What I loved about it was that a. there was a lady making fresh tortillas by the second. b. they didn&#8217;t have a proper written menu and only offered a few items which made it easy to pick something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started with a soup (which was amazing). My main dish was cheese quesadillas. It was a super simple meal but honestly very delicious especially with the fresh guacamole.
