Updated: I have now been to this place several times. My experiences have been mostly pleasant each visit. Visited for the first time since the pandemic and discovered a few changes. They no longer bring chips and salsa out to the table. They now charge for them. Staff is very kind, but extremely unorganized. Food items kept coming out one at a time so by the time everyone's food arrived, someone else's food was already cool. They didn't bring plates out for the parrillada until we asked for them. Extra napkins weren't brought out without being asked. The staff is ridiculously kind and fun. Not a knock on them, but I'm not sure if they were short staffed yesterday or if things just aren't being run as smoothly as before. Food was still delicious, but for the lack of parking, meals served in shifts, and having to ask for items it's not worth going back for me. First time visiting this place. Tons of seating both inside and outside. They offer a wide range of meal options (I had their milanesa which was delicious), so you're bound to find something to eat on the menu. Their michelada is delicious as well and comes with clamato and tajin and a giant cucumber spear inside it for an extra buck. Tortillas are handmade and fresh. Chips and salsa are good as well. They offer delivery via Door Dash. Only downside to this place is the parking. Plan on circling around a few times or parking a little bit away if the parking gods are not in your favor.

Went here for the 1st time and I have to say I was very happy with the service and the food - the place actually makes u feel like your South of the border - I has the albóndiga soup which is Meatball soup 🍲 liked it so much I had to order another to go for my parents- definitely plan on going back -

This local spot is a favorite of ours. The fresh, house made corn tortillas never disappoint and the vegetarian section of the menu makes it easy for everyone to eat. Highly recommend the soy chorizo plate and sopa de albóndigas. Cute patio for outdoor dining, and is heated at night

First time here and will be going back soon! I ordered queso con rajas tamale, flautas, and fish taco. Everything was fresh! Flavorful! and hot! Really love their salsa verde! spicy! If you wanna try a new spot that won't disappoint then this is it!
