Omg, best place to eat lunch with friends. Service was amazing, super friendly and professionally dress. The vibes is great. Seating is limited so I'm sure weekends gets super packed so reserve if needed. We went on a Wednesday and it was half full so it was fine. The entrance is sketchy but it's there hahaha. Food was perfection! This is what I call chef kiss! True chef work of art. Everything was delicious I order the one that said chicken sandwich with chili with refresher of the day. Not sure the exact words but something like that. I do wish they spoke a little slower for us who understand Spanish but not that fast, hahaha but it was fun practicing my listening skill even though I failed they were patient. Parking looks like it's hard to find luckily we were using Uber. I would definitely go back in the future if I go to Juárez again.

My girlfriend and I were told about this restaurant by a friend. While the barren location will throw some people off, sandwiches were great! The homemade ketchup was nice, the pollo picante works great with the ranch dip and then the special sandwich with ham and a cranberry jam was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! This maybe one of the finest restaurants of its kinda in the whole binational Paso del Norte area. Now, only if they would have the music at a lower volume...

My wife and I went for lunch at this place. From the moment we walked in, we could tell it was a unique spot. The staff was welcoming and very attentive. We ordered our meal based on the waiter’s recommendation, and we loved it—the meat was juicy and full of flavor. The place is small, but service is quick, and they have a shared table setup with other customers, which we actually enjoyed. We definitely recommend it and would come back to try more items from the menu.

Coming in seems like a shady place, since you come in from a back alley,but you get in to what seems like an old factory building, with a seating waiting area where they bring you coffee or tea,next to an old box elevator. The inside of the building seems quite artistic, they have an oper kitchen where you watch the chefs working. The restaurant is small, but comfy, with shared and private tables. What we tasted of the food was very good,very filling. And good Danish the day we went. Very good brunch experience. Highly recommend.
