The meal was good, but there wasn’t anything memorable compared to the other restaurant options surrounding this that have more items, sauces and drinks as a variety. The meat is prepared well. I’d imagine just getting the food to go as your best option for this place. The atmosphere is only ok. The menu has items with incorrect prices. At least the chips and salsa were mixed with the guacamole and chips prices. I think as a specialty items place this is great, but there’s great Barbacoa a minute away. As a family place, maybe not so much a place I’d bring my kids back to. Our server didn’t ask what sauces or meats we wanted on our items we ordered. I will come back to try breakfast, but I couldn’t see myself coming back others with tons of options only seconds or a minute away that are all authentic for the East side area.

The best roast lamb consommé & Barbicoa in Tacoma area and Oaxacan style tamales wrapped in banana leaves with delicate masa dough & can choose chicken & mole, the real deal & so moist unlike others I have had in corn husks . The cafe is rustic & only open 3/4 days a week & often has hand lettered sign, feel like I am in Oaxaca eating the large lamb broth consommé with garbanzos & vegetables & lamb barbicoa cooked in a brick lined pit with banana leaves— & the homemade flan, oh my! Family operated, Louis & Ruth & a sister in law cooks the flan in her home & you are lucky if any is left by noon on weekends. Did I mention the homemade Mexican hot chocolate made in the chocolate pitcher. & wooden tool like in Oaxaca? And the fruit Frescas made in the summer— watermelon! I am ordering dozen Tamales for pickup Christmas Eve & a large 10 inch Flan & serving homemade salad with arugula & sliced apple with walnuts & blue cheese & a light dressing of olive oil & Dijon mustard & lemon.

Delicious food served up in this bare bones spot. We had the lamb and tripe tacos and both were amazing. The lamb was especially good. The jamaica was also tasty and refreshing. The service was super friendly and helpful especially since this was our first time. Will be back for more tacos and to try the consume!

The food was good but the lady who served us was the sweetest. I hadn’t had that kind of costumer service in a very long time. The pozole and chicharrones were delicious, the sauces, the salsa, everything was just perfect. 10/10 we’re going back definitely!

So delicious, everything fresh and homemade, from the aguas frescas to the barbacoa! Enchiladas, soups, flautas, nachos, everything has been so good, every time! They do beef barbacoa, which is best when you get it with the consommé, which comes with garbanzos y arroz (chickpeas & rice!)
There’s also a fruit vendor outside on Sundays, with a sweet little selection of Mexican goods at the peak of ripeness. Support small! And do yourself a favor, check ’em out!

The food is delicious. The quality is good.
I went today and was disappointed to find they only have 4 options. The menu & photos are misleading on apple maps and google. Online it shows pictures of so much more.
The price is high. & Their to-go option is inconvenient & unorganized; especially because they missed items in a simple barbacoa & consomé order.
Also the restaurant is located in a sketchy side of town.
Really want to show my support, but I recommend they look at their business in the customers perspective. Needs attention to detail.

We get barbacoa all the time from here! Saturdays and Sundays is when they sell it, freeesh! Definitely one of the best places around the area. Kind of pricey, but the meat is always good

The lady was very good to my cousin and I, gave us free food for we were waiting kn our family to get there. The service, great. The food, loved it. The only thing about it is that there is a Crack on a certain window, and you can feel the cold wind blowing on your back. It didn’t bother me whatsoever, however, if you get cold easily, you will feel it. Also, the main door keeps on staying open.
