| - Smoke: It is right by the waterfront, but easily passed up due to a small, unlit sign. The interior décor is a refurbished storefront with hardwood and modern vibe. As far as drinks go, its byob. I did not know that, next time. The aqua fresca is awesome if you have ever tried one, its cucumber juice with a hint of sugar. Super awesome. The horchata (rice milk and cinnamon) is also delice.
For an app, we got "Frito Pie" which is fritos topped with salsa, guac, sour cream, beans and some other junk. It was delightful, and filling for one person. The mixture of flavors was perfect.
We ordered a variety of tacos, with myself ordering the "philly", a brisket-esque taco that utilizes Smoke's barbequing skills. Once again, a plethora of flavors to satiate the pallet, with a decent sized, hand made tortilla, just slightly burned to perfection. My other taco was a spicy chicken variety, with apples in it I believe. The fruit really complemented the protein, though I would say the philly was my favorite by a marginal amount. We also ordered the mac and cheese with Chorizo, which is a must have. I do not remember what sort of cheese, but it was very wholesome, not your typical processed American cheese. This was quality Mac if I do say so myself, and most definitely worth ordering. The mixture of flavors make me want to return, with a case of Tecate, an empty stomach, and penchant for sampling the rest of the menu.
