    Quesacoas
    Brittany R.

    All I have to say is OMG. I have been searching high and low for good flautas since my last trip to Mexico and I finally found them. Absolutely the best, most authentic Mexican food in van buren/Kalamazoo counties. The quesacoas were also incredible. Rice & beans are perfection. This is well worth the drive from wherever you are coming from. It was so good I forgot to get a picture of the flautas before I ate them!

    Steak burrito, tamales, barbacoa and carnitas tacos

    Had a solid meal here. The steak burrito was tasty, if not the most substantial I've encountered. The carnitas and barbacoa tacos were plump and flavorful. I preferred the beef, my partner, the pork. The tamales, pork, red and green, were just okay, a bit dry, a bit underwhelming. The service was friendly and quick. I would stop in again.

    They usually run out of stuff by the end of the day so get there early. Carne asada tacos are the best in town, hands down.

    One of my favorite cafe in the area. Plenty of seating, parking shouldn't be a problem, well I only…read morecame here early in the morning Good coffee, good food and good service.

    I really wanted to LOVE this place. It is a locally owned breakfast spot owned by a Costa Rican…read morefamily which had me from the start. I was excited to try their breakfast dishes because I was looking forward to some Costa Rican style dishes and was excited to see what their flavors were all about especially in this small little town. I ordered the tico sunrise bowl with an extra egg and avocado. When I got the bowl it looked very appealing. When I cut into the egg unfortunately it was a little overcooked so the yolk wasn't as runny as I would have liked. The dish overall was pretty bland and packed some flavor. Even with the chipotle cream which I was excited about the flavor just wasn't there. It tasted a little more like sour cream than chipotle to me. I did add some salt and Pepper to the dish which helped a bit. We ordered some of there homemade salsas hoping it would help but those too tasted very bland and packed any salt or seasonings. Maybe I was just hoping for some food with flavor but that's not their style of cooking? I did order their cafe Miel latte which was very delicious. I very much enjoyed sitting in the cute little cafe and drinking my coffee. I still give it at least 4 stars because it did have a nice little vibe inside and the staff was friendly and service was quick.
