    This tiny hole in the wall is a true asset to downtown Goshen. The staff is friendly and fast, the prices are dirt cheap, and the food is authentic, fresh and great tasting. My wife had never had their tamales, so we stopped in a tad late at 2:30, they were sold out, but more were to be ready in 20 minutes or so. That was ok we were on our bikes and after five miles and no breakfast we were hangry, so we tried something else. We had chicken tacos, a steak torta.. both with beans and rice, and chips n' salsa. The beans and the rice were outstanding! My wife mentioned the chicken tacos were the beat she has had. They used grilled chicken, and not some slow cooker shredded chicken garbage we have grown to expect. My torta was good, the steak was good, but I should have stuck with cow tongue, because I imagine it is amazing like everything else. We had water but they have the usual Mexican favorites along with glass bottle cokes. Our entire meal was 12 bucks, you just can't go wrong here.

    Steak (Asada) Torta! A delicious Mexican sandwich w/ lettuce, melted cheese, avocado, and mayo. You can't get Tortas everywhere!

    Probably the best torta I've had in my entire life. Great little restaurant to stop in for a quick bite to eat.
