Will be returning! Yummy food! Try to go after rush hour so like at 2 pm for easier seating. I liked the birriaqueso tostadas and the chicharron tacos and torta de pierna. I do not however recommend the mango drink. I thought it was an aguas fresca but it was like a drink mix of soda and juice with tajin

Good tortas. Bring cash and your Spanish speaking skills. They are located around the back of the building. Very authentic.

Closest day-trip to Guadalajara! The pozole, torta ahogadas, tacos dorados, and aguas frescas were very delicious, salsas were very good and a spot on taste of Authentic Mexican cuisine. A comfortable dining experience, family owned and operated, a home-cooked style eatery. Will return for more meals here!

Wow! Food was sooo good!! I had a torta ahogada and a birria taco and the taste instantly brought me back to when I lived in Guadalajara. The staff were very friendly and attentive too! We’ll definitely be back. I’d love to see them open another location in a different area sometime in the future though since Lancaster Ave can be a bit sketchy.

Don’t walk! Run! This place is great! The tortas ahogadas are to die for. My child also enjoyed the quesadilla de birria. Plus the service is friendly. Bring cash or be ready to zelle.
