| - We had been waiting for a long time for this little gem to open. The owner had told us he wasn't going to open the doors until he knew he had it right. After months of waiting, all the kinks were worked out and we finally got to try it out.
We went for an early dinner the second day they were open, so we weren't expecting perfection. However, we were not the slightest bit disappointed. We wanted to check out as many menu items as possible. Even though they had a shortened menu, it had a lot of options.
We started out with the queso, because, well it's queso. It was delicious! Nice and hot, but not spicy. We also had the guacamole, again because it's guacamole. It too was so flavorful and fantastic. I have been a fan of the de la Cruz fam for a long time and love their chips and salsa, which we also devoured. For our entrees, my husband had the carne asada, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I had the shrimp tacos and was a little nervous, because I know how often restaurants get very stingy with the shrimp. That was not the case this time. Lots of big shrimp, flavored with veggies and some kind of aioli type of sauce. Delicious!!!! The refried beans were great, the rice was nice and moist and flavorful. It was a fantastic meal. We couldn't be more excited to finally have a real, authentic, and delicious Mexican food place up here!
