    Before even arriving I was already very pleased with their service over the phone, but the food itself is hands down amazing!! Feels like your grandma cooked with much love. Their chicken stew is phenomenal, but the oxtail hands down the best !

    Lots to choose from & can’t go wrong with this place. The steak torta was not bad it’s was tasty although I did at the end get some fatty pieces which was a bummer. The chicken tacos were so good well seasoned & very delicious. El montañero plate was not bad good portion & was pretty filling. Will def come back to try the pupusas & tamales.
