Everything here was exceptional: the agua de horchata, homemade tortillas de maíz, huaraches, arroz, frijoles, quesadillas de huitlacoche and flor de calabaza, cecina al albañil. This is the best, most authentic Mexican food I've had on this side of the border - even better than some of the restaurants I ate at while living in Mexico for almost 5 years. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was outstanding too. Our server was so warm and welcoming. Even when business was pretty steady, she was always attentive and kind while working alone. So glad we took the bus trip to get to this gem of a spot.
