No frills Mexican cafe that serves tasty huevos rancheros, chicken taquitos with guacamole, carnitas tacos, and big bottles of Coke. Keep in mind, El Progreso isn't fancy--very basic, blue-collar place.

Love getting the huevous ranchero scramble along with either carnitas taco or bacon taco with a nachos 9 out of 10 times here. Sometimes I get the south dough and eggs or other items when I stop by latter when in the area.

Today my mom and I came to this restaurant to eat Mexican food. Today was happy Mother’s Day for Mexican moms. So I brought my mom and we both agreed that the food and service was great. I eat a torta (Mexican sandwich) and I very happy to say it was a real torta. For the first time in 5 years I had a real Mexican torta that reminds be for my beloved land Mexico. I really recommend this place to all.
