I asked for a quesadilla and this is what I received. It wasn’t cut up and the cheese was in clumps. It was disgusting!

Great food yummy delicious their Hot sauce is fresh and spicy for the Chile lovers😋don't get fooled by how the place looks, is not fancy. But the food is excellent.

After living in Italy for the summer, I was on my way back to the west coast / Los Angeles and I wanted Mexican food. This place is fire, very authentic. A fellow Californian that stayed living in NY told me I would love this place. The green salsa for the chips, I needed that taste of spice. The nachos as an appetizer for great. The caldo de pollo wow, comfort food, just what I needed.
