This place was amazingly delicious, it's a little mom and pop spot, the patio area is really nice, feels like I was in Mexico lolWe had the ceviche shrimp and fish tostadas then we had the Molcajete. Seems like they're remodeling the parking area so the place looks closed but it's open! I almost didn't stop because I thought it was shut down.

I stopped here after reading the reviews. SO GLAD I DID!! Great options. Amazing customer service! We had breakfast got the chiliquiles en verde. Delicious! Being from out of state I always check reviews! If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping in! The portions are great as well.

This place is SO GOOD. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is the BEST. They’re so kind and friendly, and will make you feel like family. We went on a Sunday morning, and although we waited around 30 min for our food, it was definitely worth it! Their Salvadoran breakfast is delicious and the menudo as well. The horchata is so creamy, probably the best I’ve ever had!

Food was fresh and delicious, the portion sizes are healthy and everything tastes homemade! Service was wonderful!

The food is fresh and delicious. Most small places like this take prideful steps pleasing there customers. This place goes beyond. ?
