    Has a late breakfast with my parents yesterday. Plenty of parking and we were seated quickly so it was off to a great start. Service was great, very friendly and attentive to our table. I ordered chilaquiles with beans only. The chips themselves were good, nice flavor and crispiness. The beans needed a little salt and I would have preferred cotija cheese on them instead of shredded cheese. Parents were both happy with their meals as well (photos). Just an FYI on the chicken, it was purposely ordered that way due to dietary restrictions. We had cheesecake and flan for dessert, which was good as expected (no photos). I'd recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to have a good breakfast or lunch that isn't too loud with TV's.

    Food was soo good. My daughter and I have been wanting to try this place and we were not disappointed. They have a huge menu from American food to Mexican food. I got the beef fajitas and my daughter got a taco and we were very pleased with our food. Everything was homemade and made with love. The staff was super friendly and we will definitely be going back.

    Loved the service, and the green salsa is one of the best I've tasted in a long time. The food is incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this location 👌

    We went because they had a BOGO offer, and were very pleasantly surprised! Service was quick, pleasant, and attentive. The chips were light and crispy (not heavy and greasy), and the salsa was good and spicy. My husband's carnitas arrived on a huge plate. He loved the very finely chopped cilantro that accompanied the rice. The rice was fluffy with a few veggies mixed in. And he ate all the beans [normally doesnt eat any]! The carnitas were absolutely fantastic! So very good for his meal. I had chicken breast fajitas that arrived steaming with a tantalizing sizzle. They were delicious also. So very good for me. We will be returning!
