Fantastic little spot. They have soft rellenos, and I am more of a crispy relleno guy, but it was still great. The green chili was flavorful. Not super spicy, but good. The rice and beans were awesome. Stopped in for lunch with some co-workers as a normal spot nearby was closed, and we were all pleasantly surprised. We now have two spots to choose from on this same block that we know are great.

When you walk into a Mexican restaurant, and it smells like someone's home you know it's going to be good. Staff is friendly, attentive, and courteous. Atmosphere is welcoming, and comfortable. The food had great taste, and exactly what I wanted when I was craving (clear your plate) authentic Mexican food. I highly recommend this restraunt.

This place was amazing! Authentic Mexican food (though we added crema because we like it). Sorry we didn't get many pictures of food, we dug in too fast. They were so kind to our 9 month old and brought her a tortilla to snack on while we waited. My sister says the margarita are great and the kids loved the Horchata.

Had a very delicious lunch here. The green chili was very flavorful and the salsa was nice and spicy. Definitely will return to try the mole and breakfast burritos!
