| - To be fair, I judged this place as "too hipster to be really good Mexican" before even trying it, and wow was I ever wrong. And I take it back: the decor was beautiful and clean and the food was fantastic. It's is a fun spot in Chinatown, and we only had to wait a few minutes to get a table even if the pace was packed. Staff is great, both the host and our waitress were perfect, attentive, and really friendly.
The food: we had the mushroom quesadilla, the beer battered shrimp tacos, the tempeh tacos. Tempeh was deliciously marinated (seriously, tasted like chicken), the mushrooms as well were spot on, even if a bit heavy. We also started with the best refried black beans I have ever had (we all agree) and the most delicious roasted beet salad that, as a cook, surprised me. I will have to try that. Sweet but also smokey.
Drinks were good, menu was small but tasty. Only comment that we all had was that we left feeling like the meal sat really heavy and it's still digesting in my stomach.. but now I definitely know where to go when I am craving this again. Oh, and the place is quite tiny.
