" The atmosphere was intimate yet lively, making it a great spot for a date or dinner with friends. I loved trying their famous chavocho fries, served hot and crispy. It was nice to see the kitchen staff working hard and being meticulous about food preparation, which made the experience feel more authentic. Overall, I had a great time and would recommend this place to others looking for a delicious meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was decent, but honestly, I expected more based on the high ratings. The chicken enchiladas lacked flavor compared to what I've had at other places. The service was average, nothing exceptional. The place itself is modest, with a homely atmosphere which you'd hope corresponds with delicious food—but sometimes it didn’t for me. I think I’ll come back to try their tacos as I hear they're a highlight. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's the kind of place that feels like home. The tacos here never disappoint! The freshness of the ingredients and the skillful preparation show through in every bite. The atmosphere is relaxed, great for a weekend brunch or a quick dinner. Just beware that it can get crowded since everyone knows how good this place is. The only downside was a bit of a wait during peak hours, but the food is more than worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" When you walk in, the smell of cooking hits you, and you know you're in for a treat! The tacos al pastor were beautifully grilled and had a great smoky flavor. Alongside my meal, I tried their handmade tortillas, which were excellent. The friendly staff added to the experience; they seemed genuinely happy to serve. A minor downside was that it got quite loud during dinner service, but it only added to the lively atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yes, yes, yes! That's how I feel about this place. The smell alone when you walk in just draws you in. The staff was welcoming, and the ambiance was casual yet vibrant. I loved the enchiladas de mole! The flavors were rich, and the homemade tortillas made it ten times better. I had a great time eating here and chatting with the staff. If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here after recommendations from friends, and while the menudo was decent, I was expecting a bit more. The handmade tortillas were excellent, but my overall dish felt like it could have been prepared with a bit more care. The friendliness of the staff is commendable, but the service was slow, especially on a busy Saturday night. I think I'll stick to other menu items next time to give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my expectations high for this restaurant, but they fell a bit short during my last visit. The food was decent, but it lacked the explosive flavors I was seeking. I had a couple of carne asada tacos, and while they were fine, the meat could have been grilled better. However, the service was attentive, and I appreciated that the staff checked in on us regularly. " (*Curated Review*)
