Ordered the large vegetarian burrito. It was huge. Mostly frijoles and rice, with some lettuce, onion sauce and jalapenos. Truly massive so I didn't think I could finish it, but I was hungry than I expected. The flavor of the rice and beans was fantastic. The folks who work there are very kind and service was quick. The space is clean and homey. I felt welcome and comfortable. The burrito and a can of soda came to $15. I am so full. Will go back.

They make the best burritos. Tender meat. Tamales are bomb. And it's a small business owner

This place is tiny and depending on the day of the week may not be that busy. But ohh boy the food is sooooo good here. Everything is really home made and great quality. Beware it is cash only. That's when you know food is good ;)

I was looking for a new Mexican restaurant with an authentic feel, and that's precisely what I found here. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just two friendly ladies serving and making the food fresh to order. It's a clean place with a wide menu, and they also have the typical options of Mexican fondas: "Breakfast of the day" or "the lunch of the day" (platillos del día), which are pretty varied and reasonably priced ($17 and $19, respectively, including handmade tortillas). I ordered the breakfast burrito ​​(egg, beans, potatoes, cheese, and salsa) without chorizo, a chicken sope without sour cream, and horchata water (DELICIOUS). I definitely plan to go back; I left with a "buen sabor de boca."

The food was just "okay". Nothing special and way over priced. I will only come back if I have no other options and am practically starving to death. I'm 5'4 200lbs so I don't expect that to happen. ever.

I’ve been going here for 7+ years and for some reason lately service hasn’t been the same. I’ve tried to order regular nachos (just chips and cheese) more times than I can count and they get it wrong always adding something else. I’m wondering if it’s a joke at this point.

Burrito tasted funny, I thought maybe they forgot to add something. Nope turns out it was food poisoning from the burrito, ended up puking half an hour later

Service was one star, the atmosphere was one star, and the food was one star. I payed $10 for super nachos and all I got was cheese, very little meat and beans. I've made better nachos at home!

$3.50 each for tamales you take out of the freezer, make the customer wait 15 minutes so you can microwave, all so I can come home to lukewarm tamales. The folks outside 7/11 and Walmart grinding to sell you tamales deserve more for over this restaurant’s carelessness, but it’s on me for even ordering them here… usually just get burritos from Viva Micoachoacan… just wanted to try something else this morning. But the audacity to charge $3.50 for the frozen tamales is something else.
