I have zero clue why I have never been here before now! Clearly I have been missing out! I wanted some birria tacos and decided to try theirs out for lunch. Honestly probably the best ones I’ve had thus far! And their broth actually had chunks of meat in it, first time I’ve had that happen and my God was it amazing! And I NEVER eat refried beans yet I found myself eating theirs lol. Everything seriously was delicious. Staff was friendly, place was very clean and has a nice decor. And the fried cheesecake was to die for. I will most certainly be back! Going to have to go for dinner one day and get a margarita.

Pollo con crema was really good and the waiter was very attentive and friendly. Food felt homemade!

Excellent authentic Mexican food. I don’t recall the name of what I ordered, but our friendly waitress recommended it, and it was great. Fried corn tortilla stuffed with stewed beef and onions, rice and beans on the side. All three were flavorful and delish. My wife ordered the taqquitos rancheros plate, and it was equally great. Complimentary chips and salsa were great, as was the complimentary dessert, which was maybe a sopapilla? It was fried flat bread with sugar, cinnamon, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. Very crispy and light. Service is super friendly, attentive, and our food arrived unbelievably fast. Like less than five minutes after ordering. A great place to eat if you are in a hurry.
