Amazing food and service!!! They are so welcoming...if you're looking for a street greasy taco place this is not for you. You can tell this food is all made fresh and yes the tomatillo sauce is a bit tangy because that's how it is supposed to taste! All 5 of us enjoyed our food very much. Gracias!
To begin with, I think the place goes unnoticed. The colors do not help to distinguish that it is a restaurant. I was driving down this street for a long time and I could not distinguish what it was. Now inside it looks spacious and clean, I ordered the cochinita tacos and my wife ordered the carnita and one of cochinita. The tacos were ok. but the avanero sauce is totally tasteless. Their green salsa was not spicy at all. The menu is very basic. My wife liked the carnitas taco and also the cochinita taco but the cochinita taco had a spice she didn’t particularly like. The sodas were pretty pricy for them to only be canned soda. For the price, tacos weren’t well served. the bathrooms are clean and tidy.
My family and I had a great time here. Authentic Mexican dishes with standout finds like the cochinita, different moles, and enfrijoladas. We will definitely be coming back to sample much more from the menu, especially the pozole. Service is attentive and the restaurant is cozy with a colorful vibe just like the Mexico City neighborhood “Polanco”
The chef is great and food is really high quality and fresh. As the manager said, everything is made in house and no canned foods used.
We will be coming back

Some of the best tacos I have had in awhile. Priced a little high, but still worth it. I will be back
I had really high hopes for this place, but it was downright disappointing. Everything was highly overpriced. The food was bland and dry. The salsas tasted tangy like it was just tomatillo, absolutely no heat. I ordered the carne asada tacos and fully regretted it, to the point where I couldn't even finish the first one. The tortillas had a terrible aftertaste, and the meat was not seasoned. I would not recommend, nor would I ever go back.
I like to eat local places not chains but this place is not worth it ordered chorizo and potato tacos no chorizo in it or anything else. Just potato. They won’t ask you whether you want corn or flour tortillas and both my friend and I hate corn tortillas. We just paid extra for flour tortillas.
My friend ordered fish tacos and that was also no good and two tiny tacos with a 2 inch long fish in it for $17.99.
I didn’t quite get why this place has received good reviews.

This place is adorable. The place has plenty of seating inside and is very comfy, the service was a bit slow as we had to get someone's attention to help. The food came out fairly quick and everything was delicious and fresh. I loved the food and flavors. Would definitely come back to try other dishes.
This restaurant is raveworthy! The food is not only tasty; it is truly authentic. As a fellow Mexican; I am very proud and admired of Chef Diego. Thank You Chef Diego for representing our cultural culinary inheritance with such high skill.
