“ Family owned cozy restaurant, offers both indoor and outdoor seats. Excellent homemade food, with great variety of choices. We’ve been there almost every day, and tried just about everything, from chilaquiles for breakfast, to stuffed chiles for lunch, and always been impressed by the freshness and good quality of food and service. We even loved the burgers that they recently started to offer at dinner time. Gotta go!! ”

“ Solid less touristy spot. Good variety of options at fair prices and a calm atmosphere with kind and quick service. I got a combo with chilaquiles verdes, fresh orange juice, and coffee for 90 pesos (5 USD) and it was really good. It came with an egg on top (I asked for mine scrambled) and also had a small side of beans which made for a quality protein packed vegetarian meal :) I wish I had tried this spot earlier on in my stay! ”
