First tried a few years ago and loved it. I couldn't remember the name and drove by there today. I had 2 steak tacos. So damn good wanted to go back for more. Tasted very fresh, steak was perfect! Owner is very attentive, patient and nice. No sign outside. May go back this weekend.

Trust the reviews on this one, this place is the real deal. Adorably small and quaint, they serve up delicious food cooked fresh. The staff (presumably the owners) are friendly and courteous, and grill up your order right in front of you.A new favorite, this place has become a staple of mine.

Don't go here please DONT!!!! Just pretend you are walking into your Mexican grandmas house. And you Oder the chilaquiles (verdes / green for me). You might miss the place but yes that's it on the corner the yellow building serving some of the best Mexican I've tried. The menu is small. And the chicken soup only on Tuesdays and Thursdays is delicious. Its not on the menu It's basic Mexican food but if you don't know what you're doing you really can mess it up. I'll repeat don't...read full review
