Best bakery ever!! Close by and all take out, or you can stand up, but it is a pretty small place. Good pot pies, sandwiches, take out chicken noodle soup and the baked goods are out of this world.

Run by two sisters, very good authentic Mexican, not too expensive and good quantity of food. The mole sauce is out of this world, in my opinion. They have margaritas but they are the kind made with wine - no fancy drinks here.
