Description
This quiet spot focuses on traditional flavors with standout details, from creamy queso fundido with chorizo to birria tacos dipped in a rich, slightly spicy consommé. The menu extends to fresh-bread tortas, ceviche tostadas, and well-balanced margaritas. It has the easygoing feel of a local hangout, though keep in mind that prices run slightly high for everyday staples like the burritos.
