We stopped in for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. The salsa is clearly homemade, with good flavor and a mild spice. They also offer a hotter salsa with a strong chili flavor. We mixed the two and ended up with a perfect medium heat and great flavor. We tried the bacon and egg breakfast tacos, chilaquiles rojos, breakfast burrito, and menudo. Everything was good—not exceptional—but definitely enjoyable. The burrito had great flavor, likely from the potatoes, but the sliced yellow cheese took away from the authenticity. The tacos were simple: tortilla, bacon, egg, and queso fresco. They were good, just a bit basic. A little pico de gallo could elevate both the taste and the presentation. The chilaquiles were the highlight of the meal, full of flavor, and the sliced meat served alongside them was well-seasoned and very enjoyable. The menudo left me puzzled. The broth tasted very good on its own, but once mixed with the hominy and tripe, it lost something. The tripe pieces were cut unusually small—smaller than I’ve ever seen—which might have contributed. It also needed a touch more spice, but adding some of the hot salsa helped. Overall, the food was very good—just not quite great. Service was similar. A few times I needed something but had trouble getting the server’s attention.

Ordered a wet burrito with Carnitas. That's what I usually get when trying a new place. The staff was friendly, and it took about 10 minutes. When I got it back to my office I started to eat it and about the first 4 bites were Carnitas. I was expecting other items as well. Then I got rice. The rest of the burrito was noting but rice. Not what I expected for the price. Next time I'll just keep going up Larch.

In from out of town and first time here. The staff was helpful with any questions I had (I have some food sensitivities), and the food was fantastic!

I see why this small restaurant with fantastic decor always seems busy when I'm in Old Town. The chilaquiles I got were good and plentiful for $11. The huevos con chorizo my husband got were good though the chorizo wasn't as spicy as we were expecting and as plentiful as my plate was, his plate wasn't as generous with the huevos con chorizo. The low point was the hochata which tasted like it was made from a mix with artificial sweeteners which is all we could taste. Overall, I'd at least recommend it as a good Mexican restaurant that's open late.

Waitress fast but not courteous or attentive. Only came to drop off food and drop off bill. Asked for salsa but got extremely hot sauce, when I asked again she said that is salsa. There was 3 different kinds in their frig, red, orange, and green. Food was very good. Music a bit loud. Very cool booths, clean tables and chairs.
