Description

The menu centers on traditional recipes like pork carnitas, al pastor, and slow-cooked birria brisket, filled into burritos, quesadillas, and tortas. While the kitchen aims for the flavors of a street stall, the venue functions as a casual sit-down space with outdoor seating and highly attentive service. For sides and dessert, diners point to the smokey, grill-flavored elote and a fresh churros sandwich.
