Nice little restaurant which seats maybe 30 or less. The soup I ordered was flavorful but a bit salty and it had plenty of vegetables with a nice portion of rice. I will return to order a different daily lunch special in the coming weeks

:: Scamming through Credit Card FEE:: Went through the drive-thru ordered, 6 tacos, and paid cash. I was told to move forward so they can attend other cars. 40 minutes later, the employee comes out to ask what I ordered. 6 minutes, they bring the food. After looking over the receipt, I noticed I was charged CC SERVICE, but I paid cash. Customers need to be careful.

Me and my parents loved coming to this restaurant but recently they have been slacking a lot which is very disappointing. The beans have been either really watery or dry, the enchilada sauce is very salty and more. They ve messed up my moms food 3 times. A lot has changed I don t know if there s a different cook but even the service has been bad, if they don t start fixing their mistakes they re going to lose customers.

The place is very small, but we expected to have great service and food based on the reviews. However, that was not the case. The waitress was rude from the moment we arrived and not attentive. Forgot my order and after being asked several times for other food items that she forgot that my family order she still kept saying I ll bring it right out , but right out never came. She did however try to charge us for the items that were never brought. And questioned her only other coworker if they were brought out. In the end service was bad, food was okay-what was brought out. Prices are somewhat okay. My advice . Go some place else. I would not recommend this place.

Quaint, small diner. Breakfast was very good albeit slow preparation. Cost tad high for breakfast. Place draws a crowd sometimes wait for a table. Parking is at a premium as it fills up and small. Waitresses were spot on, helpful, and friendly. Liked their pottery stoneware and coffee cups, very authentic. We really liked it. Parking: Small parking lot and dining area.

We usually come here every time we visit San Juan, and the food is always great, portions are good, but today we ordered tacos, we opened them to put salsa, my husband asked the waitress if they ran out chicharron and she said yes, with no shame. We went to pay and she said, Im removing one taco from our bill but she didnt. Needless to say we wont be going back or recommending this place anymore.
