Nice little Mom and Pop Mexican restaurant. I stopped in for breakfast and liked that they serve you a small bowl of soothing broth , noodles and vegetables before your meal. I had the chorizo and eggs with rice and frijoles and hot harina tortillas. Nice way to start my day. I’ll be back to try more.
