| - I'm slobbering as I am writing this review...
We passed this little hole in the mole (pronounced however you want). Do not turn into the corner gas station-there is no way unless you go over the bump.
We're not too familiar with Oaxacan style cuisine but now we are hooked!
I walked up and was greeted by the owner who was overwhelmed by the walk-ins and take-out orders. He was pleasant and apologetic about the wait. I didn't care, coz I had time to digest the menu a bit. I've never heard of...molote? Tlayudas?
Hubby, a creature of habit, went with what he knew-carne asada burrito. He said it was good, but he wanted more ingredients in there.
My little cutie pie ordered 2 fish tacos. He ate everything! "What I like about this taco is the fish inside!" He pointed to the moist and flaky center.
I wanted to order everything! Okay, I didn't, but I wanted to. I got the tacos al pastor, lengua and tripas. I was so tempted to try the cabeza and menudo. No one would help me eat that, so I passed for now. The al pastor pork was very well marinated and spiced. The lengua didn't have much taste or was it tasting me? It was so tender, nevertheless. I have to go back and get the tripas again. I must have put too much salsa in there and couldn't taste it. Molote...that was crunchy fried masa on the outside and pillow soft chorizo inside. The food came with two kinds of salsas, a guacamole sauce, and a crema with some seasonings for the fish tacos. I love the side of charred sweet onions and halved jalapenos.
We had the pecan horchata and little cutie pie had Sprite to drink. There is nothing like creamy home made horchata. *stomach grumbling*
As we were driving away, my little cutie pie said "I could eat another fish taco." My hubby and I looked at each other in agreement and said "Yeah, me too."
