The food was amazing! Although the surprise burrito is more like a giant taco , menudo great flavor, . The area kind of sketchy but didnt stop us. Great place would definitely visit again.
First time to try lunch. Their breakfast is so good. Tortillas are home made and the Hot sauce is super good. I will say the chips are not that great. They need to get thinner chips
Its our first time here. We came for breakfast and its Very good food! Mom and pop with Good service! A must go for anyone who wants a good breakfast or lunch.
For some places 5 stars is not enough. This is one of those places. The food was soooo good. It was quality, fresh, and delicious. ...
