“ Our metric fir authenticity and quality of a Mexican restaurant is the tortillas. These tortillas were amazing - both the corn and the flour. We will stop here again! ”
“ Edit: the food is still great but lately they are often closed early (based on their published hours) or not open at all. I generally love and prefer to support local business but kinda hard to do so if they aren't actually open. Original review- This is a small friendly spot, quiet and very well handled. Quality of food and service excellent, my daughter had her preferred fill of bean cheese and bacon tacos and finished every bit. Not too many places have the option even, but the costillas de oven (short ribs plate) is a major standout, very tender and delicious. Even got some to go. Good food, great prices as well. Highly recommend ”
