Our new favorite Latin place on Central. The food is amazing and the service is always great.
We've been to a few places in the city and declared this our favorite today. We usually get one platter and share it. Today we got two lunch specials @ 7.99 each. We thought it would be a smaller serving and we would need two. We were wrong. It was enough for two.
You eat first with your eyes and their plate presentation gets the meal going. It makes you almost feel bad messing it up. Almost ;) As far as flavor profile, I didn't grow up eating authentic Latin food, so I can't say if this is like Abeula used to make. I can say, for my American palate, it's amazing. We've had the ranchero sauce on steak and the poblano sauce with a platter. Both were tasty and needed nothing extra. The beans are darker than I've seen, but tasty. They have the crumbly cheese too.
We always check what other people are ordering too and the shrimp fajitas were ridiculous. Piled up on the skillet. Empanadas look good and the fried plantains are dark and crispy looking. We eventually want to try everything, but the menu is like a newspaper. Many pages.
Their tea is great, they have glass bottle Mexican coke, and of course the Michelada's. Please try this place if you're looking for a new place!!!
