This tiny Mexican restaurant only has outdoor seating, so in cold months it's strictly take out which is why I had to wait until summer to try it because I don't order delivery that much & don't live nearby. It's cool that they have some breakfast burritos that are offered all day. Those were the most unique offerings, so although it was closer to dinnertime I went for one of the egg burritos. It was pretty delicious, paired with the meat nicely. Service was fine, the guy working was very responsive to the bell.

This is their green enchilada. It wasn't amazing but I'm positive a lot of people will enjoy it. You should get their Flan for dessert as well & check out their candies also

The best Birria tacos in the city, I go to pick up & order off DoorDash consistently & it's always amazing. They have amazing Horchata as well. I cannot get enough of this restaurant. This would be my last prison meal.

You know the feeling when you discover a great place late in the game & then you get fomo about all the great meals you could've had? This place is it. Get the quesabirrias & tell me they don't invade your dreams afterwards. If my wallet & waistband would allow me to eat here everyday, I would. Everything else they make is also A1, but those quesabirrias man… el paraiso aquí mismo. I would add photos but they're always gone in five minutes.
