I just went here with my family for the first time. This is a typical hole in the wall, "mom and pop" authentic Mexican restaurant. The ambiance in my opinion is not pleasant, but the food makes up for all of it. We all tried the barbacoa de Borrego, which is basically lamb cooked through vapor alongside a consome, which is a very delicious broth. They then bring freshly chopped cilantro and onion to add to your consome, along with lemon and various chile sauces.

The atmosphere made us feel like we were family. I highly recommend this restaurant...

We waited 20 minutes until the waitress noticed us again and asked if our order had been taken already. I told her no one has come back to ask us our order. I normally I would have waited out 10 minutes before walking out but because my husband had his mind set on the barbacoa I stayed. I will definitely not come back again. It does not matter if the food is good. I am sure there are other places who have better food and great service. The waitresses here never come back to check if you need anything after the initial service. No sign of...
