Soy cliente frecuente justo por la atención y el sabor de los alimentos. Cambio de nombre temporalmente pero su nombre hoy día y desde que lo conocí es "Antojitos Erika" Las tortillas hechas a mano están bastante grandes por lo que 1 taco puede ser suficiente de almuerzo. Lo que más recomiendo es la Pancita o Menudo, los tacos de arrachera y las gorditas de chicharrón con quesillo. El agua de horchata o el jugo de naranja recién hecho son la opción para beber
