    After grocery shopping at Food-4-less my wife and I were craving for Mexican food but a good of mine recommend to go this great Mexican restaurant not that far from Food-4-less. The restaurant is in a small shopping with limted parking,we couldn't wait to try out the food. We step on the restaurant right away we saw the menu display serving Mexican food and hamburgers. I was thinking of chili renello then we ask the cashier they ran out but they making more but it going to take a while. I decided to order the flautas plate and my wife order the torta with a taco plate. The restaurant feel like you are in Mexico with flat screen t.v. watching the Fubol or soccer. They brought our meal it looks really good. I took a bite of the flautas it was really good it have good flavors with the guacamole add more flavors that good to my mouth. The rice is amazing good great flavors I really enjoy it and bean great flavors also really enjoy my meal. My wife enjoy her torta and taco great flavor. Overall the food is really good and service is good we need to come back again to try the chili renello.

    Chile Relleno no exactly what i expected , NO SAUCE ! I am pissed , felt like going back and saying something but it's their style and my fault for not checking before I ordered .

    Parking: Limited and considering that it shares the lot with other establishments, may become difficult to find parking during peak hours. Food: I ordered an Asada burrito to go along with a large limón agua fresca. The meat was tender and you could taste the flavors within the burrito. I recommend complimenting the burrito with their red sauce. The portion if the burrito is very generous. Service: The cashier seemed agitated about something. She spoke heavy spanish so if you're not fluent dont be discouraged, the food is worth it. Service is a big key in coming back for me and the cooks made it all the better. They were kinder and considerate than my experience with the cashier. Price: Everything, for the most part, was under $10 so if you're on a budget this place may be ideal considering you'll receive generous portions.

    Stayed here briefly, food was HOT and delicious. Their hot sauce kicks butt, had me coughing as I took a swig of it thinking its just salsa for several chips served with the carnitas tacos. Staff is friendly, restaurant and bathroom ilwere clean and speed of service was on point. I was satisfied.

    Hefty helping of the best nachos ever.

    I was blown away by how good the food tastes at this restaurant. Each bite was better than the previous one. It was quite remarkable.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate.
