This place is adorable and the food is absolutely incredible. It has considerable vegetarian/ vegan options too. I had some of a shrimp burrito and- WOW! It was spectacular. I also had the mushroom tacos, and they were some of the best and most filling vegetarian tacos I've ever had. The person at the counter was very friendly, even though we came in for takeout 25 min before closing. I will be back.

Lots of flavor in the food. The "pico de gallo" had fresh tomatoes and serranos served with homemade chips, nothing to do with the bland fast food version. I had one of the best "mole de Puebla" chicken here. Even high end restaurants don't achieve this balance of sweet and spicy, cleaned up the plate. I enjoyed the seasoning of the asada meat in the tacos, matching what I have had in Mexico.

Very busy with to-go orders, I had mine sitting at the quaint tables
