Excellent breakfast burritos and chilaquiles for Sunday brunch! We really liked the cozy outdoor seating with lots of tables available. The omelets were solid but a bit over-fried. Pricing is excellent with most dishes under $12. Cash only.

Don’t let its humble decor fool you, the food was amazing. We got the quesabirria on a weekend, the breaded chicken torta and chicken soup. The quesabirria was so well cooked, meat was tender and flavorful and the shell was crispy. The soup was clearly made with care. Prices are reasonable and portions are super generous. Seems like this place has been around for a while, I hope folks continue to support them for the delicious offerings

On the hunt for Machaca in the city, this place is solid! Good flavor nice crispy bits, slightly less eggs than expected but portion size was impressive. The tortillas seemed handmade, super thick and held together well. The salsa they brought out for the table has a nice kick but I used it by the spoonful. Tostada's were loaded up with veggies, sour cream and cheese, the Chile reillenos was solid as well, also good portion she brought home half of it. Excited to head back!
