The pambazo de papas con chorizo was delicious. The free salsa with chips was also some of the best in the city . The owners/cooks are very friendly and were checking in on us frequently.

Their enchiladas verdes are my favorite. Be careful though, the green sauce is pretty spicy . Make sure to try it with pollo or chorizo for maximum deliciousness.

El Habanero specializes in the pambazo , a sandwich where the bread has been dipped in a spicy salsa and then griddled.

For light, but filling summery fare, try pozole verde, a chicken + homily stew . Even better, it's their old family recipe .

Miguel Lopez

This corner Gem is absolutely delicious, the Pambazo and Pozole were so delicious.
