    Great family run restaurant. Classic traditional food from central Mexico. You'll be pleasantly surprised to discover what 'real' Mexican food tastes like! Come early and don't hurry, just savor it.

    Good value. Pathway support local youth programs. Come early at busy time because of the limited seating

    I've seen the family handmade tamales being dropped off a couple times. Get one. You won't be sorry. My fav is the chicken!

    Make sure you try the orange sauce! It's creamy & spicy, like a habanero sauce.

    Try the orange sauce, it's great. I believe it's a habanero sauce

    can the person who created this spot correct the map? It's a block north, not at Mariposa.
