The chilaquiles are another standout, with crispy tortilla chips topped with eggs, salsa, and sour cream. And for lunch, the tacos are a fan favorite, made with succulent pork and served on soft corn tortillas.

Overall, this family-owned Mexican restaurant is a great choice for anyone looking for a tasty and authentic Mexican meal. With friendly service, a cozy atmosphere, and delicious food, it's no wonder why it's a favorite among locals and visitors alike. And if you're a fan of Menudo, you definitely won't be...

Wether you have their green chilaquiles at the restaurant or to go, they are just as delicious. That green sauce is just everything and it's never tasted different from all the years I've had them here. The fried corn tortilla strips are perfectly drenched in green salsa that is tart, tangy and zesty and I love how they are so crunchy and not soggy. The chilaquiles are topped with queso fresco and I accompanied mine with beans and potatoes the perfect breakfast after a night out. ::wink, wink:: I opted out of eggs but my husband had his chilaquiles with red sauce (spicier), eggs over easy, carne asada, beans and potatoes, as well.

Their smashed beans taste like they are made from scratch and not canned. We absolutely love the chilaquiles here,...

I came in to try this place for the first time since I work up the street. I walked up and asked to order and was told I had to sit down and wait to have my order taken.

I will never be back and it's too bad because I love finding places close to work and home and go to them all the time when...
