Description
Don't judge this spot by its cover. Stepping past the unassuming exterior reveals an attractive interior filled with rich aromas. While the kitchen handles quick takeout orders in minutes, the space invites lingering over a menu featuring a short rib quesadilla, crispy mexifries, and a light coconut flan. The staff is exceptionally welcoming, keeping pace with a soundtrack of vintage salsa and merengue.
