| - Went here a couple of weeks ago on a weekend at about 3:30-4'ish. There were a few people in there but it wasn't packed. I had the Sopes, (Sopes -Three handmade tortillas gorditas, lightly deep fried. Topped with chorizo, carne asada or pollo asado.) with carne asada a taco, basically, but with a thicker, fried corn tortilla, complete with onions, cilantro, etc. No sissy lettuce and tomato on these tacos. It also came with beans and rice (some of the better rice I've had, I find it always to be dry and bland, but I like flavor) I finished 2 of them (out of the 3 I had), but couldn't handle eating anymore. My boyfriend had a dish that was even better than mine. I can't remember the name of it, but I'm waiting for him to answer me so I know what it is. - Now I know! It was the Steak Picado- (New York steak in small chunks, sautéed with onions, cilantro, jalapeños, tomatoes and mixed with Spanish & verde sauce.) I remember, it was nice chunks of meat in a red sauce (not mole, not chile colorado), I took a bite of it, and the meat was incredibly tender, not the dry, in the crockpot for 6 hours, shredded tender, the tender that only comes from a good piece of meat. It yields slightly, but as soon as you bit in, it's pure, soft, moist bliss. And no gristle! Their handmade tortillas are also very, very good. I watched the nice lady make tortillas the whole time I was there, she was a busy lady!
We finished it off with the fried ice cream. To me, it left more to be desired. The coating seemed...almost stale, it was hard to chew and the ice cream was just plain vanilla ice cream. I heard the table next to us order the fried banana after the waiter's suggestion, they seemed satisfied with it and finished the whole thing. All in all, I will definitely go here again, just on the Steak Picado alone.
