Just visited for the first time in quite a while. I ordered a pastrami sandwich which came with some potato salad. The meat which was not a generous portion looked nothing like pastrami. We told the person who came out to discuss the sandwich that this meat looked like ham. She assured us it was pastrami and having had cold cuts all over North America it was definitely not going to pass for pastrami. She said you cannot get the pastrami that you get up north here in Mexico. Maybe that might be true if buying in a large quantity but my girlfriend bought some packaged stuff at Super Lake that was the real deal.

Upon arrival, my partner’s family and I walked in and sat at the garden under an umbrella.

The owner, Lupita has been in business for 23 years made her rounds to speak to every table and very attentive to all the customer's needs. We can...

The meal was good along with the excellent service. I normally do not order desert, but I heard they have very good coconut cream pie and it was!!! The manager came by the table to ask if we were pleased I told her yes and that the pie was delicious, and asked if they made a Southern Pecan Pie, and she said yes we do. We continued to eat, just finishing she came back to the table with a small piece of Pecan Pie. She said here is a compliment piece, hope you enjoy it. Leaving I went inside to thank her and let her know that piece of pie was equally as good, and I would be...
