I ordered chilaquiles with carne asada. They were delish not spicy not sour. Just right. The meat was soft and juicy.I also tried the pozole its white but its good too.Yummy in my tummy!

Always a delicious experience. I have been coming here for almost 6 years since their breakfast items are delightful. It's a full package of the main dish plus free coffee refills, a bread loaf, and fruit or fresh juice. Really always great. The downside will be there's always a bit of a long wait since you have to put your name down. Overall it's great.

This place has amazing food and service. You could put their sauce on shoes and it will taste amazing. Food has flavor and is not spicy at all(unless you want it). Staff was very warm and welcoming. The house coffee is sweet, but goes well with the food. I can't say enough great things about this place. Can't wait to go again.

Great place for breakfast/lunch. I have tried about 5 different plates and all have been great and tasty, the presentation of the food is also very nice. Prices are great. Service could be a little better but the quality of the food is there.

Best Pozole in town! If it’s your first time, here are the items you MUST try: pozole, enfrijoladas, sopes, and cafe de olla !! They have outdoor and indoor seatings. Parking is a bit tight, they are closed on Wednesdays.

The pozole and taquitos dorados were delicious. Pozole was served with all the toppings and a basket of tostadas. Great service! We will definitely return and let our family know this is a great spot!

Really good food. Authentic taste. It gets busy so seating could be an issue at times, more at lunch time.

Food is great, I gave it one star less because their pozole is a little bland - it used to be really good but something changed. The rest of their menu is really good, especially the enchiladas. Cafe de la olla is a little sweet for my taste but my family loves it, it's good. OJ is fresh, their outdoor patio is small and cute, lots of plants and shade. Expect a line. Worth it. Great brunch place.

Great food just bad service, been here a few time and it’s always the same thing they forget the food you oder. Sometimes the line is too long. But it’s definitely not waiting the wait.

This place used to be good, but now they’re clearly understaffed. There was only one cook and one waiter, which made the wait times extremely long. Our food came out in parts, and we had to wait while the rest of our party’s meals slowly trickled out. At one point, we were still waiting on four items we had ordered. To make things worse, they even overcharged us for items we never received—if we hadn’t caught it and told the waiter, we would have been charged for food we didn’t get. Definitely make sure to double-check your receipt.

Not recommended at all. The order was incomplete. When I called to inquire, the manager was very rude. He hung up on me and asked me to call Uber for a refund, when it clearly wasn't Uber's fault. They didn't send the entire order. The food was bland and tasteless. They shouldn't advertise themselves as Mexican food. A terrible place.

The staff was absent the entire time so it was hard to ask for basics like napkins or even a refill on our coffee. The worst part is the staff was rude to both my mother in law and my husband’s grandma more than once, then purposely began to avoid our table when we complained about it. If you decide to discriminate the elderly- at least be ready to accept the criticism and take accountability for your poor behavior.

This was one of my favorite places to eat for 10 years until this summer. My experiences went from bad to worse. I kept trying again thinking the service would be good again. From flavorless agua Fresca, to unbelievably salty beans and this most recent visit when I ordered to go and my order was taken incorrectly. I called back to see if I could have it fixed and they took my plate(that I had already cut into and brought back from home) back into the kitchen, fluffed it and gave it back to me. To top it off, I was told the manager wasn't in and so that's what I was stuck with.
