Description

The air inside is thick with the scent of the kitchen. This is a compact, high-demand operation with just nine tables, where traditional breakfast fare and lunch specials are paired with a recommended salsa picante. The pace is dictated by its small scale: on packed days, a single staff member might juggle seating, take-out orders, and table service. While this can stretch the wait time to order, the kitchen typically delivers the food to your table within ten minutes.
