We loved our experience at this cozy little restaurant! They brought chips, salsa, pico de gallo, and limes right away. My husband and I both ordered tacos. The tortillas seemed homemade. Everything was delicious!

I could not leave Tuscon without trying a Mexican restaurant. This fulfilled my hopes and dreams, authentic, casual and focused on the rights things-good food. I am pretty basic in my dish preferences so Monday lunch special for me-three tacos! Loved it, ate all of them + the beans and rice. And before it arrived, had to stop myself from eating the chips, with a perfect amount of salt and wonderful salsa. Would absolutely visit again when I return.

The best red chili chimichonga on the planet! It's the Friday special, beef or chicken with rice and beans.

White menudo is good but I'm sorry not the cocido. It tasted like water down and they never brought our tortillas to the table. Definitely not cocido at this place.

This is our go to breakfast stop every time we are in Tucson. The food is delicious and Alejandra's friendly and welcoming service has had us coming back for years! The menudo blanco with buttery, toasty bread is hands down our favorite. The milanesa plate is another one of our favorites. Highly recommend you check this place out.
