This place was cranking this morning. Very small seating area but found a spot. A ton of to go orders were coming in and out. I had some Menudo and I have to say it was delicious. Had a thick broth which was pretty unique. I do like it with some hominy but still tasted great. The tortillas looked to be homemade and were pretty yummy. All their food looked delicious and can't wait to try some different items on the menu.

Great food and great environment!!! The vibe of the place is also great and employees are very nice.

Went on Saturday for dinner. We really wanted to try caldo de rez, but by 6:30 they were sold out. We ended up getting menudo and a shrimp plate. The food was so tasty. They had homemade tortillas that were soft and fresh! The shrimp was cooked deliciously and the menudo was nicely spicy and yummy. The restaurant itself is pretty small, and just felt really hot when we were inside, so you can dine in, but I feel it's mostly used for togo.

You know it's good when your a foodie but forget to take a picture first! This place is always packed and for good reason no matter what you get it's tasty. I personally love the pastor quesadilla and Camarones a La diabla if you like spicy and shrimp don't be afraid to go for it! A lot of there baked goods are fresh and delicious. I'm kinda a tres leches cake snob and this one was ranked 4 of 10 for me. The flavor wasn't bad but the top cake had no leche in it. I will try again maybe was just a off day but over all a great experience every time I go. Nice staff and tight seating but well worth it.

The menudo was amazing. Spicy but full of flavor. We also got about 10 pieces of pan dulce and they were also delicious, not dry, very soft and very fresh. Coffee was delicious too I was able to drink it black.
