If you have not been here GO. Best Mexican chicken soup I have ever had .The place is quaint and clean ,the food is made fresh .The broth for the chicken soup is flavorful and warm .Reminds me of my mother's as a child .They bring you chips and dip ,And your drink of choice .The chicken soup comes steaming hot and fresh ,big pieces of chicken and potato and carrot ,celery and rice that you pour in .They give you a plate with hot peppers ,onion and cilantro .and your choice of tortillas.its the best meal and it fills you up .Go try the food it's amazing .

Stopped in on a Thursday for lunch and had the best food I’ve had in a while! The asada Gordita was divine! There were 6 people in our group and all of us enjoyed our meals. The grilled jalapeños were spicy and flavorful. The workers were so kind and fun! 10/10 food, atmosphere, and service. If I lived in the area this would be one of my frequent spots

Drive-thru service here has become a joke whenever I have to deal with the older dark lady working the window. She’s consistently rude and acts like she hates her job. Today I asked for extra sauces—after tipping her—thinking that would cover the extra effort. Every other employee has always been kind and willing to help, but she told me to “go inside and pour my own sauces into cups” if I wanted more. That is absolutely not how you treat a loyal customer who has been coming here for nearly 15 years. If you’re having a bad day, don’t take it out on customers. Unfortunately, this experience will be my last visit to this location.

A small restaurant with big flavor. Would definitely recommend. The moment you enter the atmosphere is comforting and the smell of food instantly gets you hooked. 10/10 would recommend

A Very Disappointing Experience I visited this restaurant twice, and both times I was overcharged compared to the menu price. The first time, my husband and I ordered menudo listed at $16, but when we paid, they charged us $20 each menudo. I thought maybe it was just a mistake, but the same thing happened when I went alone and ordered something to go also listed at $16. When I was about to pay, they told me it was $21. On top of that, they added a tip without my consent, telling me to just press continue. I ended up almost tipping $5 I never agreed to. they charged more than the menu price and tried to sneak in a tip. I didn’t leave any tip after that because it felt dishonest. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place since they seem to be overcharging and adding hidden fees. Very bad
