Muy buen sazón en la comida, la barbacoa de borrego no tiene progenitora está muy buena, solo como recomendación un poco más de picor en sus salsas, tienen buen sabor, solo a mi gusto un poco más picante quedaría excelente con la comida que sirven.

Great food , not your average appetizers you commonly see at Mexican fast food. Like panbasos , gordita's, huaraches and real handmade quesadilla are the greatest ! Common street food from Mexico City . There barbacoa and consume is delicious not to greasy ! Saludos

This place has a real homey feel to it, it's run by a good Mexican family, each meal is made with care and is delicious. This torta was the size of a football. 10/10 would come back here again!

Talk about a mexican feel, this place has it from decor to the stacked bottle racks. For my liking, this place was really something different and too pricey. Food was good. Bought tripas and mushroom tacos.the mushroom tastes sweet which was a big surprise. I dont think I'll come back but looks more of a family restaurant than for a lunch break which is why I went.

Food was ok. They have sit down menus and a small selection of things they make there. My brother and I were the only ones there and it took a long time for our order. 6 tacos. Small place and tables are pretty close to each other.

Food is great to be a hole in the wall. The owner is very nice but the waitress was horrible she got me the menus and stood there and didnt say a word I saw that she was ready to write. I guess that was my hint to order drinks I guess. Great tacos on the weekends overall

El lugar está sucio En el menú tiene un precio y cuando te cobran es otro muy diferente. Cuando pedí que me desglozara mi recibo, la señora lo estubo ajustando. No vuelvo a regresar y con el dinero que pague $$$ pude haber comido en un lugar mucho mejor.

Dave Amayo

El lugar esta horrible!!! La comida sin sabor, todo sucio y cosas encimadas por un lado y otro, no se como la ciudad no hace una revision de ese restaurante, estoy segura que lo cerrarian...no comimos la comida q ordenamos porq tenia mucha grasa, mucho frijol sin nada de sal, los tacos q pedimos tenian la carne dizque al pastor dura y hasta negra! Tuve que pedir la cuenta y dejamos la comida casi intacta porq no la comimos, era incomible , urge q vayan a verificar el lugar, limpieza, y manejo de alimentos!!!...pesimo lugar!!!

Poor service, food is not good but very expensive and also they charge 1.00 dollar for using credit card or debit card. I do not recommend this place. I recommend El rincon Chilango the one in 17th. and Baker this is way better in service and food quality and more affordable prices and they don't charge extra for paying with credit or debit card
