It is our favorite food place in Zacatecas when we travel. Yesterday I found myself in the difficult decision of whether to finish myself first, tinder or tongue. They are the richest chubby girls! Today I came back just to eat some tongue before returning to my city. DELICIOUS any stew you order Excellent price and quality of food!
The gorditas were very delicious, they were recommended to me and now I recommend them to you.
Delicious gorditas and excellent service. I really enjoyed it.
Very tasty, very friendly, clean, they take a while because they have a lot of orders, arrive early because they finish very early
An excellent molcajete sauce and very good seasoning
I visited Zac after 5 long years and I always crave gorditas since you really can’t get any in the USA. Cande was recommended by my cousin and I have to say that even though it’s such a small place, they are one of the best, if not the best I’ve had. Go early so you don’t have to wait!
The gorditas are delicious, since I tried them I fell in love with their flavor!
Very tasty gorditas with good stews, only if they are already at a somewhat high price, to take that into account
