Dropped by on a Monday evening at around 5:30pm for dinner. Calm, friendly vibes. Quick and pleasant service. The food here always hits the spot, especially the handmade tortillas. Real authentic. 10/10. Arriba Michoacán vale.

The Menudo here is hands down the best Menudo I have ever had at a restaurant. Wow it's so delicious I will definitely be returning. It's a small restaurant definitely a mom and pop, but it doesn't matter it's clean and the Menudo taste authentic home made 100%!! And the tortillas that came with the menudo are hand made fresh. I am excited to have found this little place.

One cannot go and not have their menudo, I'm not big on menudo but this menudo is like no other menudo, it's just perfect, fresh, tasty, you won't have to add anything other than the condiments . The service is friendly and fast considering the place is very small and packed all the way out the door, a whole lot of people come in here, especially on the weekends . The food is home made style as if my own mother had cooked it, I love their tacos dorados de papa, their costillas de puerco en chile rojo as to die for , the tortillas are hand made , this place is an absolute gem!!!

Best hole in the wall spot I've found in a while. The food is amazing and taste really authentic. If you're not feeling fast food and want a good home made meal for a very good price, stop here.

This place is practically un-noticeable and it is not very comfortable; however, the food is amazing!!! I commented to a co-worker that I was tired of eating the same ole thing for lunch. My co-workers recommended this place to me and I had the "Albondigas Soup" . It is the best I have ever had, and I highly recommend the soup as it was fabulous. The prices are fair and the service is good.
