We ordered Mol and Gorditas, along with a wet burrito plate, and enjoyed some tempache to drink. The food was delicious! The Gorditas had a perfect combination of crispiness on the outside and softness in the middle, and they were quite substantial. The fruit was fresh, and the tempache, made with pineapple juice, orange juice, mango, and cinnamon served over ice, was refreshing—though I believe traditional tempache is generally fermented; I'm not sure if this version was, but it was tasty nonetheless. If you appreciate a good mixed salsa, you'll find it here as well. My only critique would be that my hot food could have been hotter. The service was good, and the outdoor seating was perfect for a summer dining experience. Overall, the food was excellent, and we will definitely be coming back!

The tamales are delicious, just like the gorditas, and when paired with fresh horchata, it's the perfect lunch. The new owners are wonderful, and their cooking skills are impressive.

The salsas were yummy and spicy. These burritos are not very big but the tortillas are handmade and fresh. We took everything to go. I think it was worth it.

The ingredients and flavors are of the highest quality, with generous portions. The pollo (garlic chicken) and rockfish were both outstanding!
