"I really wanted to like this place. I went hungry. My daughter picked this place and was happy it had horchata (she liked it) The menu isn't clear for English speaking people but I ordered a soup and 3 taco set with steak & rice and beans. When I asked what was on the tacos the server told me lettuce tomato cheese so I asked her if they have street taco style she said no. (There was an entire topping station in the middle of the restaurant that she never told me about u til I asked for hot sauce) I ordered a small seafood soup but she brought me a big one then said her English wasn't good. I pointed to the small one when I ordered it. The seafood soup is delicious but tacos and rice and beans were just edible with next to no flavor. I asked for fried jalapenos but she brough a grill whole jalapeno. Service was weird. I won't be back. I went around 330 on a Thursday."

"He comido en muchos restaurants Mexicanos y he ido a Mexico, tienen la mejor variedad y similitud en sus platos, Mole negro es uno de mis favoritos, sus tortas son riquisimas, su lengua en salsa verde, pozole, Dona sagrario es una excelente cocinera, y todo su personal es atento y amable. Puedo asegurar que te venden comida realmente fresca y con confianza tambien puedo decir que son extremadamente aseados. El precio esta super bueno.."
