It was reasonably busy, but not so crowded that we couldn't get served in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered street tacos, one of their dinner plates, and a tamale-- I think a green tamale.

If I made my own tamales, I would want them to taste like their tamales.

After a bunch of runaround, I ended up getting an order that was not my original order, incomplete. Someone told me they wouldn't charge me for the second meal. I said why would I pay for a second meal when I didn't get my first. The manager told the people upfront to give me a discount. When I asked about that, the girl said well it would only be a couple dollars. So 45 minutes after arriving, I get a wrong and incomplete order, completely different that what I ordered originally. No discount or refund. Adding this: I tried to phone in a to go order but was sent to a voicemail saying they were busy and to leave a message. That's why I went in person to order. When I entered, there were 4 employees standing behind the register area, talking and on their phones. Altogether a miserable experience.

MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO STOP HERE!…read more We walked in to get a little coffee and after being greeted by the gentlemen at the front and seeing the young lady in the back preparing some new bakery items I knew this was the place. We ordered some pastries and coffee. We loved them so much we got some more to go so we can enjoy later in the day in our hotel. Absolutely among best home made fresh bakery items I have had. Stop by and support!

Service was friendly even though I had to say three different times I wanted an iced latte. Lol. My iced vanilla latte ($5.75) was good. I needed to stir it quite often to maintain a consistent taste, though. A bakery called Goodies Go Last also shares space with this little shop. All items are charged on one ticket. They also had an array of souvenirs. Cash or plastic was accepted. Plenty of parking.

Since I eat so small meals, half was left, but with 2.5-3 hr drive home, I chose to say "it was great but time in the car unrefrigerated probably not a good idea." Cute Gift shop and diner.

Me and wife split chicken tacos and some special Mexican plate with a rellaño tamale and enchiladas. I was very disappointed with taste. Zero flavor from the chicken tacos and the beef enchilada was tasteless. The beans and rice were also disappointing. The only good thing I had was the guacamole with the chips and salsa. Salsa was okay. I wouldn't come back and get same thing. I did try my son's meat lovers pizza and it was much better than the Mexican food. Toppings were piled on pizza.

There were 2 other couples in there with us and all the waiters/ waitresses just sat in this booth and didn't check on us at all, I had to literally get up to go get them twice. We sat for like 10 minutes before she brought us menus and waited another 10 for her to even come get our drink order. Then food came and she didn't ask us anything. We had to go ask for what we needed after I sat there for over 5 minutes and my food got cold. But if you don't care how crappy the service is, I'd definitely recommend for the food!!

The frap was fine but I literally only took about three drinks of the matcha and it was gone because the cup was completely full of ice.
