What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ Have to give 5 stars because the place is very authentic. There's very little English spoken, but it works. The Carne a Tampiquena was phenomenal. The steak was very good with a ton of flavor, as were the beans and cheese enchiladas. Will be back again for sure. ”
“ Mexican diner-like restaurant with casual environment. The food took a little bit to arrive and was fresh/hot. The food itself was good but not the greatest Mexican food you’ll find in the area. The salsas were not very spicy. The horchata was really good. However, the warm corn tortillas were the best part of the meal! I could eat a whole stack of them. Decent place for a late-night bite. ”
“ Very authentic and traditional. My date explained that it's been family owned for generations! That makes my soul smile. The menu headings were primarily in Spanish, so I was overly grateful for the English descriptions. The food was very fresh and very spicy. That caught me off guard. We will be back. I just know to ask for a milder flavoring. ”
“ Mis nuevos chilaquiles favoritos! Goodness. I knew this places is supposed to be tasty, but it is now on my heavy BuHi rotation! Those are the best chilaquiles I’ve had, the torta was excellent, and the service was prompt, helpful, and friendly. This place is really really good. Gracias La Pastorcita! Que sabores! ”
