It’s tough to get in but if you do, share the Mocajete between two or three people. You really won’t need an appetizer. If you’re into Tequila or Mezcal you’re in the right place.

Practice your Spanish speaking skills here. In fútbol season, watch the game and feel the energy when Argentina is playing. I love the Classico empanada at lunch or the chorizo and egg for breakfast. The sauces are a necessary accompaniment! If you’re adventurous, try the traditional Spanish dishes in the right side of the display case. They also have great coffee, espresso, and wine!!! Get takeout and they’ll send you home with a pizza box with a dozen empanadas.

Family owned restaurant with a great vibe! Drink one of many exotic fresh fruit juices, including guanabana and maracuya. We love the bandeja montañera when super hungry. I also love the fish. They started as a food truck and expanded into this restaurant a few years ago. Ask owner Jorge to recommend a dish that you might like.
