Description

Beyond the staples, the kitchen turns out made-to-order guacamole and chips alongside cups of horchata. Dishes are plated with unexpected care, matching a decorated interior that feels more deliberate than a typical counter joint. Portions are generous, particularly the Torta de Bistec de Milanesa. While the service is friendly and respectful, keep in mind that checkout comes with a default 22% tip screen, and the quesadillas lean non-traditional.
