Jun 29, 2026"This place makes the perfect chilaquiles. En serio. I've been having chilaquiles all over Mexico, and this is easily top 3. Somehow, the tortilla stays crispy, drenched in all that exquisite housemade salsa verde. Porque ain't nobody's got time for soggy chilaquiles, verdad? Service is also flawless here. Prices are reasonable. The space they have created is so colorful and it just feels nice to spend time here. Highly recommend."

We waited for coffee for around 20 minutes, and then our food for another 25-30 minutes, so our coffee got cold."

The crepe was ok and I got the mañanero which is a simple option of eggs and one other ingredient, plus beans, chilaquiles and fried plantains. This isn’t really on them, but a lot of musicians and peddlers can come in. So even though the WiFi is decent, I wouldn’t come here to work. It can get pretty noisy and disruptive."

Mar 15, 2026"Very good curry, but not enough rice in comparison to the amount of curry to eat it with. I paid 25$ extra for more rice and they gave me 2 extra spoons. That was the smallest amount I've seen in the history of extras. I told the waiter it was very small and he only said sorry and did nothing. I remember a thai restaurant I went to: when I asked for more rice they brought me twice the initial amount at no extra charge. So I wouldn't say it was good value for money. And the male waiter was cold. Also it's the first time a bill includes 10% tip, that was weird. The amount of a tip depends on how good the service was, don't take it for granted. I gave less than I usually would."
