Small but clean restaurant with great coffee and amazingly delicious and flavorful food! Such delicious breakfast. The food came out quickly and was fresh and hot! The homemade corn tortillas are delicious, flavorful and soft. The flour tortillas are a bit tough and chewy though, try the corn! I was leery of the fries on the breakfast plate vs chopped potato cubes but they were delicious. The refried beans had such great flavor, they were the most flavorful refried beans I’ve had anywhere. We all enjoyed the chips, they were hot, fresh fried, and crispy. The salsa was homemade and not too tomatoey or acidic, it was balance so nicely. The green sauce is delicious. The burrito was filled with egg and sausage and was a generous size. There are so many menu items to choose from we will be back to try more.

I absolutely love this place! The fajita tacos are my favorite, but be sure to give the enchiladas and the flautas a try, too. They are delicious as well! There are many things to choose from (pictures of dishes displayed on their wall) and they also have daily specials. For the adult beverage drinkers, the micheladas are legit ! Be sure to check out the 'utensil art' to the right of the register; It's very artistic

Great food at a great price. The service was great and my only complaint was the music was quite loud. They also have employees who speak English as well as Spanish, so as long as you speak one of the two, there will be no problem with communication.
