This is the best restaurant, I’ve eaten at in years. I literally cannot do this tiny, hole in wall any justice. My advice, go there before they become famous and bougie. Everything I ate was phenomenal. I have literally thought about those dishes, well, too often! I obviously can’t wait to return. The prices are modest, service was excellent, parking was easy, and the food!!! Definitely order the chips and salsa, my mushroom tacos were ridiculously good, the tamales are amazing, and the corn was so good, it should be illegal. Go before it’s famous!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I had the Tostadas Cochinita Pibil with an Horchata late. It was pretty good, I’m more of a pupusa girl, so my tastebuds are a little different I love spice but also like a more subtle flavor if that makes sense but I wanted to try something new. The tostadas were FILLED with meat (it was a lot for me lol and super flavorful) I feel like it’s not for me, but I’m also just picky. It was still wonderfully cooked 👌🏽 loved the pickled onions and cilantro 🤗 I had ordered a Cinnabon Roll. I was hoping it would be warmed, but again still well made just not my preference. I’ll definitely come back to try something else. It’s always fun to try different flavors. Thank you!!

This was my second time here. They have a lifetime fan in me. I’ve had great experiences. The food was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. Everything I ordered came out hot and tasted authentic with well-balanced seasoning. The portion sizes were very generous, especially for the price, which made it feel like a great value. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, it’s a solid spot for amazing food where you leave full and satisfied.
