Master Critic Review
For All Things Good
8.2
A counter-style Mexican spot where the farm-to-table signal shows up in the fundamentals—house-made tortillas and a menu that feels produce-aware rather than heavy. The move is one breakfast-style item or a tlayuda-style order, plus coffee, and you’re out before it turns into a full sprawl.
Must-Try Dishes:
Breakfast Gordita, Tlayudita, House-made tortillas (tacos)
