Casual place with great food and friendly and efficient service. We had Sunday brunch at 11:15. Place was not too busy at that time, but pretty full when we left around 12:30. We found easy street parking within a few blocks. Well worth a trip. Beakfast burrito was a very generous portion and really good.

This place is amazing! Weekends are great because you can choose from their delicious brunch options or their regular menu which has just as many delish options. Their juices are so fresh, the empanadas are heavenly—everything we ate was amazing! So worth the trip and will be back often!
