Amazing Food. I hope they open back up soon. Great prices, but relatively small portions. Their flavor was on point. This place could use a face lift but truly a delicious place to have an amazing meal.

Cozy little hole-in-the-wall, decorated with adorable family pictures, and (well-deserved!) small business awards. Had the chilaquiles plate with their homemade hot sauce for breakfast—hearty, comforting, and very reasonably priced. The hot sauce has a nice little kick of heat. Hugo was very kind and friendly,...Read More
