“Fantastic restaurant - excellent food, customer service, and ambience. Love visiting anytime I am in town. Their carne asada is delicious, but so are their breakfast dishes, enchiladas, chilaquiles, sopes, and drinks too! The handmade tortillas are perfection. Food was so amazing and their warm homemade salsa is so delicious accompanied by their tostadas. Convenient and free parking lot available. Please support this local business - you won't regret it! 🙂”
“Wonderful place to go during any time of the day! I have come here during morning and night. The breakfast menu is quite appetizing, the orange juice is done on the moment so it’s extra fresh. I will say do some of the items can be hit or miss depending on the person so look out for that. The night menu is extremely delicious! I prefer it over the morning one and the best part of coming at night is the ambience a lot of nice Mexican music and the people celebrating with it. Truly a must eat place👀”
“😃 Yo siempre me hecho mi Caldo combinado de Pescado con Pulpo y con las tortillas hechas a Mano...Levanta Muertos!”
“El ambiente muy agradable Y muy ricas sus parrilladas”
“I always love the food here! They have some of the best al pastor tacos here, some of my faves!!”
“El lugar es muy sencillo y un poco pintoresco, tiene muy buen ambiente , excelente servicio y deliciosa comida, en especial recomiendo mi comida favorita del lugar, Pechuga rellena en salsa chipotle. Cómo aperitivo se sirve salsa de molcajete acompañada de chips Se sirven tortillas hechas a mano para el plato fuerte . Sirven variedad de bebidas alcohólicas, en esta ocasión pedí una cervemargarita y la verdad es que estaba deliciosa , se las recomiendo mucho . El lugar es muy relajante y cuenta con Karaoke en vivo . Sin embargo una renovación en el lugar, empezando por el color y una mejor mueblería aumentaría su nivel .”
“The coffee is amazing. The cesina dinner is delicioso. Portion are very generous. The only suggestion is to serve hand cut nopales. "Not from a can it makes the food to salty.”
“They have hand made tortillas. I ordered a quesadilla de cecina which comes with cheese, meat, lettuce and tomatoes. The tortilla was handmade and just the right thickness. Their salsa is served warm which I like because it doesn’t cool down my food like other restaurants that serve their salsa cold. On Tuesday they have margarita specials, I had the mango and it was great! Great food at reasonable prices. Make sure to try it out!”
“Ok Sunday lunch time got there place is pack got a table fast ok order coffee huitlacoche quesadilla plus two tacos alambre,lengua takes like 25 minutes to get my order my coffee is good with a little cinnamon quesadilla flavorless tacos big home made tortillas are very good service clean place two things I didn't like the waiting time for my food in the lady singing so loud there is hard to have conversation with someone”
“My first and last time ever going there. The chips was cold salsa was good , the food was not hot at all it was cold when they brought it to me the taste wasn’t all that something I could of made at home seriously the strawberry margarita was decent but the ladies that served me was nice and friendly.”
