Authentic Mexican food. I got the Birria de chivo tacos on handmade tortillas. Came for lunch on a Thursday and it was empty but it looks like it can get busy. Definitely has family breakfast on the weekend vibes. Tortillas were soft. Meat was good. Salsa was flavorful

Came here while visiting family in LA from the Miami area. very satisified with everything we had here at this place. I had the Pozole which was very very good. I have traveled in Mexico and this plate here has flavors which reminded me of my mexico travels. and the plate they give you to support the Pozole was incredible.
