Rice,beans and tortillas were great.
The chicken was dry ,flavor was just ok. They had good service.
I will probably be back to try other menu items.


This place is probably not too recognized but they do sell great roasted chicken, and they offer homemade tortillas, i usually order the gorditas they are really good and fairly cheap with usually two of them is more than enough and as a starter you get the option to either try chips or charro beans which are really good.


Love this place.
Not fancy.
But authentic.
Prices are very reasonable..large servings of a complete meal for two for less than 20.00.
