I sure recommend this place, if you want to taste real Mexican food. This place is fire. The menu pretty extensive by the way. offers lamb and is very tasteful. I could say I feel like I travel in one hour to Texcoco Mexico,and enjoy my self with this delicious plate of barbacoa. I will definitely come back. I ordered the plate and it comes with tortillas,consomé(soup that came out of the lamb while cooking) delicious.

Found this place close to my office and now I cannot stop eating lunch here. Lamb barbacoa is DOPE, quesadilla de chicharron is delicious, but OMG real cafe de hoya? You guys need to come and check out this place yourselves. You will never want to leave. + service is excellent

Was driving by this place and stopped for lunch. Very authentic Mexican lamb barbecue. Everything was packed full of flavor. The 1/2 lb lamb rib meat was pull apart tender. Pack that into the warm corn tortillas with onions, cilantro and salsa. What more do you want? Cafe de olla was probably the best I've ever had. Highly recommend this place. We will be back.
