| - Blood Orange Margarita and Guac Sampler. Done. The smoked trout and bacon, goat cheese, and crab and corn guacamoles are so, so, so good. The blood orange margarita is also fantastic. Actually, all of the margaritas I've had here have been fantastic.
If you still have room after the guacamole, the taquitos are the way to go. If you don't know what a taquito is, think fajitas and you'll be pretty close. You get a plate full of meat/veggies/sauce, and a side of corn tortillas to build your own tacos. My favorites are the tuna (sushi grade, seared with avocado leaves and served extra rare), the coffee braised brisket, and the wild boar. Like a previous reviewer said, everything is pretty spicy, so if you're sensitive to that sort of thing, I'd proceed with caution. And when I say "spice", I don't just mean it'll burn your tongue, but that they use a lot of different spices. So if you have a sensitive stomach, again, proceed with caution. I don't have much experience with the "entrees", but from what I've seen I'd say stick with the taquitos.
For everyone else, the food is delicious and the servers are always super friendly. It's in a tiny old house, so you'll definitely need to make reservations. I called first thing on a Tuesday (they're closed Monday) for reservations that Friday, and there were only 4 left when I called. Something I stumbled on entirely by accident one time was that you can actually reserve the chef's table if there are only two of you. I didn't know that's what we were getting when I made the reservations, but it was awesome. We got samples of stuff that's not on the menu and the kitchen staff left you alone so you didn't feel like you were being pestered. It's a cool spot if you're going as a duo.
Happy hour has half-price margaritas and cheap guac! Totally worth making a trip for.
