The food is amazing, chile is fresh and flavorful. Fresh homemade tortillas, I recommend a side of chicharrones to accompany your meal.

It was packed. The food was pretty good. The prices were fair. The quality was good. The service was pretty good. Most of the staff was very friendly and outgoing. Definitely didn't care for their support of the mayor, But it's not a deal breaker. That's the great thing about being American, Is that freedom to express. So far we would definitely return. For four adults and one child, we paid about 100.00 plus a 15.00 tip to our waitress. So it was around 23.00 per person. I definitely would not buy the burger. That was really not good. But all of the mexican cuisine, no issues with.

Holy s#!t everything was incredible. We waited in line for a while to get a table, but absolutely worth it. The adovada was maybe the best I've ever had, we also got pozole (yum!) And samplers. I'd definitely recommend and will try and get back there sometime!!

We met friends here for lunch and were not disappointed. The egg burrito smothered in green chile was tasty, and the green chile had a definite bite to it. The carne adovada was amazing, especially when paired with the fresh flour tortillas. It was our first visit but will not be our last. Parking is challenging, but it is so worth hunting down a place to park.
