This is my new favorite go to breakfast spot. The service is amazing. The food is not only delicious but also a work of art. I tried Nopales with chorizo, so good. My regular plate is huevos Ranchero. The plate is large with generous portions. Love their grilled biscuits also. Prices are reasonable.

Must stop local breakfast joint with the most delicious soft hand made tortillas. Definitely tastes homemade and is authentic to this town. Their portions were generous especially for the price. I also liked that it wasn’t too busy during the week for breakfast.
