Words from Visitors
Guestbook
“ Good food, big portions at reasonable prices. They have a free parking lot with limited parking and a few wheelchair accessible parking spots. You can also park on the street The service was very good, they kept our coffee cups and water glasses full at all times. Even though, the place was close to full capacity, we didn't have to wait too long to get our food. Some of my favorite dishes are the "Mayan Combination" and the "Huevos Aporreados Con Salsa Verde." The other thing that sets them apart from most other places is the hand made tortillas. I also love the idea that I don't have to bring a lot of cash. You can pay with a credit card, without incurring extra fees. Yes! They don't charge you any extra fees for using a credit card. They still have unlimited free chips and salsa. ”
“ They have hand made tortillas. I ordered a quesadilla de cecina which comes with cheese, meat, lettuce and tomatoes. The tortilla was handmade and just the right thickness. Their salsa is served warm which I like because it doesn’t cool down my food like other restaurants that serve their salsa cold. On Tuesday they have margarita specials, I had the mango and it was great! Great food at reasonable prices. Make sure to try it out! ”
“ The coffee is amazing. The cesina dinner is delicioso. Portion are very generous. The only suggestion is to serve hand cut nopales. "Not from a can it makes the food to salty. ”
“ Fantastic restaurant - excellent food, customer service, and ambience. Love visiting anytime I am in town. Their carne asada is delicious, but so are their breakfast dishes, enchiladas, chilaquiles, sopes, and drinks too! The handmade tortillas are perfection. Food was so amazing and their warm homemade salsa is so delicious accompanied by their tostadas. Convenient and free parking lot available. Please support this local business - you won't regret it! ”
