WOW! WE WALKED INTO THIS PLACE HUNGRY AND WALKED OUT ULTRA SATISFIED. From start to finish, everything was extremely fresh, stunning to look at, authentic/true to TORREON roots, and the taste was off the charts. There wasn’t a single complaint from us if anything we were sad we didn’t have more room. (& I loved this place so much , That I ended up eating here two mornings in a row). The atmosphere feels like you’re transported to Mexico for a moment. You’ll see hard working members of the staff crafting these items for you carefully and with lots of love. The tables are constantly turning and people are always pouring in especially on the weekends but the flow never felt slow and everything came out hot and fresh. The menu has many selections for you to enjoy inside a Gordita, Sope, or flautas. Amazing options like the usual picadillo, tinga, & mole and even some rarer options like requesón, rajas, or chicharrones presados en chile. & if that wasn’t enough they even offer multiple styles of Gordita: al carbon, maiz, & one other style I’m blanking on right now. They also offer an amazing selection of refreshments as well! From fresh and tarty limonada, to mexican coke or cafe de olla (MUST TRY, this is what brought me back 2x in a row). They also have postres for those sweet tooths. We got the flautas with papas inside, a choriqueso Sope, and gorditas. The gorditas were chunky, pillowy, warm, and full of meat. The sope was beautifully crafted: beans first then a meat of your choice, tomatoes, lettuce, queso fresco, & crema. We also enjoyed the fresh salsa they brought out with the meal. All in all, this style restaurant is one of the best of its kind and will have you hooked once you experience it. This is the type of taste that will have you coming back for more and telling the people you love about it too.

Flavors are decent. Authentic mexican food for sure. If you get flautas be sure to know if you like Cueritos de cerdo or not. Me I don’t like it. It’s small gelatonous pieces of pickeled pork rinds. They will put it on unless you say not to. The portions though…woah. If you are hungry come here and you will be filled. The waitresses are nice. Atomosphere is dated and generic like it’s been around but we are not here for that anyway.
