Hubby, his uncle, and I came here for lunch.
We were seated right away and attended too.
I ordered the carne adovada and replaced beans with rice, and sopapilla, and hubby ordered 2 eggs, bacon, and sausage place which comes with papitas (potatoes) and smothered with both red and green chile (they call Christmas because of the colors).
They also serve chips on the house as you are waiting for your food to be served. Food: Full of flavor, cooked right, and served hot (not dangerously hot).
Even the chips were warm and tasted like it’s just made.
The sopapilla is so light and yummy. Ambiance: The restaurant has outdoor dining but with the cold weather, better sit inside as it is clean and cozy.
Just the perfect warm comfortable temperature. Service: Our server was attentive and friendly and warm. The entire experience was pleasant and I definitely recommend this place 100%.

Chile rellenos were so delicious and crispy.
Kids menu was a nice option for our 4 year old.
Husband enjoyed a stuffed sopapilla with Carne adovada.

The food was 👌🏻 we all finished our plates and didn’t have to eat again for the rest of the day! Sopapillas we’re maybe the best I’ve ever had and the chile relleno batter was perfect.
I’d skip the margaritas, but everything else was fantastic.
