This may appear as a little hole in the wall from the outside but once you walk in, you will not be disappointed! Parking is a bit of a challenge but the hostess was kind enough to put some quarters on my tab, as I didn’t have any change & the meters only take coins! Stopped here for lunch & was very pleasantly surprised. Wait staff was great, food was very good & fresh. Will be back!

Service was really great! Kind waitresses who would come by every so often to check up on how the food was and if we needed anything else. As per the food, it wasn’t phenomenal but it was okay. Someone in my party (4) really enjoyed the ceviche. The way they make their beans and rice were good in general.

My Ecuadorean hair dresser recommended this spot, and my first visit proved to be delicious and a good value. It’s a small spot in a business district, and seems to be a clean, family run operation that can serve about 30 people at a time. My chicken Mole burrito was yummy: moist white meat wrapped in tortilla drenched in a delicious sweet and deeply satisfying mole. The rice and beans that came with looked kind of ordinary, but proved to be delicious and classic. The chips were fresh and crisp, and the salsa was home made, tasty. with a little spicy kick. And the chipotle sauce that I asked for was even better. The house margarita was fine, particularly in light of it’s reasonable price of $6. I’m coming back!

Bad service. The waitress didn’t greet us and Didn’t take our drink orders for 30 min sitting there waiting and then took forever to bring the drinks out. Also took another long time to come take our food order. The food was so plain there was no seasoning no salt I got steak, chicken and Al pastor tacos . My husband ordered carne asada medium they brought it out super well done it was dry. Overall DO NOT RECOMMEND.
