I used to love this place but they change the menu. we tried the jicama salad (3/10) cause it was only lettuce with jicama… the only good part was the vinaigrette that’s all! Pretty simple salad…. Need it more texture or more stuff. The Chicken tacos with salsa habanero… (3/10) flavor wasn’t there, needed it more seasoning or something else, taste it like a taco truck or less. And the quesabirria (9/10) this was actually pretty good! It had a nice flavor and with some lime and the consomé very delicious. We order churros for dessert and they were 10/10!!! Very unique flavor of the jams and the churros itself were delicious, soft and crunchy! I used to come here only for the codorniz and the octopus… pretty sad they are not in the menu!
