Food was very flavorful. We ordered the mole chilaquiles, pipián chilaquiles, huevos en salsa and pancakes. The mole chilaquiles had a great balance between spicy and sweet, the pipián chilaquiles were rich and savory. The cecina was perfectly cooked. The pancakes did not need any syrup since they are drizzled in lechera. The huevos en salsa were also a hit. The rice and beans were delicious!
We also ordered cafe de olla but I was not impressed. The spices were a bit overpowering.
I definitely recommend coming in and trying it out.

This was my second time here and both times was amazing. The service is top tier and the food is the best, I’ve never found a restaurant where I enjoyed the mole but it’s my favorite thing to order here. We also got the arroz con leche de fresa but I didn’t get the chance to take the picture before we finished it. Highly recommend this place.

The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Every dish was well-seasoned, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and the balance of flavors made each bite enjoyable. Portions were generous, presentation was great, and the overall experience was very satisfying. Definitely a place worth coming back to! Yum!

The best chilaquiles. I went with my mom since she saw it on Tiktok. Parking wasn’t bad and it wasn’t that busy. Price was reasonable and the servers were lovely. Will go again

I came here for brunch and had THE BEST mini pancakes and wings!! Wings were the best I ever had — my personal favorites were the lemon pepper and Asian spice! Guajillo wings were also great. Will be coming back soon

Wow! Authentic, homemade quality dishes. We tried the guajillo chilaquiles, green chilaquiles, costillas, huevo con chorizo, mini pancakes, and huaxmole.
The Huaxmole (traditional pre Hispanic beef stew) blew my mind! All the other dishes were also delicious and nicely seasoned. This is a family friendly restaurant and the staff is great.
I can’t wait to go back to try more dishes.
Note: Cash only since they just opened. Be prepared!
