Almost perfect.
My Quesadilla, made from masa de maiz (corn tortilla masa) and with Flor de Calabaza (squash blossoms) was amazing! Their Quesadillas made with masa are completely different from the flour tortilla ones you're probably used to. I suggest you give one a try! Incidentally, they do have Quesadillas made from flour tortillas, so if you insist on that, you're good!
My mom tells me that her Birria de Chivo was perfect, served with chopped onions and cilantro and tortillas on the side.
My Torta was the only thing I had a small problem with. I ordered a Torta made with Barbacoa de Res (beef, as opposed to the traditional lamb, which they also have) and was expecting my beef to be juicy with that awesome broth it's supposed to have. Instead it was dry. It had the consistency of carnitas, only dryer. That made me a little disappointed.
Everything else about the Torta was delicious, though. The bread was perfect, the beans and avacado were delicious, and the queso fresco (or panela, I'm not sure!) was a happy surprise!
I will definitely go again and try their other Quesadillas. They have Ongos (mushrooms), and even Huitlacoche (can't describe, look it up!). And I will try the Torta again, only this time with Al Pastor. Can't go wrong with that!
Kind of a hole on the wall but with solid Mexican food. I almost always get a burrito. Clean space. Service is consistently friendly and welcoming. And they give you good chips and salsa with your meal.
The food lacked some taste. I got a shrimp burrito and it was missing something. I ate it because o was starving. The owner is very nice though.
Guillermo and his family love what they do, and they do it excellently! The lamb here is made in the traditional style of a hole in the ground and is the most succulent delicious meat you will ever taste! Their fresh water drinks are incredible too!
Great place. Very clean, excellent customer service. Very good authentic Mexican food. It's a hole in the wall but is a great place to eat with family. Food is fresh, never frozen. Did I mention VERY CLEAN AND EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
