They also have pancita and moronga. While the lamb was tender, it was just way too game-y in taste for us. The generous cup of consommé had an interested flavor to it, and wasn't really needed. However, the star is their homemade/handmade tortillas - these were probably one of the best tortillas we've ever had! Staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the line does build up. I love that they are open early in the morning, but they do take some time in setting up, so try to get there about 20+ minutes past their stated opening time. Communal tables are set up, so you can definitely enjoy before you go on your way; we saw a lot of patrons getting their orders to go.
