The food here is great, very delicious and the micheladas are tasty. However the time to be served is VERY VERY VERY LONG! The servers are friendly however they are inexperienced and forgetful. I recommend they hire another cook and take time to properly train the servers on how to wait a table. If these things are changed I will change my review to 5 stars because I am a frequent customer and I enjoy the food here.

Mango aguachile and the ceviche de camaron here are fire. I believe the chef here said he's from Guerrero (Mexico), so whatever recipe he uses is really good.Service here gets backed up a bit, but overall the food makes up for that. They also use their own michelada mix + chamoy, so those are super tasty.Highly recommend if you like ceviche/aguachile

Light, delicious Mexican fare that really hits the spot! Just left here and feeling satiated without feeling heavy. So glad we gave this spot a shot. We'll definitely be back!I am vegetarian- I was worried the cheese enchiladas would be heavy so I got bean enchiladas with rice and beans on the side. They covered it with a lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and a sprinkle cojeta cheese. They were so well-made and so fresh that I might even try the cheese next time! Very light and delicious.My husband got the three taco plate with a side of beans and rice – he loved all his tacos, both the beef and the chicken. Kept raving about how delicious the food was and saying it is the best Mexican food he’s ever had.My young son asked for just a bean burrito with nothing else inside. But then he kept taking rice from my husband and I! A win for the whole family.

Great experience. I didn't have a lot to spend so the woman handling the order suggested a certain item that was on the specials for lunch. She said it would give me the most food for the amount. Great tasting food with a very tasty salsa. I don't order a drink so, without asking, she brought me a cup of ice water. Nice place, very polite employees and great food. I'm definitely coming back.

It took over half an hour to get our food. Like maybe 45 minutes. And the place was empty when we got there. The woman who served us was super nice, but I would've liked an update on why it was taking so long without me having to ask.

Really good chilaquiles and a super nice cucumber/chia/lime aqua fresca (and nice horchata too). Friendly and efficient service. Want to try their pozole next.

Terrible staff. Food was decent but it's not worth bad treatment. Go somewhere where you're treated well for your patronage.

Beef, and Chicken tacos were delicious, so were the rice and beans. Definitely will be back, the menu does have a lot to offer and looking forward to their burritos. Quite chill spot with plenty of indoor seating as well. Has a very home style home cooked taste and feel.

The food is amazing here. With homemade sauces. Thier chamoy is delicious, and they sell it, if you would like to take some home. I would highly recommend! The portion size is pretty big for the price. I am going to recommend this place for anyone seeking a good authentic Mexican restaurant.

Delicious food homemade taste. Very homie like authentic Cafe de olla. Will keep going
