I have been coming for years. Highly recommend for a friendly and delicious experience. I stopped visiting because of a quality concern but it has since been rectified and I’ve enjoyed this place once again.It’s great to support a local, family owned business. The snacks are perfect treats for any day (closed on Tuesdays). I especially like their elotes. As a corn fanatic, I know the idea of it not being cut fresh off the cob is off putting but let me tell you it tastes amazing and I sometimes crave it more than fresh cut elotes.The flans our unbelievable. This is the best flan I’ve had and it so RICH and velvety. The chocoflan which is half cake half flan is one of my favorite desserts of ALL time. I highly recommend. Other desserts are mini lemon cakes with light frosting (the perfect baby smash cake size if you ask me). They also have tres leche and cheesecakes. Im not the biggest fan of the cheesecake but the tres leches looks really good.I’ve also tried their nachos, elote on the cob, and agua fresco which are all great!There is available seating inside to enjoy ice cream, fresh fruit, and all of their great snacks. Downside to this place is that they charge extra if you use a credit card but otherwise great to support local!
