Overall, the food is great for the price. However, it is on the salty side. Also, the dessert selection was lacking. I would recommend this place if you want a quick taste of Michoacán's traditional cuisine.

Great traditional Mexican food, if you love pozole, corundas, chilaquiles, huchepos, menudo and that kind of food, you'll have a great time here. It's spacious and not as pricey. The torillas freshly made in there are awesome!!
