The drinks are always refilled promptly and the portion sizes are generous. I could easily dine here every single day.

He is so nice and accomodating. And the food is fabulous! Sandwiches are fresh, cream of chicken soup is my favorite. I can't wait to go in and eat, the restaurant is so cute!Thanks Gus!!

I like the saltiness of the ham with the eggs or the crunch of the jalapeño in the huevos rancheros. Best of all, the live up to their saying, come as strangers, leave as friends.
