Great food, not your average appetizers you commonly see at Mexican fast food. Like panbasos, gorditas, huaraches and real handmade quesadilla are the greatest ! Common street food from Mexico City . There barbacoa and consume is delicious not to greasy ! Saludos

Food is great to be a hole in the wall. The owner is very nice but the waitress was horrible she got me the menus and stood there and didnt say a word I saw that she was ready to write. I guess that was my hint to order drinks I guess. Great tacos on the weekends overall

Food was ok. They have sit down menus and a small selection of things they make there.My brother and I were the only ones there and it took a long time for our order. 6 tacos.Small place and tables are pretty close to each other.

Talk about a mexican feel, this place has it from decor to the stacked bottle racks. For my liking, this place was really something different and too pricey. Food was good. Bought tripas and mushroom tacos.the mushroom tastes sweet which was a big surprise. I dont think Ill come back but looks more of a family restaurant than for a lunch break which is why I went.

This. was. so. good. The huitlacoche quesadilla should get a Michelin star. The melon agua fresca - outstanding. The coffee flan - incredible. Such good food and kind people!

This place has a real homey feel to it, its run by a good Mexican family, each meal is made with care and is delicious. This torta was the size of a football. 10/10 would come back here again!

Poor service, food is not good but very expensive and also they charge 1.00 dollar for using credit card or debit card. I do not recommend this place. I recommendEl rincon Chilango the one in 17th. and Baker this is way better in service and food quality and more affordable prices and they dont charge extra for paying with credit or debit card

Food is so delicious! And their especiales on the weekends are the best. Their consome preparado is my personal favorite. They have tamales in the morning and tacos de trompo in the evenings from Fri-Sun

The place is dirtyThere is one price on the menu and when they charge you it is a very different price.When I asked for my receipt to be itemized, the lady was adjusting it.I will not return and with the money I paid $$$ I could have eaten in a much better place.

Review №45

2022-09-11 02:22:10

The prices are NOT what is on the menu, she charged me much more and the tax was NOT indicated, the lady altered the entire receipt. I DO NOT recommend this place, the food was kind of sad.

Review №46

2018-04-05 03:48:48

The place is horrible!!! The food was tasteless, everything was dirty and things were piled on top of each other, I dont know why the city doesnt do a review of that restaurant, Im sure they would close it...we didnt eat the food we ordered because it had a lot of fat, a lot of beans Without any salt, the tacos we ordered had the meat that was supposedly hard and even black! I had to ask for the bill and we left the food almost intact because we didnt eat it, it was inedible, it is urgent that they go check the place, cleanliness, and food management!!!...terrible place!!!
