The restaurant is quaint and decorated well. The service is fantastic with a knowledgable server who checked in frequently. The food was good although the huevos rancheros (red and green salsa) was underwhelming. They brought the huevos rancheros well before the chilaquiles which resulted in the first dish getting cold. The chilaquiles were huge and very good. They don’t serve drip coffee but the americano was also good. We will definitely return and give it another try.
