 | 	- I wish I had two rating options for this one.  One for the stuff I liked & one for the stuff I didn't
I went here w/ das mann & the chilrens on Tuesday because I read how amazing & cheap this place was on the Yelp Review of the Day.  I walked out w/ a $50 food bill and some very interesting eats.
Dive - YES
Clean - EH (Don't use the bathroom)
Language Barrier - Heck yeah
Decent eats - Depends on your take.
The 14 year old man-child ordered steak.  (Me hungry, me want steak, me in growth-spurt).  The tween wanted chix.  I ordered a tamale, the yuca plate, and horchata.  Das mann ordered a tamale, two tacos, and some beans.  May I just say this Yuca was not the yuca I had had in my past.  While it was ok...it wasn't my thing; tasted like tater-tots.  The man-child LOVED these.  They were like giant french fries.  I wasn't expecting the huge chunks of pork on my yuca, but hey I don't read or speak Spanish, so what you get is what you get.  The tween's eyes exploded out of her head when she saw the huge-a-mongeous piece of Chicken on her plate.  The meals came out w/ a stack of home-made ultra-thick tortilla.  The tamales weren't the best I've ever had, but das mann love 'em.  The tacos, the tacos were amazing and incredilby fresh.  The cilantro & the lime!!!!  YUM!  Everything was really fresh.  The coleslaw was great and while the meal was very heavy you can't complain you didn't get more than enough to eat here.  May I just say, I don't know what they put in their beans but holy moly...these might have been the best refried beans EVAH!
While I wasn't expecting to drop $50, the kids did get some large portions of meat.  I guess for a family of four you can't really complain for $50.
If you decide to try the place out, go in with an open mind and enjoy the ultra-authentic food!
