Amazing Brunch Spot in Bayview! The entire experience is like transporting yourself to a small restaurant in Mexico, as the ambiance and especially the flavors allow your spirit to travel instantly. The service was good and fast, and the food.... i mean, im honestly speechless. Very good flavor, and amazing quality product. I love the touches of Mexico in each dish.. such as the Horchata Pancakes... or the Birria Skillet. Everything was amazing. Full of flavor, and at a price that wont break the bank. 100% recommend to come and have a bite during a lunch break... a meet up wkth a friend.. or a nice unique spot to bring that special someone.

I’m a pretty discerning critic - especially when it comes to breakfast restaurants. This place was a 10/10. One of the best breakfasts I have ever had anywhere. The staff is extremely friendly. The restaurant is cute. The merch is on point. But the food was just incredible. A unique take on Mexican breakfast fare, with huge portions. The flavors hit just right. I can’t wait to go back and try other things on the menu!

This place is a GEM!! We came for a birthday, and we left with hugs! Jorge greeted us and once he found out we were celebrating a 50th birthday he came around for a celebratory hug and reminisced about turning 50 as his 60th is coming up. It was the most human and sincere thing I have experienced in a restaurant. Now let’s talk about the food. OH. MY. GOSH!! We got the chilaquiles with chorizo and the horchata pancakes. Holy moly! Talk about authentic food made with hugs 🥰. Our server Simon was delightful and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend getting on the waitlist through yelp as there is extremely limited space to wait inside the restaurant. They also have super cute and unique jewelry, mugs, shirts, stickers and magnets to purchase. We ended our brunch with another hug to celebrate Jorge and he sent us off with a gift! We will FOR SURE be back!
