    Interior is a little dated, but the service was really good. For a basic breakfast it's not bad, everything was average, nothing specifically worth remembering. I will say they offer a great selection of authentic Guatemalan cuisine.

    Tamale

    The food was amazing! The service was perfect. We got the chicken tamale for an appetizer, taste so good. My main dish was the Ribeye Skillet with pumpkin pancakes on the side. The skillet was cooked perfectly on a hot skillet plate. Pancakes from scratch! Perfect cozy little restaurant in Plano. First time here and I'm 100% coming back to try another dish. Easily will be the go to brunch spot.

    Veggie skillet

    Got the veggie skillet, sooo delicious, portions are generous, not idea what brand of coffee they use but the aroma and flavor so rich and creamy

    Tamal Con Elote
    Steven J.

    This place is not marketed properly. It's marketed as a breakfast/brunch spot but it's more like a Mexican Restaurant that happens to serve food at breakfast time. The atmosphere was not uplifting like a breakfast spot should be, it was drab and empty (there were hardly any other patrons dining). The service was friendly but that's about the only good thing here. The food was not very good. My Dad thought his Breakfast Tacos were just okay. My Tamal Con Elote was incredibly dry and bland (no filling or sauce, just a bland and cold queso dip on the side). This place doesn't even serve Iced Coffee or Dairy-Free Options. Considering I had to go to Scooters' afterwards to grab a coffee, and I left starving, I won't be back.

    Café

    Lilys was SO delicious. We tried their tamale, the steak skillet, carne con huevos, and the pumpkin pancakes (not pictured). Everything had so much flavor, served fresh.The cafe is also very cute inside. Will definitely be back.

    Goodness I.

    I love this place and the food is so good! It's very unassuming inside and out. I'd come back for sure. First time I came here I had breakfast food and this time I chose other items.

    West Coast Benedict. Fantastic.
    Melissa O.

    After the owner replied to me imploring me to give them another try, I returned. Twice! Still excellent food. I once again had the plate with Guatemalan chorizo with peppers and onions, queso fresco, Guatemalan cream, black beans, homemade tortillas, eggs, and avocado. Amazing. I also tried the Mexican style chorizo and eggs, black beans, with potatoes requested crispy and YES they did them right. Mom tried a Very Berry Cinnamon French Toast combo (yum) and a West Coast Benedict - excellent benedict sauce and gorgeous avocado and eggs. Everything so good. And these other two times the service was outstanding. No issues with wait times, attentiveness, or forgetting what we needed. This is definitely going to be a regular brunch spot with mom.

    Chicken enchiladas
    David T.

    The very best chicken enchiladas I have ever had. And believe me, I've had a lot. Try it. With a Dos XX Amber.

    Tried it for the first time and it happens to be the grand re-opening. We were interested in the Guatemalan dishes. We really enjoyed the plantains and the beans. The amount of sausage was surprisingly small. But overall the food was good and eaten. Inside is new and clean.

    Huge menu with tons of selections. Recommend the Breakfast and brunch! Kind of a hidden gem - but give it a try! Open 6 am to 3 pm.

    Wow this place is legit! The food is so good and authentic. I have been looking for tacos like this…read morebeing new to the area. Some standouts are the pastor. The quesa birria was good but I did find the beef itself a bit tough. Otherwise the flavor and taste are good and the consommé was one of the better ones I've had. It even comes with some pieces of meat and chickpeas which is nice. I definitely want to go back and try more things. Do note that the tacos are more like street tacos so they are pretty small which might be justified by the low price!

    This restaurant was recommended to us by our Lyft driver who swore up and down that this was the…read morebest taco joint in the area. Overall, I think the tacos were good, but they were a bit greasier and saltier than the other traditional taco places I love. Ambiance: The restaurant is a casual counter order place. Once you order the staff will bring the food to you. There were plenty of tables. Food: The menu was pretty expansive and inexpensive. They had tacos (over 7 kinds), tortas, tostadas, gorditas, and gringas. I ordered 5 carne asada fajita tacos for myself. These tacos were TINY. I can probably eat like 8 if I were super hungry. I love my tacos with a splash of lemon, and some cilantro and onion paired with them. The onion and cilantro were freshly chopped and fresh. Service: The service was quick and the staff were nice.
