So Mexican: I loved it. Roadside restaurant. Had the chiliquiles with chicken and both red and green sauce. So good. And of course, fresh orange juice to drink.

Delicious home cooked Mexican food, breakfast and lunch. And a convenient location on the way to Manzanillo. The staff is always warm and welcoming. Oh, and a great parking lot! Highly recommend.

Always a good place for a good meal. A few years ago we stopped for a meal before dropping friends at the airport. We had our meal and Mike asked if they had dessert. They didn’t, but the cook(abuela) cut a piece from a cake she had baked for husband. The positive was she never charged for the dessert.
