    Diner atmosphere & diner prices. Perfect horchata. Delicious salsa. Loved the Especial Dinner: skirt steak on a bed of cheese quesadillas with rice, beans, avocado, & tangy tomato sauce. Yum :)

    This place is good I love their tortas de carne azada con pico de gallo. Have it with a side of tres leches cake. The food here is very familiar, taste like your own mom cooked it.

    Vegan tacos! The prices have gone up a little but they're still very reasonable. Try the soy carne asada and al pastor.

    Since you like dining here...try visiting the new Mexican Cafe & Restaurant offering healthy non-fat and veggie opions @ 2500 S. Christiana - you're so close by!

    the soy tacos here are really great, even for the carnivorous folks. the taco de soya al pastor is definitely worth a try and for $1.35 you can't go wrong.

    I hate that they don't offer chips and salsa. Whatever you do, don't get their guacamole. Tastes funky.

    Best soy Mexican food- tostadas de ceviche are the best! Also try los tacos de chile relleno, gorditas de frijoles y queso.
