Authentic mexican food. I stopped for a lunch and the place was almost empty. The good was amazing though, as was the horchata. We had the enchiladas, a huaraches, and a taco, and all were top notch. The salsas were all great. You get red and green to start and then the waitress asked if i wanted some hotter ones, which i also loved. They were warm, but not overwhelmingly so, and still had great flavor. There was plenty of parking too.

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.

Their chilaquiles are better than sex. The flank steak is marinated so well and incredibly tender. The silverware and glasses were all spotless and polished. I am still eating but had to pause to write this cuz I am beside myself right now.

Delicious food! You won't regret a meal at this place. We tried quite a few different dishes and I only ended up able to grab a few pictures. The portions were large, the food came out quickly and it was very fresh. You could tell that most of it was truly homemade. And on top of all of that- the prices were very reasonable! Also- very clean bathrooms. I think the only thing that I would suggest is to put a changing table in the ladies room. We will definitely be back in to enjoy an authentic meal again!
