Some visitors express dissatisfaction with the cozy interior, feeling that it can become quite crowded during peak hours, particularly on Sundays at 11 AM. The noise level can rise during these busy times, which may disrupt a quiet meal or conversation. Others mention the limited options outside of breakfast and brunch, wishing for more variety in the lunch and dinner menus. Parking can also be a slight inconvenience during peak times, despite the availability of free on-site parking. A handful of guests hope for more creative flair in some dishes, aiming for an exciting twist on classic menu items.

Theirs something for everybody. I truly enjoyed my chicken avocado sandwich. It was a great portion size & kept me full. I also want to mention their salsas were spot on. My sandwich came with a chipotle sauce that paired perfectly.

5+🥑👍 Not a fancy place, it used to be called the Dog House many years ago. The family that owns it does a nice job with the Latin flare food wise. Very kind and respectful and attentive ownership. We were very comfortable. The food was good, and a good place just to have a conversation over an inexpensive meal.

If you are from out of town and love Mexican food do not walk but run here for breakfast. We ordered the Chilaquiles with steak and green sauce. It was amazing. The spice from the green sauce was not overpowering but left a lingering tingle in the mouth. The other dish was the Avocado Benedict. It was a nice simple dish. If we come back to this area I would come back.
