“It was one of my favorite restaurant for caldo de res. But, now it is the worst place for caldo de res. La carne de res sabe horrible ni se diga el resto del caldo. Tiene un horrible sabor. Lo peor que aqui sabia pedir mis caldos para mi lunch en el trabajo. Hoy me quede sin comer gracias a ese horrible caldo. Quisiera que lo vuelvan a hacer como lo hacian antes!”
“The consomé is one of my favorite dishes in the city. Just fantastic!”

“The tortillas are homemade, the salsa is flavorful, and the portions are generous. The Al Pastor Quesadillas were especially amazing—perfectly seasoned, with tender meat and just the right amount of melty cheese. One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area!”
