| - Absolutely delicious! Also I really appreciate them saying they are semi authentic Mexican food, honesty is important you know?
Walking in, the establishment is clean and bright with a flair of green decor and with plenty of space!
We were greeted and offered to try their agua fresca right off the bat, yes please! They had four flavors to choose from: pinapple basil, hibiscus, pepperment horchata, and watermelon. The drinks vary each day though.
I ended up picking the pinapple basil flavor for its refreshing yet mildly sweet taste.
I had the 3 tacos for 9.50, and it did not disappoint! One thing I noticed is that the menu incorporates Asian food, I was so excited to try their "kind of" fusion menu at that point. The three tacos I selected was the korean kalbi, pork belly banh mi, and carnitas.
The kalbi taco was my favorite, they marinated that beef with the best sweet flavor you can imagine. There is a generous portion too! It actually spilled out for me, but I didn't mind picking the spilt goods with my chips.
The pork belly banh mi taco definitely tasted like traditional banh mi sandwhich, minus the baguette and pate paste. The pork belly went well with the white radish/daikon and pickled carrots.
Now the carnitas, very tender and tasty! Not the best carnitas I've had, but it'll do.
You can also pick your sauces in the back left hand side. They come is squirt bottle, and there's enough for everyone! You can pick between salsa roja (spicy level 4), salsa verde (spicy level 6), and the salsa habanero (spicy level 9). The roja and verde salsa was not spicy at all to me, so it's perfect if you're not all about that spice. But the habanero kicked a good punch in terms of flavor and spice!
I liked how the staff came to check on us, asking if the food was alright. Keep it up! I can't wait to come back to try all the other tacos, and give a go at their churros... I will be back!
