Authentic Mexican food. Very friendly owners, small restaurant, smaller menu which is great for their smaller location, great for carry outs. We ordered the Chicken and steak tortas ( Mexican style sandwiches) which were generous in size and very good. Owners came to the table and asked if we would like to try some pickled jalapeños and pickled gardinera they made. I also found out that they make special items, for example, tamales on Fridays. Definitely plan to return to try the tamales.
