Description

The kitchen prepares tamales made the traditional way, with options ranging from chicken Mole Poblano and Salsa Verde to Rajas Con Queso, alongside three vegetarian tamales. The steamed parcels are moist and generously filled. For sandwiches, the Tinga Torta layers chicken with jalapeños and a flavorful sauce, alongside longaniza options. House drinks like Agua de Horchata and Agua de Jamaica round out the menu. Because of the tiny indoor space, this is primarily a grab-and-go setup, though a single outdoor table offers a spot to sit.
