Due to the great reviews, we opted to check out this place for our Friday night dinner. The place was small and indeed a hole in the wall restaurant. It is clean but quite small place.
We ordered 2 enchiladas in chili verde sauce and 2 enchiladas in mole sauce ($10), pozole ($8), Carne Asada torta w/ fries ($7 + $1.50 for fries), Arabe Quesadilla ($5.50) & Esquites ($3.50) for party of 4.
Here are our comments on the food we ordered:
1) Enchiladas in Chili Verde - This one is awesome! The chicken is flavorful and the green sauce is excellent with great kick.. not too spicy but just right. We all loved this one!
2) Enchiladas in Mole sauce - I thought this one was great too. The hint of sweetness with the combination of different spices sure made the enchilada great. My son and I loved it but my husband is not a fan.
3) Pozole - This is good as well but wouldn't say it's the best I've had. I did enjoy the flavor of the broth but wasn't a big fan of the chicken because it was a little tough and dry.
4) Carne Asada Torta - My husband did not like this one at all. He said it was bland and the meat was dry and no flavor... will not be ordering this for sure in the future.
5) Quesadilla Arabe - Both my son and husband thinks this was bland as well. Nothing special and will not be ordering this in the future as well.
6) Esquites - Elote in a cup.. this was alright. I was a little disappointed on this as I was really hoping that this will be good coz I love elote. The lime and cotija cheese was overpowering everything. I can't barely taste the corn and the mayo due to the sour taste from the lime and salty taste of the cotija cheese. I will not be ordering this again.
Overall, this was not a bad place if you are craving for a good enchilada and not feeling Roberto's or Don Tortaco. I do feel that given the average size servings, this place is a little too expensive for me. We won't be frequenting this place.
