    My friend from Brookfield brought me here for the first time yesterday. It’s family owned and they have great food. I normally wouldn’t come to a Mexican restraunt and order a protein bowl, but she said it’s wonderful. So we had guacamole as an appetizer and steak protein bowls. It was fabulous and then I saw they had mole on their menu and I asked for a lil side for me to try it because I am a mole freak. It was soooo good and I added to my protein bowl. It was scrumptious! The mole was just right and not too sweet. It definitely had a nice kick! You also have to try their coffee horchatas. OMG! They put it in iced beer mugs. Really delicious and Ramon the owner is a Sweetheart!
