Lovely little Mexican spot. Authentic taste and delicious flavours. The bistek was a little chewy for me but my partner had no issues.
This place is so great, staff are so kind, food is 10/10
Incredible tacos! Most places in the neighborhood serve dry tacos, I believe the best ones are here. So flavorful and tasty. My favorites were the al pastor. Enchiladas verdes were good, especially the sauce! The chicken was too mushy however, I'd recommend it with another meat. Down to earth and friendly service. Looking forward to coming back and trying more!
The food was delicious and reasonably priced. They offer a variety of sauces, and you can even ask for a spicier option if you like. We tried the Al Pastor taco special and a burrito with fries, both were flavorful and generously portioned. I especially recommend the horchata; it’s absolutely delicious. They also have chess and other board games available, which adds to the fun and relaxed atmosphere.
This restaurant was a little gem we discovered today. If you’ve ever been to Mexico City, these tacos tasted exactly like the ones I remember from when I traveled there. It instantly brought me back. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was fresh and incredibly tasty. The horchata (the white drink) was absolutely delicious. You can really taste that it’s homemade. We ended up ordering quite a bit for just three people: 1 ceviche 4 orders of tacos (carnitas, pastor, chorizo, and bistek) 1 chilaquiles Every single dish was fantastic. Nothing was greasy, and everything was packed with flavor. The two young men working there were friendly and kind, which made the experience even more special for my family. It’s always nice to feel genuinely welcomed. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican flavors, this place is definitely worth a visit
