Our waitress was very kind and helpful as their menus aren't in English, but they have pictures and you can tell what you're ordering. The food and service were excellent, and I would definitely go back! They even made a special birthday message on my plate!

Never fails to amaze me! I love coming here! The food is amazingly creative and the presentation is so pretty. Our server is very friendly and accommodating. The place is cozy and small, but everyone dining there seems to be enjoying their time. It's a good place to dine for breakfast and lunch, even dinner, and I definitely recommend it for friends and family.

Restaurant is homey and small. Service is quick and accommodating for all ages. My family enjoyed it. Only issue was parking since its next to a busy highway but circled until we found a spot.

1st time here and let me say that I've never stopped at any of the restaurants on this side of town (Mission) .. I usually eat out near me or in McAllen. Their oatmeal is the Best. I will definitely come back :)
