Fun little local restaurant with very good food. We went on a Tuesday evening, about 6:00 p.m. The restaurant was quiet and the young woman working the counter alone was very nice. Excellent chicken mole and fried pork steak, good fajitas and fried chicken as well. Nice little neighborhood find off the beaten path.

Impossibly cheap and delicious. Tried their pozole, caldo de pollo, and steak, and they were all fresh and delicious (especially so for the soups).

¡What a GREAT find! The "Plate of the Day" was only 45 pesos and it included a regular size natural water. I ordered the Albondigas and it was served with beans, rice and tortillas. It was ALMOST as good as my grandmother's In addition the their Menu, they will make you a FRESH natural juice: lemon, watermelon, pineapple... (fruits that are in season). The location is fantastic because its covered and offers a lot of shade. They are closed on Sunday but open Monday to Saturday 9am to 9pm. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner.
