The service is very good and the barbecue is delicious apart from the non-greasy consomme, it comes with vegetables and everything. Totally recommended just follow the signs

The barbacoa and pancita are among the best in the area, along with handmade tortillas, quesadillas, gorditas, and more. The place is spacious and has parking, the service is good, and the owner is always courteous. Be careful, the sale is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. The only downside is that it's hidden, but there are signs to guide you!

Very good, not greasy. Note they do not sell by the block, but by minimum weight a quarter
