I dropped in by myself on a business trip on a Wednesday afternoon. It’s not a massive space, but it wasn’t terribly crowded. The booths offer good privacy. The enchiladas were excellent and very well presented, not to mention reasonably priced for what I got. this place had a bit more ambition than what you will find in so many Mexican restaurants that are indistinguishable from each other. An excellent experience.
Still very good because great tortillas, beans, rice and salsa. Bean dip with chips and salsa is a big bonus. Unfortunately the carnitas was dry and not very good. I have had much better. I would say skip carnitas and go for Birria which is great. My wife ordered the enchiladas and they were amazing. Great sauce and tortillas with nice garnishes. Sauce is redolent with oregano and spice.
Staff was friendly and this new choice is welcomed in the area. The pre-meal chips likely from a bag and the salsa was very, very mild and lacked depth. Tried a shrimp dish (camarones ala diabla); the portion shrimp was good. The dish was just ok - very oily and non-traditional. Seemed a bit like an American fusion as it was strangely served with coleslaw and French fries. Not overly impressed but will try again with hope.
I had the Birria which was excellent. Melt in your mouth tender beef served with really good tortillas and some of the better rice and beans around. We went they were pretty new so not crowded. Service was excellent. Friendly, professional and prompt.
Fantastic food. Been here twice. Had birria, adovada and asada tacos, then quesabirria tacos. Five stars!
