The star of the menu is undoubtedly their signature gorditas, made from both white and blue corn masa, delivering a deliciously earthy undertone that perfectly balances the generous, flavorful fillings. Customers rave about the perfect texture — crispy on the outside yet tender and pillowy inside — that only a skilled hand can achieve. Alongside the gorditas, their quesadillas and sopes burst with vibrant, savory guisos (fillings) that range from silky cheeses to richly spiced meats, artfully seasoned to create layers of mouthwatering complexity.

Las mejores quesadillas, gorditas y sopes que he probado en Bernal, siempre que visitamos este pueblo mágico es una parada obligada. Es un pequeño local que se ubica sobre lanavenida principal de entrada, no tiene mucho estacionamiento al frente pero a 20 metros hay un estacionamiento público. La comida tiene muy buen sazón, los guisos son muy variados, las tortillas, gorditas y sopes los hacen al momento y son super ligeras. Bebidas tienen café de olla, agua y refrescos. El lugar es pequeño con apenas 3 mesas al interior y un paral exterior. Los precios son super accesibles, creo que solo aceptan pago en efectivo. Puedes ordenar para comer en el local o para llevar.
