Good tasting coffee, also ordered the chilaquiles in red sauce and it was very good. Nice place to stop by for breakfast when I'm in Seattle. Amanda Cts2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful experience. The portions are large so it’s a great gem of a find in Seattle! Their tomatillo green sauce was exceptional! Flavors were on point. Try the mole chicken tamal. It was delicious. Wendy Roman2025-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly. The popusas at this place are OUT OF THIS WORLD. So crispy. Crazy good. I only tried the bean/cheese one and it was delicious. I’m usually a “slather it in salsa” type of gal but no need. The popusa spoke for itself. The horchata was also incredible— creamy and not overly sweet or with that synthetic sweetness taste that other places have. This place just reminded me of home and my abuelito so 5 stars.

I’ve been going here for 7 years and they are my favorite tamale in town. They are a really sizable tamale instead of a tube shape more like a brick shape. They also make vegan tamales and they make them by the hundreds so they can accommodate gigantic orders! The other food is excellent here too, the birria and birria tacos are legit. Really good rice and beans and 5 different salsas. All scratch kitchen and it shows. This family run restaurant are wonderful people too!
