Their menudo and tacos dorados are delish!!!! Always busy busy... which speaks volume.
Best authentic food in The Valley, Been eating here for 20 years plus and never disappoints.
So good!! I get the chilaquiles, sopes, and fríes. Try them all or try one and you won't be dissatisfied, promise! The service is great!! They make sure you're well taken care of. The ambiance is like that of a Mexican restaurant, feels like a cozy authentic Mexican place. 10/10 recommend.
