This place is a little restaurant serving delicious ready to eat food! They serve $10 plates that come with a lot of food! Very good deal! You can definitely save some for later! Rice and beans with your choice of meat. Today I had Barbacoa - Mexican barbecue and Huevos Rancheros - cooked eggs in red sauce. The cooks and cashiers were very friendly, smiling and happy to see me! It is a small place with a warm home and family feel. The best part also was the cooked to order fresh homemade tortillas!!! They have a topping bar with cilantro, onions, limes and more. They also serve fresh agua frescas - fresh fruit water drinks in different flavors. They have sodas and waters in the fridge and also sell fresh containers of different types of salsas and pico de gallo. Overall it was a very friendly and nice experience! Thank you!
