“ Food is delicious and authentic. They also make hand made tortillas. Salsas top the flavor. It is just all delicious. Will definitely be back. ”
“ I love this Place!!! Food is great and the cooks are so nice and have skill. If waitress or cashier is busy, the chef(s) will ask you if he can help. Staff is all very nice and attentive. The owner has been seen helping a homeless man with hot tea and a quesadilla. That's what I call a Community Focused Business. Note: I stop in for coffee all the time, and most of the time they have my coffee ready before I make it to the register. I can't say enough good things about this place. The quality is 100 times better than the well known Atotonilco down the block. I just wish they'd stay open later, but hey.... They deserve the break. ”
