★★★★★ 5.0 KIMBERLY · Sep 2022

The food here really is mexican, It is very good. It is my first time coming here and will definitely come back. The pictures I posted are 2 gorditas, chicken flautas (taquitos), alambre plate amd enchiladas with rice and beans. It is not to big inside about 6 to 7 tables. Kid friendly and wheelchair accessible.

My dad is a regular here, and told me that this restaurant is the closest to authentic Mexican food there is. He says he feels like he’s in Mexico City when he gets his plate. I believe it! The food is delicious, my personal favorite is the Huitlacoche aka The Mexican Truffle, so good. My dad’s favorite is the Chilaquiles Con Steak. Highly recommend!

Authentic Distrito Federal mexican food. Tostadas de pata, quesadilla of pretty much anything you have imagined and pambazos among other D.F. traditional antojitos. Licuados de fruta and natural juices and available all day long and their huarache is huge! Filling up the whole plate! Affordable and conveniently fast service.
