Bring Cash however they do have an atm machine inside. Real authentic Mexican food and the prices are insanely cheap. Today we ordered 4 tortas, 2 tacos, medium plate of spaghetti for my son and a guisado. Plus 2 horchatas. It was $40! That was for 5 adults & 2 kids. $40!!!!!!!
I have been coming here for years with my parents and now with mines. Guisados are delicious They also have tacos tortas( huge tortas by the way ) and burritos Arias frescas are a must Great friendly staff

This spot is horrible, unless you want to get corona virus well this is the place. Outside they maintain super dirty and inside the lady that is serving your food is not wearing a mask. Do not go here the food its not even that good i so far have found around 6 hairs every single time i go here. Not recommended
