Phoenix is in for a ride with this spot serving some of the best authentic Mexican food in the city! The real question is what i HAVEN'T tried at this place that I didn't like!?! Talk about ordering the whole left side of the menu! In no particular order of favorites because it kept getting better and better with every plate they came out with.
Chilaquiles with verde sauce jump started my food journey in this place. This dish is actually quite simple to make but when every ingredient is fresh and homemade, you can really experience the complexity of flavors in this dish and every dish they serve.
Shrimp taco was really just life changing and I'll leave it at that! Some placed like to fry it to add texture, but it ends up being oily and overly dressed in sauce. They serve their shrimp tacos pan fried not fried and the dressing gives a great kick to the flavor of the shrimp!
Cochinita pibil taco is as good as you are going to find it in Phoenix. The juiciness of the pork marinate is really soaked up by their FRESH handmade tortilla. Their homemade pickled veggies on top adds a nice acidity to the fatty-ness of the pork.
Aguachile is no joke. Packs a lot of heat, acidity and freshness of the seafood!
Quesadilla - not traditionally made, so don't be surprised if you get more a taco looking dish. That is an authentic quesadilla with the rich flavors of the meat, the fresh cojita and pickled onions!
Their tequila cocktails are a great pairing to any of their dishes!
I will admit that I know the people the work at the restaurant and it can show bias in this review. Then you can also look at the fact that I live in LA and have tried out some of the better if not the best Mexican restaurants in the area that are serving similar dishes so I have a comparison or a standard to go by. You can really just go by the fact that hundreds of people have reviewed this place before me and have already raved about this place! So just call this review as an appreciation and gratitude of the service and quality food I received from a hardworking staff that wants to bring authentic Mexican food to a great city!
