Well, talk about a hidden gem. I had this place bookmarked but could not tell you where I heard…read moreabout it. It is basically a little luncheon oasis dropped right in the middle of a gigantic industrial park. On the drive over I was seriously questioning my Yelp choices. It is that kind of location. But trust Yelp and sometimes you are handily rewarded, which we absolutely were. We came after a few hours strolling around at the Botanical Gardens, so we rolled in around 1:30 and there were still plenty of people there. I can only imagine at noon this place is packed, and honestly it should be. My biggest complaint is the menus. There is one above the counter that does not include everything, and then a different, more complete version if you scan the QR code at the table (But 2 different navigations even on the website with slightly different menus). Do yourself a favor and look it up ahead of time so you are not standing there making panic decisions. There is a half sandwich and half soup combo (Not on the board but online menu), which is definitely the move. I got the pozole, which you should absolutely order, and a half grilled cheese on their housemate sourdough. Normally not my go to, but I was trying not to be completely stuffed since we had dinner plans. And they bake their own sourdough, so I had a strong feeling it would be great, and it delivered. Toasty and melty, American and cheddar. My husband got the southwestern wrap, and my friend went with the half club and half tomato soup. She immediately regretted not getting the pozole and the half birria sandwich, which tells you everything you need to know. Also need to mention the snickerdoodle. Not much to look at, kind of humble, but it completely makes up for it with flavor and that perfect soft texture. Go ahead and get the cookie. You are not here to make responsible decisions. Bottom line, it may feel like you are driving into the middle of nowhere, but keep going. This place is worth it.

Since they are only open on weekdays, tried this highly rated restaurants. Ordered the birria and…read moreit tasted great. Looks their bread are made in house.

Real good verde chilaques. And the flower is edible too - the best flower I've had up to date (I'm…read morenot going in public and eating flowers!) crunchy with some flavor when you broke down the petals in your mouth. Sauce was sublime and the right viscosity for the rest of the dish. I was really impressed here - they are spot on with the texture. Right amount of flavor and spice - same for the chipotle version which I sampled from my friend I got the verde chilaquiles with sunny side up, refried beans and a flight of sangria. Staff was super friendly and attentive!

Not good for large parties 10+ We had a reservation for 13…read moreppl at 11 am. Reservation means To secure a guaranteed table in advance, typically to avoid long wait times and manage busy hours. Ambiance was loud and busy since it was a Sunday morning Our whole party was on time and they won't seat incomplete parties. We waited additional 45 min to get seated. The server seem flustered and annoyed with large parties, he took our drink order , left and upon arrival we gave him our order as we were ready to order and eat. I understand large parties take long but food came out decent time in parts of course but the expo , lady refilling coffee were super nice to us. We brought our own cake to cut but we didn't feel welcomed so we decided to hurry eat and go home. Food was okay I enjoyed my pancakes over my entree but definitely not a place for large parties. Anything under 5-6 people will get sat faster and better service.

And even then it took us a few years to finally drop in and give this place a try. Not sure if this is the first or second restaurant in this location since the changeover. So finally today we stopped in. The inside was much larger than I expected it to be. It was very fresh and clean on the inside. The inside had a little bit of a 1950's vibe with its light turquoise padded booths and chairs. Along with fresh clean walls and similar tones of turquoise, it was a very refreshing visit. The restaurant was sort of divided into two sections. The main dining area and a smaller area on the side with mexican sweets, sweet breads etc. It is a nice little area to come for coffee and a treat for breakfast. They also have bread and tortillas for purchase. I ordered the fried tilapia and grilled veggies. The tilapia was very good but I didn't care for the veggies. Also came with rice. There was a lot of food on that plate and the piece of fish was big too!!! The prices were good. Staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely be going back.

Seriously, you need to grab your sombreros and try this place out…read more I'm one of those kind of people that don't like to go to dives, even if I've heard that their food is excellent. I like to eat in nice surroundings and in a descent neighborhood. However, from what I read about THIS food, it made me change my mind. Not in a great neighborhood and in an old strip mall, we seated ourselves. I think at one time this place was nice but now it needs freshening up. But none of that matters now after the food experience that we had. We started with the rich and delectable Roasted Poblano Cream Soup. Oh man, oh man, oh man - my friends, this is a must try. But that was nothing compared to the next dish of Signature Pollo Sazon. Description from the menu: Chicken breast stuffed with chorizo, poblano peppers, and queso Oaxaca, cornmeal breading, pan-seared and laced with a house ancho chile honey sauce. Folks, there were so many flavors going on, I don't even have the words to describe the deliciousness. And what a beautiful presentation! I will definitely try this place again and again.

The space feels a bit stark - the blue and white decor and the harsh fluorescent lights aren't doing the space any favors. A lot of the signs have a "laugh, live, love" sensibility.

I liked the hearty serving on the veggie omelette - it comes with your choice of a wide variety of sides. I tried the hash browns and they were perfectly crisp and salty. I also picked a biscuit for a little extra carb-loading. So delicious!
