Love. Amazing food! I've been here about half a dozen times with different groups of friends and it has become everyone's most fav place. With a lot of great places in CLE and the westside that says a lot. The menu has two options of entrees and then in each category there are a bunch of choices. So Tamales and Taquitos (small flour tortillas with fillings that you put together similar to fajitas) with lots of unique fillings that you get to choose between.
Personally, I really love the tamales which are a much more filling dish than the taquitos. I'm not a big meat eater and although it may sound odd the curried cauliflower tamales are incredible. The meat items my friends have had also look fabulous and they almost licked their plates for every last drop. They also have lots of unique and interesting sides that are generous portions and so good. I've tasted many of them and sometimes think maybe I'll get a few sides for my meal and forget the entrees.
Now about their drinks and guacamole. Be still my heart. The flight of margaritas is an awesome way to try their very unique flavors -- they all are excellent. I was surprised to love the hibiscus and the pineapple and surprised that I didn't like the cucumber. My friends however picked the cuke as their fav so it really is each to their own. Now, the piece de resistance for me is the guacamole which seriously is the BEST guac I've ever tasted. Fresh, chunky and lots of it. They have many varieties and I could consume a dish by myself although I have always shared. My fav is the one with goat cheese. They have a house made salsa haberna that is good and hot and the chips seem to be house made. I've been once just for a very happy hour of margaritas (they do have good beers on tap/bottles and a long tequila list) and chips + salsa and guac. They have happy hour boar nachos which others assure me are fabulous.
Just once we had dessert to share. They offer one dessert which I believe changes but whatever it was that we had for my friend's bday was sooo good. The service is always good, servers are knowledgeable about the dishes and attentive.
No reservations although call ahead for parties of 8+. If there is a wait there is a large wrap-around bar and another in the back plus a long area across from that bar for overflow folks to sit and enjoy a drink and appetizer.
Great décor and awesome food. Brunch menu on Sundays. Very limited parking in the back but lots of safe street parking all around.
A fabulous addition to Lakewood and Cleveland. Run, don't walk for a great time!
