This is one of my all time favorite places to eat here in the city. Just south of downtown El Napalito sits in a very walkable area just off Broadway and Alameda. A bustling area often filled with foot traffic. It's beyond easy to stop in, or order doordash to easily pick up a small or big meal (or snack)! My favorite thing to get is a chicken gordita and a guacamole tostada 🤤 super fast, super easy and filling. They have amazing drinks as well. It doesn't matter what you get off the menu, everything has been delicious for me.

Excellent! I was craving huevos rancheros around lunchtime so the "Breakfast Served All Day" sign was just what I needed! The meal was nearly perfect. Simple and good huevos rancheros. The beans, rice, eggs, and green chili were all excellent. This really hit the spot. For what I was craving, I don't think I could have asked for a better meal! There was one staff member working the register and dining room which was plenty given that the dining room is very small. She as very polite and the food came out quickly. The only potential negative is that parking could be a bit rough. This restaurant is located in a small and busy strip mall. I had to wait for one car to pull out so I could park. Even if I had to walk a block or two, it would be worth it to eat here.

There is nothing special about the food it's very basic . It's not to say omg delicious but also not nasty. The place is very clean . We order and pick up your food . It's not like a chip and salsa sit down restaurant. Prices are very high about 16 each plate . Red enchiladas are basically can salsa . There tamales are smother and it's not in the description. It's a ok place . The staff does not check on you or the table .

Wife loves the chilaquiles here. The breakfast burritos are $6 and a very good size for price. The chilaquiles and other dishes are pretty high price points. Overall after two visits I would say it’s an average score in my opinion.
