OMG Stop it. Been in the bay 6 or 7 years and havent had Mexican food this good. Ive gotten close but no cigar. The bean dip for the plantains was sending me over the edge. I was in heaven. It was very Cubanesque. Transported to Miami. ...
No frills and amazing food. Our new favorite tacos on the island. Flavor is so good. Keep doing whatever you are doing!
The margaritas were to die for and that burrito mustve been at least a foot long. The meat was delicious but I had to cut it in half because it was too much food for one sitting.
This was the first time I visited this place and I loved it. Their mole is authentic, really good I would say from Puebla. The michelada was good, a bit too much chile on it though. ...
