I don't know if it was a mistake or it was done on purpose, but I was charged two meals and I only had one then I paid the waiter and when he came back, he asked for my change after he already screwed up the prices of my order

I stumbled upon this place thanks to my shared ride driver's recommendation. The atmosphere was incredibly cool and traditional. I was delighted to see a couple of ladies making tortillas right in front of me! To top it off, there was even live music playing when I visited. I decided to try the carnitas, which were good, although a bit dry for my liking. Nonetheless, the flavor was authentic and enjoyable. And I must say, the flour tortillas were absolutely delicious!

This spot came highly recommended by my shared ride driver, and it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was wonderfully traditional, exuding a cool vibe. What stood out was watching a couple of ladies skillfully making tortillas right before your eyes! To top it off, there was live music playing during my visit. While I found the carnitas a tad dry for my liking, they still had an authentic taste. And those flour tortillas? Absolutely delicious!

This spot came highly recommended by my shared ride driver, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was wonderfully traditional, with the added charm of watching a couple of ladies hand-making tortillas right before your eyes. There was even live music during my visit, adding to the vibrant ambiance. I opted for the carnitas, which were tasty albeit slightly on the dry side for my liking, though the flavor was undeniably authentic. The highlight for me, however, was the deliciously fresh flour tortillas.

Delicious food, the atmosphere is a little kitchy, but that is to be expected in old town. I had the fish burrito, and it was delicious. The margaritas are generous in size, but not very strong.

Great food. Even better atmosphere. Lots of lovely outdoor seating. Even though we were there on a Sunday afternoon and they were extremely busy, we were seated promptly and served just as fast. Waitress was friendly, engaging and patient. Great customer service. Was a great way to end our vacation.

This place is absolutely fantastic! The food and drinks were served promptly, and the music, including the mariachi band, really captured the essence of tradition. I simply loved it. No complaints at all.

Carne asada was tough and overcooked. Without much flavor. I was let down. Good tortillas though.

My shared ride driver recommended this place. It was such a cool atmosphere, very traditional. They had a couple of ladies making tortillas right in front of you! They even had live music when I was there. I tried the carnitas, and they were pretty good, a bit dry for my preference, but the taste was authentic. The flour tortillas were delicious!
