"When you first walk in, it feels like Covid is still going on! Looks like it’s pickup only. No seating in the restaurant (late august 2023) But there is a wonderfully cute back patio. So many beautiful plants and flowers. Lights come on later in the evening. Very small menu, no liquor. (Think margaritas, though she said they have wine margaritas) One round of chips was all we got, and I think because we ordered guacamole? Not sure you get the standard free chips. I really enjoyed the mole, though I’d have enjoyed a larger size for my appetite! Only bummer was service was slow, but I believe she was working the floor all by herself. So can’t complain Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Mole"

The server was nice but quite slow. We were the only patrons, and it was very dark in most of the restaurant. The food was fine, but nothing incredibly special. Charged for the chips and salsa.

Delicious food, the loveliest patio space, and wonderful women who run it. It was like stepping into my grandma’s kitchen, only mexican and not swedish. We will be back. Vegetarian options: My partner is a vegetarian and is often limited when we go out. No limits here! All dishes were accessible for both of us.
