Small torta shop with many options. Service was great. Our waitress was very nice. Free chips with beans. Our food came out pretty quick. Huge portions. One torta can really feed two. Great prices as well.
Ordered through Grubhub. Food was delicious. I ordered steak torta meal and chicken quesadilla both excellent.
Food was great. ............................Seasoned to perfection. ................... The lemon on top........OMG........
I came here last night, and the employees were super kind and helpful. The food was amazing, and I'll definitely be coming back for sure. They have tons of options to choose from, and what I bought was good. The horchata was also delicious. I didn't sit and eat there because it's a little small. Their salsa verde is also very good!!!!!
Hidden gem - the tortas are amazing!! We tried both the steak and chicken Milanese and both were packed full of flavor.
