“ Food presentation 5*, unexpectedly well served. You can tell the cook/owner loves their job. Food taste 4.9* I ordered a Lengua Burrito, the flavor was not what I am use to, but it was good. I ate it all. Could be a recipe from a different region in Mexico. Parking may be an issue during busy hours, but it's worth crossing the street. Definitely coming back. ”
