Feb 25, 2026"It's a small open air market that sells food and has several different stalls that you can sit at and eat. The food was cheap and good, although it seems the food just sits out in the open all day. I did not get sick eating there."

Feb 01, 2026"Crazy place - as soon as you walk in everything starts calling you to go with them. Yelling their menus. We ate there once . Huge portions. The lady did forget one of my orders but I was so full I didn’t remind her of the other order. And the carnitas omg best of the best. I’ve had carnitas de Michoacán here in Cali but nothing compare to carnitas de ( real ) Michoacán ."
