The cheese and bacon fries were pretty good. The chicken cheesesteak was satisfying, too. Service was fine, though the fries got a bit soggy by the end.

The salsa verde is nicely balanced, not too spicy. And the queso is a proper cheese sauce, not thin at all. My server was really friendly and checked in just the right amount, which made for a relaxed meal.

The decor is so authentic and cozy, really sets a warm neighborhood vibe. I appreciate how well-maintained everything is, it feels clean and inviting. A nice spot for a relaxed meal.

Solid Italian comfort food. The meatballs and marinara really do taste like home cooking. Portions are huge, which is great because the prices feel totally fair. A nice, filling spot.

Late lunch, and that tamale wrapped in a banana leaf was huge. Seriously good, maybe the best I&#39;ve had stateside. Couldn&#39;t finish it. Place was spotless, even the restrooms.
