Our server was really nice & took the time to explain the menu to us, which we really appreciated. We came here because we were specifically looking to try tamales & found this place online. While the tamales were a bit dry & not quite to my taste, the rest of the food was absolutely delicious. Overall, the great service & quality of the other dishes made it a positive experience.

Best Chilaquiles in town, by far! Always fresh & good quality. Nothing to add in the seasoning.

NB. I've only eat this meal each time I went at this place. So I don't know about the other items on the menu!

Alright. Nothing to rave about. The tacos de carnitas were dry for my taste, they aren't the classic carnitas tacos. The suadero tacos were better. All in all I found it expensive. 3 small tacos runs you up about 18-20$ txs inc. For two people (3 orders of tacos) with 1l of horchata drink ran a bill of 70$
