Best handmade corn tortillas and the freshest pico I've had. For a tiny place it packs a big punch on the quality of the food and the service with a smile. It's a lovely community of locals enjoying good food and good company!

This restaurant is my friend go to place for breakfast and lunch. When I'm visiting him we always go here. The waitress/waiters are quick to get your drink order, and if you go several mornings in a row, they'll bring you it without asking, which is nice. The breakfast is plenty and cooked to order. The lunch is the same with plenty to eat. I have enjoyed this place very much.

Incredible food! From the pancakes to the barbacoa tacos it was perfect! This is the best barbacoa I have EVER had. The family and I loved it.

Love the new place! It gives you a lot more seating. Food is wonderful! Coffee is great love coming in often! However, I wish the food was warmer. The tacos have come out cold, along the migas plates that’s my only real complaint. The food tastes wonderful when it is warm. I’ve had to send plates back due to this. Service could be a little more attentive but all around very nice! They are always so nice.

Fantastic homemade food for a great price. I highly recommend the pork chops and breakfast tacos. Coffee is good and served in beautiful handmade mugs. Only negatives were the service was a little disorganized and the parking lot isn't striped so we actually were blocked in until another car left.

I really wanted to love this place, but it fell short. The young waitress clearly did not want to be there serving us. The rest of the staff was extremely friendly and outgoing. My pancakes tasted very good, but not cooked through. Eggs and bacon good. Coffee was good. Restrooms were very clean. I would eat there again if I was staying in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again.

Tried this place again. My flour tacos were good. My husband ordered chicken flautas. The chicken was dry and no crema or sour cream available. They ran out. Tried to order tacos to go but the kitchen was closed.

Dishes under $10 & taste like it too! Wouldn't go back. Food was also served cold. There are many reviews about food being cold, might want to work on that. Cleaner than most places, nice decor. But a solid 2 stars.

Service is slow and they were not busy. Brought out two orders and then five minutes later brought out the last order. Food was so so and not warm enough like it had been setting for a while. Price is ok, but you don't get a ticket. You go to the counter and tell them what you ordered not a good way to conduct business.
