I found this place at a whim, feeling very hungry after watching my grandson playing a basketball game. The waitress was cordial and professional. I was interested in trying their version of menudo, and my wife was interested in the relleno plate. The way the rellenos were made are different but very good. The menudo is good as well. It pairs up with the corn tortillas better than bread that they provided. Mind you, the larger bowl of menudo is literally a large bowl very well worth the price. Now, as for the relleno plate, we are not sure why a Russian salad is served with it. It was different, but very tasty. A Guatemalan/ Mexican food restaurant serving a Russian salad is baffling. They do serve very delicious food and the place is quite busy as well. They do have kids' favorite food available. It's a good place to try at least once, and they do have a website as well.
We enjoyed our lunch here. The steak meat for thr fajitas was very tender & flavorful. The kids enjoyed the chicken flautas, my partner got the caldo de res and felt it could use a little more flavor but it was perfect for a cold day. Their agua frescas were delicious. We will definitely be back.
The staff and owner are very friendly and will even prepare your meal as you request. The cuts of beef used are excellent compared to other Mexican restaurants, very tender.
We had fantastic shrimp and beef tacos, rice and beans! And what nice service. Just the authentic experience and excellent preparation we were looking for.
