| - It's always nice to see locally owned establishments operate in that whole area of P83 that's mostly littered with chain restaurants. Revolu specializes in Mexican street food with modern twists. It's a cool setup with nice décor and friendly servers that I'm hoping will do well in this area.
For us, personally, the food is a bit of a mixed bag.
We started with the guacamole, which included chips and a couple of decently flavored salsas. The guac itself was just kind of bland, drawing comparisons to what might be found at Chipotle. We also ordered the elote off-the-cob, which tasted okay, but was on the drier side and not as creamy as what is the norm. I'm not sure if this was intentional or a mishap, so results may vary.
As for tacos, from what we tried, the best was, oddly enough, one that wasn't even a traditional taco. The piggy in a poncho, which is a bacon-wrapped fried hot dog, topped with some Oaxaca cheese and chipotle aioli was kind of a surprise to both of us. The asada and pastor tacos were a bit of a disappointment, unfortunately. The asada was very wet, coming off more like what would be found in a bistec ranchero, while the pastor was just a bit too greasy for our tastes. Clearly, there's both positives and negatives to be found within their taco options.
My girlfriend ordered a bowl of pozole as well, which was recommended by the lady who seated us. She gave her seal of approval, although note that it's only available during certain times/days.
For dessert, the churro-wich is excellent, which is basically Mexican chocolate ice cream sandwiched between flat churro-styled dough. It works incredibly well and was probably the best part of our meal.
In comparison to a lot of other places in this area, you can do a lot worse than Revolu. And while the food didn't really offer anything even remotely memorable aside from their dessert, they offer plenty of other options that might be worth experimenting with in the future.
Recommended to check out.
