Love this little place. I live their tacos de canasta. The salsas are fantastic! Owner is so friendly. We are lucky to have Cafe Mau in the neighborhood.

Ricardo is the best! This a great little spot pretty close to our house and Ricardo the owner is one of the nicest people ever. Simple, cheap and very friendly place. Not a big, fancy spot. If you want delicious breakfast food at a super great price and an incredibly friendly owner I highly recommend grabbing some breakfast burritos or a torta here. We go all the time and it’s always a great experience.

Best little road side cafe! Ricardo is so welcoming and accommodating, using Google translate for English. Tortas and club sandwhich are a hit! Chilaquiles are delicious. The coffee drinks and cappuccinos are carefully crafted and so good! Take out or sit down and enjoy!
