Absolutely loved it. I ordered the sopes flight and it was delicious. . The owner, Daniel, were incredibly welcoming. Victor, who works there, was super kind and attentive, great service all around. The space itself is beautiful: colorful decorations, a huge bar in the back that’s perfect for hanging out, and even a small shop selling Mexican trinkets, which was such a fun touch. Amazing food, great vibes, and wonderful people. Can’t wait to come back!

Great new restaurant! I had the chilaquiles with carnitas and egg and it was the best!! My wife had the carnitas plate and she loved it! And the dessert!! I really don't like to order church's anywhere, but these were the best ever in ice cream, heavy cream and freshly made from dough (not defrosted and toasted like a lot of other places do it). Soooooo good! I highly recommend it!! And get a side of Calabasitas! They are truly like Mom used to make, no joke!

Recommend by a friend. Don’t let the outside deceive you, great inside atmosphere. Food was delicious, not too busy for a Sunday afternoon family dinner. Host provided great service and was very friendly. I had the Asada Sopes and Gorditas both were delicious, also tried the chilaquiles equally delicious.

Randomly came across this spot on a Sunday with three adults and a toddler in tow. The staff was so welcoming and engaging with the baby. Food was excellent - we got the carnitas by the pound for the table. Daniela treated us well, drinks we're yummy, and we will definitely come back on our next visit. Thank you!

If you haven't been yet..you should go, like today. We had the Carnitas Mac n Cheese, Chilaquiles, Chorizo Queso & Tres Leches. Everything was exceptional, including the Service & Elegant Zen Decor/Atmosphere. Definitely found a new favorite!
