“ Wow! This place was open late at night and wanted to try their enchiladas. We got a torta and enchiladas and the lonche was ok but the enchiladas we FIRE. I mean so DELICIOUS. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend these RED enchiladas! Stop by and grab some if you're near the area and I KNOW you won't regret it. Also, I know it's a bad picture but we got them to go. ”
“ Tiny hole in the wall mainly for locals with excellent Pozole and chicken soup! The pozale was large and had melt in your mouth tongue!! The chicken soup came with the a large drumstick that just fell off the bone. It’s neat and open 24 hours a day!!!! ”
“ Don't miss this little gem-- the green enchiladas are absolutely delicious, sopes too! We loved the Jamaica drink, and the salsa was just right, spicy but not too much. Seems like a mom and pop joint and the customer service is very good. We came here after a bad Mahajuita/ Yelapa tour experience and this food picked our mood back up again! ”
“ Had we found this place earlier in our trip, would’ve had all three meals a day here. The abuelita is so kind and the food is amazing. It really feels like having a home cooked meal in Puerto Vallarta. ”
