“ Food was delicious, totally forgot about the picture but took one after the first bite. Both Chilaquiles were really good, the salsas are really good also and the coffee was good it had cinnamon like traditional “cafe de la olla”. One thing that might make it better is for the portions to be bigger since you are paying to add extras that usually should come included in the plate but instead the portions given are small. ”
“ This is one of my favorite places to go to for brunch. Their mini Reketes are so delicious and it’s the right amount of food for one person. Their red chilaquiles are one of the most delicious chilaquiles I’ve ever had. I think they use fresh ingredients. I stoped by this past Saturday to buy lunch for my spouse and I and after driving 30 mins to get home the food was still hot. I always recommend this place to my friends. 100/10 I always come back. ”
