      Please note that this is a CASH ONLY restaurant. (They have a small sign inside the restaurant) and they do have an ATM incase you don't have cash on hand.

      The food was great, we never made it inside because it was really packed and we're seated outside. We came on a Sunday morning and there were a Latin musicians playing for tips.

      The menudo was delicious and we ordered birria as well, along with nacho asada.

      The service was great, the waitress came by regularly to make sure we were taken care of. Over all great experience.

      Good solid, Mexican restaurant in my neighborhood. They've been in business in the Mission as long as I can remember. Bright open space with lots old Mexican movie start posters on the walls. Outdoor patio/parklet and sidewalk seating for those nice, sunny Mission days. The tortillas are made fresh in-house. It always seems to be busy for brunch on weekends.
      I have the standards: enchiladas, relleno, tacos and soups and enjoy them all. Recently, I had the beef milianesa (breaded, fried beef cutlet) and it was a flavorful, crispy, non-greasy dish. They serve breakfast all day.

      This place is my favorite place for two reasons. One the waitresses are wonderful and so friendly. The food is the best in the mission for my taste. The owner is a nice guy.

      Overall this place is A+

      Just finished another delicious meal here.

      Great food. Good service. Just wish they accepted cards. Otherwise a perfect 10. Every item I've ordered here has been amazing.

      Excellent food and service. I really like their menudo. Only minus was that the side of beans and rice was cold.

      Came during lunch time on Saturday and they were packed! Indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for outdoor since we brought my dog with us.

      Awesome authentic food & friendly staff. Have been here a couple of times already and it never disappoints. Prior visits, we have tried the milanesa, menudo, pozole, & nopales with eggs - all fireee.

      Street parking could be tough and make sure to bring cash! Not sure if they accept card yet.
