Amazing spot. Can definitely recommend the dishes I ordered - chicken soup, steak taco, and the flan. Awesome stuff

I was in Mexico City for a week and walked by this restaurant countless times. What drew my attention was the employee standing next to a large ball of masa and a comal making fresh tortillas to order. This establishment reminded me of food prepared in my home state of Michoacán. I made it a goal to pay a visit before leaving back home. We made this our last stop before heading to the airport and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the serve was spectacular! 10/10 recommended for anyone looking for a cozy, casual and inviting place to try some authentic home-style Mexican food

We stayed at an Airbnb in front of this restaurant so naturally we had to check it out. We went here for brunch and expected to go in for a quick bite only to end up ordering too much lol. The food quality was really solid and the portions were very generous for the price. The service was very quick and the waitress made a lot of effort to practice her English with us. She gave us recommendations and tried to accommodate us the best she could. I would definitely recommend this spot for lunch!

My first time here. My friends asked me before if I love Mexican food. Dude of course. I'm Mexican and I can eat tacos every day in different presentation of course. So , dishes are delicious. You have to eat "Pozole de cabeza", it's the best that I've ever eaten. Dishes and drinks are cheap. Don't forget to drink fruits beverages.

Busy lunch spot. Really enjoyed the skirt steak. Handmade tortillas were a great touch. Service was friendly and the surrounding area was cool.

I tried the green chilaquiles with scrambled eggs as well as the flautas, and they were both amazing. Their coffee is great too.

Delicious! I had the chicken enchiladas. I asked for both sauces, red and green. “Divorciados” I honestly had to force myself try other places because I could not stop thinking about how good these enchiladas were. Service was prompt and friendly. Coffee was fresh and yummy.
