I visited this restaurant on a Friday night and the experience was delightful. The atmosphere is definitely a cozy hole-in-the-wall small business and the server was very welcoming.

The positive notes was the carne asada and homemade tortillas contrast with the limited salsa options, as only bottled hot sauces were available. The atmosphere and service were acceptable, but improvements in the authenticity and execution of certain signature dishes would enhance the overall...
