“ Busy lunch spot. Really enjoyed the skirt steak. Handmade tortillas were a great touch. Service was friendly and the surrounding area was cool. ”
“ Delicious! I had the chicken enchiladas. I asked for both sauces, red and green. “Divorciados” I honestly had to force myself try other places because I could not stop thinking about how good these enchiladas were. Service was prompt and friendly. Coffee was fresh and yummy. ”
“ It is packed and always people waiting for a table but it is a good sign. The wait is not terrible and worth it. Prices are super affordable, good selection, and the portions are HUGE. Great friendly service from all the workers. Food comes out quick and fresh. Fresh juices! Some of the best I had in cdmx ”
“ We stayed at an Airbnb in front of this restaurant so naturally we had to check it out. We went here for brunch and expected to go in for a quick bite only to end up ordering too much lol. The food quality was really solid and the portions were very generous for the price. The service was very quick and the waitress made a lot of effort to practice her English with us. She gave us recommendations and tried to accommodate us the best she could. I would definitely recommend this spot for lunch! ”
“ Came by on a Saturday at 11 am after walking around, looking for a breakfast spot nearby, with no success. This restaurant was actually our back up plan since we saw it was open and it was right across the street from our hotel. We ended up back here when we couldn't find anything else, but I'm glad that we did. To start, the three of us shared two of the gorditas. I know we ordered two different ones but I can't remember what. It wasn't that memorable. I was actually looking to try the pozole but unfortunately, they only serve it on Thursdays and Fridays. I ended up getting the chicken soup, since I wanted something warm and comforting, and it did not disappoint. It was flavorful, hearty, and just what I was looking for. My husband had the flautas (1 chicken, 1 beef, 1 potato). It was okay - maybe I just don't love flautas. The small side salad it came with looked a bit off. We also ordered some fresh juices, which were really good. I would say that if you're not in the mood for anything heavy, just order some juice and the chicken soup, and you have yourself a perfect meal. ”
