They have a breakfast combo of eggs (al gusto), fruit, and coffee for 70 pesos. We both got the huevos con chorizo, and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. That said, they do allow smoking, and, while the 4 tables are outdoors, if you’re particularly sensitive to smoke, check the patrons around you and give it a serious think about eating here.

If you’re looking for an authentic place this is it. I hate tourist restaurants without flavors and this one has a chef that cooks with passion and amazing flavors. Everything is home made on the spot and it’s just delicious and properly spicy if you ask for it. They’re also the nicest people. Don’t hesitate eat here!
