It's one of those hole in the wall places you just go for the food. The best tacos we have had since leaving Southern California . It is a small Deli, counter serve style with 3 tables to sit. The food was excellent. The tacos, quesadilla, and Papusas everything was freshly prepared and hot. The meats are succulent and juicy. It's not very cheap, but the quality and taste of the food are well worth it.

Cozy area, and delicious dishes thus far; my having chicken empanadas, rice-beans-plantains, and as well, they sell a great assortment of other things. So you can stop in for your next favorite candy you never knew you'd love, or some common snacks like Doritos, and a coke. Whatever floats, but what I'm saying about it is, I like it. I think maybe it's definitely worth checking out, it not for just that store, the others in that area, and shopping center. Happy exploring.

Best deli! Delicious Spanish food and the owner and the workers are so nice every time I come in alone or with my mom. Whoever put a one star just doesn’t have good taste in food. Gracias por su servicio
