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.

Not coming here again. The hochata tastes old and gross, and the asada is recooked meat with extra seasoning. The meat is falling apart. Also, why do I have to put my toppings?? Never coming here again. Said it twice.

Arrive 1 pm, upon entering, you noticed it is very quiet and nobody is at the front. But sooner or later, someone does come out to attend you. You have to order at the cashier and they give you the food. The extra ingredients are out, unpacked, open air for anyone to grab, even for mosquitos and flies. (I only found mosquitos on said day I attended) Some tables looked dirty, and others looked fairly clean. I chose the closest one to me, but I don't think they wiped the table down. When I received my order, it was a very large plate. I forgot a machete was that large. But I still ate it all. I was very full afterwards. Food was good. Atmosphere felt very lonely and dry, that not even the cashier wanted to be there. Service was rather quick compared to other Mexican restaurants I have gone to. I was recommended the Pastor meat, which I think was relatively good. Some extra fatty meats here and there, but overall good.
