“ Amazing atmosphere, love the decor ! Service is great and the chilaquiles were bomb! Recommended 100%, if you want to have a nice spot with family and eat then this is the place ! ”
“ Got an empalme and it was delicious. My family is from Nuevo Leon and it felt like I was eating the way we love to cook. The staff is very friendly and checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our food. Great atmosphere will be visiting frequently from now on. ”
“ Really good tacos here! The al pastor is on another level—super flavorful. The salsas are delicious, everything tastes homemade, and the vibe is super chill. I’ve been several times for both breakfast and dinner, and it’s always good. Simple place, nothing fancy, but the food makes it worth it. I’ll be coming back for the pastor tacos for sure. ”
“ Don’t be fooled by personal opinions on the restaurants design. We came for for the breakfast. We loved how the waitresses where very attentive and the service was quick! We had the Torta and Chilaquiles with coffee. For this restaurant to be there for a while and serve good coffee and tasty meals, this is definitely the spot to be if you want a good meal after church or an event. ”
“ I gave this restaurant a second chance since I found out there were some changes to menu and they had remodeled it. The food was ok but the drink the orchata was horrible. It had a funny taste and it smelled like rotten eggs. I told the cashier about it and she told me that it might be the glass that the glass might not have been washed. What?? Did she think that made me feel better?Defending the product the orchata she blamed it on the glass it was served in. I paid my total bill, I didn’t ask for her to remove the orchata fee nor did she offer. She did offer if I wanted it into a to go cup. Of course NOT. The way they wash the glasses/cups or plates I wouldn’t go back again and would not recommend this place. ”
