Don’t let the outside fool you, this is a wonderful little place. Large portions for the price. The tacos are the best I’ve ever had. I recommend getting the Borrego (lamb), it’s their specialty and it is great.
Very friendly owner and server. Dinning area and bathrooms are kept clean.

Very personable service, delicious food. We had chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. Food I kid you not came out in less than 5 minutes!
Atmosphere was good and clean.

Started off with the café de olla which was top notch. Quality customer service and clean restaurant and tables. Was craving chilaquiles so went for that with the steak. The green salsa was awesome and everything tasted great. The steak was a little overcooked but still had good taste/seasoning.

Came in and got quite a few tacos each one costing I think $1.25(?) with some family members and they tasted great. Definitely planning to go back to try some of their other dishes because the food didn't disappoint us at all! Never really noticed this restaurant since it doesn't have any flashy signs and what not but so glad we took the time to order lol. They have 2 tables outside if you wish to each in the natural air but since it's on a main road, it can get pretty noisy while trying to chat at the table

I took my family for Easter and had a very wonderful experience! Joe the owner was very nice and I was impressed by the service. Great cook and waitress too. Chilaquiles were amazing. The lamb plate was soo good and my kids loved their tacos! Thank you! Will be back soon!

I couldn’t believe this horrible experience!!!
After so many days, weeks, months of going here. I have officially called it, this place has lost its amazing Mexican vibe! The food isn’t the same without the previous owner and very much forgive this also dislike the experience. Never coming back and wish them the best.
