Reviews
"This place has delicious food, from the posole verde, to picaditas, enchiladas verdes and mole verde with tamales tortilla (I don’t know what it’s called). My friends and I were here for about an hour and the amount of business this place gets is insane. The door kept opening for new customers arriving almost every 4 minutes. Jared the server was so friendly and he accommodated us so we can eat there as well as anyone that had questions and wanted a table."
"Authentic Mexican food. I got the Birria de chivo tacos on handmade tortillas. Came for lunch on a Thursday and it was empty but it looks like it can get busy. Definitely has family breakfast on the weekend vibes. Tortillas were soft. Meat was good. Salsa was flavorful"
"Definitely never coming back to this place again. Visited this place with my family after hearing good things about it from some friends and their band. All food, service, and atmosphere was a 0/10. Going in the crowded place, it was a free for all- nobody even greeted and the whole place and was insanely dirty. Ordered some taquitos dorados and let me say that the chicken was not edible- it was as hard and dry as a rock, if not even worse! You can easily tell none of the food was fresh. Owners don’t care about their business with such exaggerated prices. None of my family was content after eating here and I even felt sick. Would never recommend this spot for anyone."
"Came here while visiting family in LA from the Miami area. very satisified with everything we had here at this place. I had the Pozole which was very very good. I have traveled in Mexico and this plate here has flavors which reminded me of my mexico travels. and the plate they give you to support the Pozole was incredible."
