Came here for lunch on Thanksgiving eve about an hour before they were to close.
The chef (who we did not know at that time) told us right when we walked in that there was a limited menu and our server would let us know what. We ordered only to have the chef come out and insist that we needed to get the pastry puff. She sold it well so we agreed.
The food was excellent! Beautiful flavors and made well. Here's what we had:
1. Chili + empanadas
2. Burrito
3. Pastry dish
4. Raspberry lemonade
Because we agreed to order one extra dish we had not planned to but believed her about the goodness of the dish we ended up having to take home so much food and had no room for dessert. Everything tasted great though.
We had plans to visit another place for dessert but chef Mayra was very "hard sell" about having dessert or buying a pie. I would agree with reviewer Molly from Berkeley. She needs to chill and let her food do the talking. One chef visit was good, coming back a second time was overkill. Suggestion: They should have a "chef's favorites" or "chef's recommendations" listed so diners know what food to order rather than have the chef come out.
Would recommend this place for the food and service but the chef visits needs to be toned down to make it a more un-coerced dining experience.
