Had a great chilequiles here with skirt steak. Meat was very tender. I had the Rojo, and it was actually spicy. Would recommend. Was visiting a relative in the area and he said this was the place to go for a good Mexican breakfast. I will definitely return!
Just an FYI: The staff was nice, but it can get busy, so you may need to do a little wave to get their attention, unfortunately.

Trying to figure out where to have breakfast today. My husband told me about this spot. He said it was small but had good chilaquiles.
Decided to go, yes the place is small 4 tables and the rest were bar seating. The service is attentive fast and friendly. But the food Amazing we both ordered the Huevos divorciados with meat. The meat was tender, eggs just how I wanted over medium the beans were delicious and I-don’t like restaurant beans but I finished everything. 15.99 + 1.00(egg pandemic)+coffee 2.99×2= about $45 with tax.
Hands down great breakfast spot. Its perfect small and cozy and amazing food! Will definitely come again and again. We actually already know what we’re going to order next time we come Give this place a try
Whoever says otherwise probably had a bad day before coming here.

So this is a classic quick order diner. 5 stars, when judged by the standard of a quick order place. It’s exactly what you expect at a reasonable price point. You can watch them cook, which is fun, and they are fast. Note there is a $1.00 upcharge as of May 2025 for any eggs.

Let me start with the good stuff: the food. It’s fantastic! I had the chilaquiles with salsa verde and steak—crisp chips, a salsa with just the right kick, and solid portion sizes. Now, the downside: the place is tiny! When it’s busy, there’s nowhere to wait except standing along the wall. I can’t knock them too hard for that, though—it’s not like they can expand the building. If you’re after a classic greasy spoon vibe and don’t mind a wait during peak times, the food makes it worth your while.

This quaint little diner has refused to inflate its prices, even with the current economic swing. You can still eat here for under $20 and have a great meal. The coffee is wonderful and the omelette was delicious. They don’t skimp either. Fresh food, great price, what more could you ask for.

30th of May, 2024, I came in with a close friend to dine in for the very first time. Born and raised around the local area, it was time to try it out.
If you’re looking for an authentic, cozy and friendly environment to eat — look no further and drop by! The diner itself is extremely small with a long counter and a few tables from within. Despite the small cleanliness of the old diner, I enjoyed my stay.
I ordered a simple breakfast plate with two pancakes, hash-browns, sausages and scrambled eggs with American cheese. Can’t forget the coffee! It was very cozy, vibrant atmosphere and friendly workers who greet you with a smile.
The food is cooked in front of you, if seated in the front, and it was amazing to watch the cook do its magic. Waitress has a friendly demeanor, jokes and knowledgeable to what to try.
The price of it all is fairly reasonable for its portion size foods!
They do have a bathroom accesible.
Would definitely come again!

Beans and salsa are very watery. They overcharge people for drinks they never order. When I called to ask why I was charged for 2 drinks. The owner had an attitude said she doesn’t go table to table to look at everyone’s order which I didn’t expect her to do. The waitresses need to make sure they write down the correct drinks before over charging people. I won’t be back. Food not good really good salsa needed something tasted very bland.
I don’t recommend this place .

I absolutely love this place but I can’t give it 5 stars because there’s been times that I go and there’s no seating. It can get super busy and I’ve had to walk out on more then 1 occasion. Great food and very friendly staff. Just needs more space!
