It is indeed very popular. Often there is a line outside waiting to get in, but I was lucky and was seated at the counter immediately.
They have menus in English, but signs by the cashier state that they accept cash only, and that they do not accept dollars.
To drink I had "café con leche" (served in a glass as it is supposed to be served). It's something that you no longer see at many restaurants. It started with "caldo tlalpeño" which, next to tortilla soup, is perhaps the best known Mexican soup. You can't see it in the photo, but the broth was thick with shredded chicken, vegetables, garbanzos, and chile peppers.
The food was not gourmet. I wasn't expecting it to be. It was just basic Mexican cooking at a reasonable price. I would come back here again. The breakfasts sound good too, although I usually don't make it downtown that early in the morning.
