Description
Located slightly off the beaten path, this quiet, modestly appointed spot serves up dishes at reasonable prices. The kitchen turns out orders quickly—often within ten minutes—focusing on details like crisp-seared yet tender meats for the carnitas plates and carne asada tacos. To drink, there are house horchatas and Boing juices imported from Mexico. While the service is typically attentive and accommodating to specific cooking requests, experiences can occasionally vary when it comes to portion sizes and presentation.
