Had the pork plate and the food was perfect. Rice had great flavor and the pork was delicious. It had a slight kick but everything we ate had perfect flavoring!!! Next time I will try the surprise plate option…

Fantastic! I can’t write enough about how incredible the food is, the vibe feels like home and the staff (owners!) know everyone by name. We are travelling from Ontario Canada and were blown away by the food and accommodations to our dietary restrictions. I highly suggest you order the surprise player and don’t skip the coffee (seriously!).

The food tastes like “mom’s home cooked meal”. The flavors are rich and fresh! My favorite was the sweet potato carrot soup. The best part about this place is the service. The ladies here are so kind and personable and even better, food comes out fast. 10/10 would recommend coming here.

That was a new experience for us : going downtown to find the restaurant, eating the girl’s recommendations, and trying new foods.. We had mole chicken and ranch chicken bowls. Both delicious!

For those that loved cafe Poca Cosa – this place is from the same family. Went for breakfast and it was wonderful. Staff is so nice and helpful. Food amazing!

We came to the little one on Friday morning at 8:40 am. It wasn’t too crowded but it looks nice and clean even though it is not a huge restaurant. Lots of nice tropical plants to make it feel like you’re in tropical Mexico. On the door it says $CASH ONLY. Ok so I don’t normally carry cash in my wallet but we went in anyway. The menu offers many vegetarian and a couple vegan options. Wow. I’m starting to like this place not because I’m one but maybe because they make healthier foods for a change. We ordered the Breakfast combination plate and the Huevos Poblano. After ordering I walked went across the street (thank God there was Wells Fargo) to try to get cash but it’s still closed! Went back to the little one and then they served the food. Wow I’m impressed it seems so simple but it tasted pretty good. Salad for breakfast? I ate it with the special dressing provided on each table! The green Chile tamales is very good, slightly sweet, don’t need dessert after that! The Chile rellenos is also very good and flavorful. It’s also the little touches that make it different line the freshly cut pineapple with the skin still intact. I’m usually nauseated after eating out because restaurant food are usually greasy and fried; the chef at other restaurants usually uses tons of oil, but not this time! I feel great after eating, the portions are just right, didn’t feel like I overate, even the beans are not refried with oily bacon grease. After eating, I had to make my trip out to wells Fargo again to get cash. I would give the little one a 4 star review for being inconvenient and making me go across the street for cash but I’m so impressed with the food and the overall atmosphere of the place that I’m going to award a 5 star! Will be back.

We’ve been wanting to come here for a few years and made it.. Had barbacoa and huevos con muchaca and it was so good. Daughter had rice and beans and we brought those home to eat for breakfast tomorrow.

Fantastic food with options for almost any diet. The Surprise plate is always fun and the three of us each got to try different menu items. The staff is awesome and welcoming. Definitely a winner!

Truly fantastic all around – from the service to the atmosphere to the outstanding food! I recommend ordering the Surprise Plato, with guidance (for instance, my friend doesn’t eat pork, and I preferred lighter on the meat).

Unfortunately the little one was disappointing. Expensive place serving some of the smallest portions I’ve seen in similar Mexican restaurants. The mismatch between price and food is not only the amount but also the quality. I ordered mole con pollo and it was probably the blandest mole I have ever tried in my life. The salad and beans you get as sides make up most of the dish, and I only got two tortillas, which by the way were the smallest tortillas I have ever seen. I left hungry, when for the same amount of money at Mi Nidito or El Antojo Poblano I always leave with a box of delicious left overs. I won’t be going back
