    Breakfast was top notch. We ordered the carne adovada & eggs and the huevos rancheros. Both were really really good. The green sauce is spicy and awesome

    This little gem is right in our neighborhood and always has consistently great tasting food. I'm particularly in love with the chips they serve: crunchy and full-flavored corn.

    They initially ran out of carne adovada, so we changed our orders, but our servers overheard the kitchen staff say it was back - and brought us our original orders! It was awesome!!!

    We think they are the only New Mexican restaurant to serve high quality loose leaf tea in the state, which means probably in the world!!!

    Honestly, we both didn't care for it. It left us fairly confused about the rave reviews and we're not that difficult to please.

    Took over 20 minutes to even get a drink order. Another 15 minutes for food order. Didn't even get drinks until 12 minutes after we ordered them... No thanks to coming back here.

    The great food is overshadowed by the extremely poor customer service. Unfortunate, actually.
