Food was very tasty, lots of different authentic Mexican and Oaxacan dishes. Food portions were so big, tacos were the size of burritos.

Talon Windwalker

Really tasty food. Tacos were HUGE! The tortillas are about the size you'd use for a burrito in the US. She has a really great selection of items, and everything I had was very tasty, including the agua de maracuyá. She's really friendly. Prices were very reasonable.
