Recommended by a friend. We were seated right away with the waiter arriving promptly.
The menu included both breakfast and lunch items.
I had the machaca burrito with rice and beans while hubby had the shrimp 🦐 burrito a la carte.
Happy that I could exclude bell pepper from my burrito which told me food was made fresh. We were served chips and salsa.
Chips were served warm and very fresh.
The salsa was very flavorful. My burrito was excellent 👍.
Hubby said he would give his burrito 4½ 🌟 stars.
And the rice and beans I really enjoyed. Will return soon!

We stayed across the street and this eatery was recommended by the concierge.
Great place.
Wish I thought to take more photos.
We ate there 3 times - two suppers and one breakfast.
Taco salad was delicious as were the seafood tacos.
I am not a breakfast fan but my friend was happy.

Had a very nice lunch at this long-standing neighborhood cafe.
I've eaten here many times over the years and have never had a bad meal.
The shrimp taco salad and a shredded chicken quesadilla were delicious and a great value.
The menu has a great selection of authentic Mexican and other dishes.
The sidewalk tables are also great for people-watching.
They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I recommend you give them a try.
Margaritas are great here too!
