Some of the BEST tamales (available WHEN they feel like it) and menudo (also available intermittently) you will get until your abuela comes back, but be prepared to be underwhelmed with the server and location. Unfortunately the air conditioning does not work on a regular basis so unless you want to have take out you will be sweating your tamales off!

Great tacos!! Excellent prices. Me being Mexican I can say that these are 100% authentic tacos. Granted the place doesn't look like much but that's what rustic dining is like, plus they make it up in prices and more importantly, in flavor. UPDATE! They have upgraded to a building with AC and the works! It's even better than before!

I've stopped here many times to grab a quick lunch. The food is prepared to order and always great, people are friendly, and prices are very reasonable. They only take cash, but at these prices that's no problem. Be sure to leave a tip, these people work hard and deserve a little recognition!
