    A wonderful little place, located right next to a small park. The food was great and wait staff was very attentive. Will be going there again.

    Are you here for brunch? You have to order the "Desayuno del Patrón" and ask for tortillas (not toasts, never!). Why? Because these are handmade! The flavor is at its best.

    I can eat the chips and salsas all day but the guacamoles are not to be missed. And I haven't even started on dinner yet.

    Bad rate because: Americans have a bad taste for Mexican cuisine. This is not a TacoBell-TexMex restaurant, this is the authentic stuff. This is the closest to the MexCity flavors.
