We ordered Christmas Tamales from Libertad and I decided to take my husband there for brunch and to pick up the tamales. I'd been there twice before with girlfriends for brunch. Once again it was outstanding, amazing food and very friendly service. We had the Pan de Avo, Panqueques, plus sides of Crispy Potatoes (the crispiest EVER!!!) and Bacon (with a lovely drizzle of maple syrup on them). Everything was just perfect! Will definitely be back again and again.

The BEST food and ambiance. Our waitress was wonderfully attentive and took my dairy intolerance to heart as she explained the menu and double checked I was OK with the caramel in my latte having residual dairy. Food and coffee were to die for. Loved the vibe. We were really happy we came.
