Huge menu full of authentic favorites. Was an instant hit with our family. Way across town for us but 100% worth it.
The caldo de res is lovely. Order a side of rice if you normally eat it that way. Also the birria tacos, absolutely crave-worthy, especially with the consome. If you really want the IG whole hog, you can get tapatio ramen at H Mart in NoPo, make that up and mix it with your consome, dip your tacos, oh my goodness. Carb overload but it is a tasty treat.
The family enjoys the burritos and quesadillas and chimichangas. I haven't had a good pupusa in a couple years, so I really want to come try some but those birria tacos always win out.
Also, they are huge and filling. I ordered three the first time and regretted it. If you are a light eater, one and the consome may be enough, but will leave you wanting more.
They are super nice, the wait isn't long at all, and it is an amazing option if you want something different than the usual. And if you have kids who aren't as adventurous, there are still plenty of delicious options they will recognize.
And if you're here on a Friday night, the panaderia next door smells delicious. Grab some conchas and Abuelita and you are set for Saturday morning breakfast with a hot cup of champurrado.
