“Wonderfully inviting and quiet atmosphere; great, personalized service; good food all around. We enjoyed mole enchiladas with spinach, and rellenos with zucchini and onions. Prices reasonable - $20 - $32/person. Found this while driving on North Ave on a Sunday night. Highly recommended; we will return!”
“Deliciosos Chiles en nogada con delicious side dishes 🤩”
“The place is excellent! Service is friendly, professional, and just superb! Ambiance feels simple yet enticing full of colors indoors and outdoors feels clean and fresh. Food flavors and visuals are five stars. My Quesadilla was excellent, mostly because of that flour tortilla. My Chile En Nogada, the reason for my visit was delicious, flawless. From the sauce to the pomegranate and the filling, everything was tasteful. Loved my experience there.”
“Amazing dinner I had Chile en Nogada for the first time and you can taste the love that Irma put into this dish. We will be back.”
“amazing gem 💎 great tasting soup and drinks. highly recommended”
“Good food with nice décor, can eat inside and can also order ahead to pick up, good service and fast. For take out, the Tortilla soup came with the tortillas inside the soup so when I got home they were soggy, other places give you the tortillas on the side for that reason so I didn't eat that. No napkins or utensils given for take out as well. As for eating in, the service was good, the enchiladas were also good either the green, red and the mole. Paid parking in front of the restaurant, they do have a covered patio in the back. In the restaurant they do have nice paintings that decorate it well. they do not accept credit cards, they do accept other forms such as cash.”
“Very intimate place. The chicken enchilada was pretty good. The potatoes enchiladas were not the highlight. The chopped up potatoes were a bit hard. The rice was bit hard. However, the service was amazing the music just went along really well with the scene. I wouldn't go back but its a cute little time.”
“Highly recommend. Quiet and unassuming but very delicious. Personalized service. Enchiladas very good and chile en nogada was amazing.”
“What a hidden gem! Beautiful decor, amazing food & service. My husband and I had the guacamole and shrimp, steak, and chicken tacos. We have a new neighborhood favorite- highly recommend!!”
“The mole enchiladas and chile relleno ancho were delicious! Plenty of vegetarian options if that’s what you’re looking for. Staff was friendly. They also have an amazing back patio with beautiful plants. It’s screened in, so it was possible to enjoy a delicious dinner and summer evening without bugs.”
“We had great dinner. The Chiles en Nogadas are the best we’ve had in the city. The mole and the Chile pablano were delicious. Highly recommend. No wait, nice patio.”
“I feel like nobody knows about this place, but it has awesome food. My family visited again this past Saturday night. It was quiet there but the food was wonderful, the service was attentive and very friendly, and the space is really cool, with beautiful art all over the walls. The food is really where it’s at, just absolutely delicious, with high-quality ingredients. It has to have some of the best traditional Mexican food in the city. We loved the nopalitos, the zucchini, the enchiladas verdes, and the asada taco. Good prices too. I hope more people discover this place because it deserves more love and attention.”
