| - Better than I expected! Agree with another Yelper that said it's one of the better Mexican restaurants in town. Our favorite Mexican tends to be from casual joints (Los Gemelos, El Jalapeno, El Sabor), and this takes that same food quality and puts it in a nicer atmosphere with more options. It's also less greasy than some of our other faves, which is nice. Prices are very reasonable.
We had our standard "first time judgment" meals: one plate of varying tacos and one plate of other traditional favorites. The three tacos were outstanding (campechanos, al pastor, carnitas), especially the al pastor. Bits of pineapple added a superb sweet surprise alongside the crunchy, spicy bits. The sopes come with your choice of many proteins. I chose the al pastor and was glad I did. The beans played well with it. Sopes are fairly new to me, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. This seemed a little firmer than some others I've had. Harder to cut, but really tasty. I was excited to see a variety of tamales. I had a rojo with pork and chicken verde. Both were WONDERFUL. Light and fluffy. The chicken verde was my favorite. We skipped rice and beans, so can't comment on those.
The free chips and salsa were good (red mild salsa and green very spicy). Chips weren't greasy and tasted light and fresh. Would try a cocktail sometime. They have a good drink menu that's beyond the usual margaritas.
This is on our way home from work, so I think it's going to be a new favorite. Can't wait to try their other dishes. There was a chipotle shrimp dish that sounded really tasty, and the burrito at a nearby table looked great.
