| - I didn't have high hopes when we walked in - although the place was packed, everyone was very young and the place felt more like a bar rather than a foodie destination. So, I really expected to sit, have a few Mexican beers, some basic tacos and be underwhelmed. Well, the opposite happened, we got seated at the bar near the kitchen. The menu was short. We started with guac and light homemade chips (good so far), then the hand held caesar salad. This is where the meal took a turn for the serious. OMG. I will be dreaming about this dish. sweet, spicy, salty and smokey in every bite. Textures smooth and crisp. Temperature warm and cold. wow! heaven! Then we had some cornmeal dredged fried cheese served on a delicious salsa (would have been better if the salsa was not so cold). Good, but not dream worthy. Then the flank steak which was served like a small portion fajita. The steak was stellar - the stuff with it, standard - all in all - yummy. The next big highlight - the churros. Crispy outside, light and doughy inside. Served with some sort of whipped (goat) cream? flavoured with bit of cinnamon and spice. Dreamy. We were served by the friendly bartender and greeted by all the staff and owners. The place has a nice, friendly vibe and lives up to the expression (which is used as the philosophy for the restaurant) "mi casa es su casa". We will be back.
