This is my place, and theyre fantastic. The food is always great, and they let me try to speak Spanish. Know that you cant tip on credit cards, so bring cash. Great spot.

Dont sleep on that beef stew if you are hungover sick or starving. Celery, potato, carrot, squash and the infamous chayote, and corn on the cob with a side of rice. Onion cilantro fresh jalapeno diced and two wedges of lime. ...
