Had a delicious meal with wonderful service. I’ll definitely be back and I appreciate the level of detail that was taken on each item, including the delicious jalapeño margarita with the sliced jalapeño on top. The elote was very delicious and everything was hot and cooked to order!

Best Tlayuda ever . The rest of the food was ok. I have to come back to try the mole. I was disappointed because they only have Pozole Blanco and I was expecting Rojo. But everything was ok.
