Very good huevos rancheros. Homemade ranchera sauce that's pretty mild. The day I had breakfast, all the prices for the breakfast plates were blacked out with a marker on the menus. I had to ask for the price. The huevos rancheros were about $10, up from about $8.50, I believe. (I've come to expect this at similar restaurants with inflation and egg prices.) Flour tortillas are good, about average but not at all disappointing. Pretty spicy red arbol chili (I think) salsa and the salsa Verde is a bit creamy and I'd say between medium and hot. Drizzling a bit of salsa verde over the rice is delicious. No chips & salsa during breakfast. Very good service-- my plate was out surprisingly fast.

Like it here. Overall 5/5 delicious I got the carne con nopales taco and taco el gobernador. Homemade tortillas on corn. Me gusta la comida. My friend's daughter got the corn on the cup and she said it was good 4/5. The fruit bowl was delicious 5/5. Chips and salsa need some work but it's okay. Definitely recommend.
