“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”
Ladies were talking and not serving my family.
I found a long thick hair inside of my Chiles en Nogada Do I need to say more?.
“Wonderfully inviting and quiet atmosphere; great, personalized service; good food all around.”
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!

“The place is excellent.”
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.

“Fantastic atmosphere.”
Fantastic atmosphere. The food is always fresh and very flavorful. The enchiladas are my go to dish. The steaks and fajitas are great. Bartender makes a killer mango margarita.

“Good food with nice décor, can eat inside and can also order ahead to pick up, good service and fast.”
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.”
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.

“Ordered enchiladas verdes con platanos fritos (and a horchata).”
Ordered enchiladas verdes con platanos fritos (and a horchata). It was all really good - I love plantains, but I was expecting green fried plantains, not ripe fried plantains. I will eat either, but having savory plantains with a savory entree would have melded better in my own opinion. Our waitress was courteous and I will probably go back to try other meals!
