Really recommend this place! My favorite was the tamales. The portion size was large and the tamales were moist with good flavor. I got one beef and one chicken. Seemed like a family owned business with a really friendly vibe. Good service and gave good recommendations. They had a variety of salsas to add. Tamales were really filling and pretty cheap, good value.

We've been here several times - whenever we're in Seattle for appts. The people are great - friendly and helpful. The food is great too - with generous portions. Even the teas are fantastic. And it's fun to wait and notice the eclectic group of Customers waiting - locals mostly. Love it! Don't let the outside sway you away - inside awaits you!

I got a birria quesadilla which came with beans and rice which was around $15 w/tip. The food was served hot (if it's not burning I don't want it, jk). Food was yummy and it felt like a home cooked meal.

Good prices and great food. I flew in from Chicago the other day and the first place we went to grab food right after the flight was here. I was hangry and this cured that so fast! I ate 3 tamales at the resturant and took a few to go. The tamales are very well portioned, eating 3 was a lot but was good for me. The cashier was super sweet and we enjoyed talking to him as we were ordering and during our meal. Authentic Mexican food with great vegan tamale options!! P.s. the menu I saw online didn't have all the vegan tamales listed, so if you're ordering through the phone make sure to ask about all the options.

We heard of this place through intentionalist so decided to give it a try. The place is small but it has a more homey vibe with a Mexican flare. You order at the counter and then they give you a number when it's ready. The guys are pretty nice. We got a pork taco plate which came with 2 tacos, rice and beans as well as a birria taco on the side. The tacos was really good! I enjoy the softness of the tortilla but it was still sturdy. The pork was not dry and they put a lot in there and I didn't miss any of the pickled veggies I usually put on tacos. The birria was saucy and also really enjoyable. Overall, it was a good spot to hit if you're in the area :)

This is a good, no frills and authentic Mexican Food restaurant. The tortillas were homemade and very fresh. I ordered 4 different tacos, birria and chips & salsa. The pork and chorizo tacos were excellent, the chicken mole and asada tacos were okay. The birria was good, but I prefer queso birria (birria with cheese). Overall, this is a good and very affordable Mexican Restaurant.

A really solid spot for Mexican food in Beacon Hill. I tried both the chilaquiles with carne asada and the pork tamal. The chilaquiles were my favorite of the two things I tried as it had a really great proportion size and tasted very comforting. The tamale was good and cheap. Overall good food for a low price you can't find at most places nowadays. The servers were also really kind. The space is very small so just be aware of that if you dine in.

Hole-in-wall-esque Mexican spot in South Seattle. The five stars was for the Chili Relleno Burrito ($10.75), which I've been dying to try for a while. It didn't look like much but it was pure, cheesy, ooey, tasty goodness. Also ordered the chicken mole plate ($12.50), this was just okay. Their house made sauces / salsas are also incredible. Kind staff who brought our food directly to us :)
