I reserve 5 stars for meals that are exemplary. This "gourmet" taco shop is truly that. Every bite is a flavor party, including the array of succulent salsas ranging from chipotle to creamy cilantro. The spicy jalapeños are truly spicy, turning me into a fire-breathing dragon for moments after I ate them.
This restaurant does justice to vegetarians, all veggies are sautéed with care and attention to spices. The mole nearly made my partner dance, dark and intricate like a Spanish tango. My Santisima quesa was a revelation, full of flavor and topped with Mexican crema, a thick corn crust that managed not to be greasy.
And the horchata? It's the real deal. We shared a margarita that tasted natural and refreshing, not a bottled mix in the house.
