| - Well, as this place is 4.5 stars after 144 reviews, it's not like I am going to share anything that will ruin the secrecy of this place and just how great it is!
I had plans to bring one friend here who is Dia De Los Muertos obsessed. She blew me off, but I was so looking forward to it, I talked two other friends into joining me to check out a new spot.
The gal is a jamiaca fiend, and was thrilled with the drink. Having read reviews on the size of the horchata, I convinced the guy to share one with me, we could always get another if we needed it. (We didn't) WOW - no other horchata will ever measure up!
Yes, the salsa bar ROCKED! We sampled 6 or 7 of them. I could live off the jicama, cilantro, jalepeno and lime tastiness! And the hot red one that looked greasy had the most amazing heat/flavor ratio I could imagine ever encountering. Truly, the acme salsa!
Being indecisive, I went a la carte with the tacos. One each of the cochinita pibil, one chicken mole and one carne asada.
I was busy having a foodgasm with the cochinita when the gal freaked on her carne asada, making the guy have some - and they both agreed it is better than America's Taco Shop! (Mine had to sit and wait while I was having quality alone time with the last bites of the pork.)
I will say I wasn't thrilled with the mole. This is NOT a knock on how La Condesa does it - and if you're a mole fan, it may be amazing. I'd never actually had mole - turns out I am just not a fan of the overall flavor. But I love almost all Mexican food, and I love chocolate! How is this possible! Two rights making a wrong? Weird!
That said...I will be back. Over and over! This is definitely on the short list of places to have a quick, great meal in my hood!
