service from the cashier, i wont be back.

Food was okay. Could’ve been better. I ordered the taco dinner and the meat had enough seasoning. However, the portions were quite small. The tacos were small comparing it to an iPhone pro max. Furthermore, I ordered fried calamari and the smell was horrendous and it did not appear to be calamari.

Ordered chilaquilles and first time at this restaurant. There's aprox 1 cup of grease, so watery and barely tortilla chips. So dissapointed.

Sometimes you get this feeling, an itch, a dark hunger. Well feed it with the Super Duper Burrito! An approximately 16 inch long, 3 inch diameter burrito that will eliminate any cravings for like a day and a half. Priced at approximately $1/inch, this is more than fair.

Enchiladas were so yummy! Loved all of their hot sauces, perfect balance of flavor and heat. Really great value for the price. I'm addicted to their guacamole! Would certainly return for another meal.
