Excellent food! I recommend it!!

The restaurant wasn’t busy when I arrived and the food was really good. The server was friendly and prompt. I ordered a huarache de carnitas and it was really good. No negative feedback from me. I always tend to order what the waiter recommends and I saw a lot of people ordering the chicken soup. I would go back if I’m in the neighborhood.

Great place, mostly local guests, excellent honest Mexican food - I’m sure Anthony Bourdain would have loved it.
