I love this place. If you want a good breakfast or lunch fast. That's the place. All the lady's are pretty polite and provide a nice service. Oh, the coffee, any size or types are good enough to stop by. Highly recommended.

The food was fantastic! Vary fresh and while they had menus the food changes daily so it's more of a guide line. We where the only ones in the restaurant who didn't speak Spanish but they made us feel comfortable and very welcome.
