At first you enter what looks like a Mexican mini-market, but if you look further in the back, there's a nice little sit down eatery that serves awesome tacos and has a nice assortment of Mexican beverages and bottled drinks. It's not as cheap as Taco Bell, but this is more of the real deal. This place definitely feels authentically homemade Mexican rather than mass produced. Your taste buds will thank you.

11/10. Horchata is flavorful and refreshing. The cashier recognized my order after two visits. The restaurant is in the back of a store so there is the option to purchase things to cook at home as well while you’re there.

modest authentic mexican cafe. very varied menu, tasty and large food plates entrance is a store that looks more like a supermarket with a large selection of piñatas, hats, pareos, souvenirs and everything in between

I love this place. This is the real deal. Family run - mom and family in the kitchen and kids helping. The food is amazing and delivered fast. The front is a typical bodega and the restaurant is in the back. Start with the fresh made chips and guacamole. Not to be missed if you love Mexican food.

I love the authenticity of the store and restaurant. Cafeteria style restaurant and very clean. The food tastes so authentic like it was homemade straight from the family kitchen. Al pastor tacos are top notch and the quesadilla carnitas was just as good. Highly recommend.
