“ This place is cramped , loud , full of Latinos and amazing!! It is okay to way in, but sit at the bar. And be okay with people reaching over you for their take out and other stuff. But if you are ordering out just order and pro tip wait outside it it is crowded only if you ordered something that wasnt on the lunch special which is affordable and authentic. Understand this is authentic in ever way from the servers to the little abuelita cooking in the back. Dont mess this up peopletalking to some This is the last cuchi fritos on the west side. It is delicious affordable and real. ”
