| - What are you doing here? Seriously. How did you find this place? It's sort of off the beaten path, no? Well, it's good that you did find Pitic. You are in for some good eating.
This is a REAL Mexican restaurant with real Mexican food where real Mexicans would be happy to eat. Even the signs and menus are completely in Spanish. Luckily I was able to translate "Enchilada" and "Taco" and most of the other menu items.
The food was prepared expertly and served very hot...and delicious. I tried the Carne Asada. It wasn't seasoned much, but that's the norm at these type of restaurants. And because it wasn't hiding behind a lot of seasoning, I could taste that this was quality beef. The refried beans were addicting. The guacamole was chunky authentic...and spicy. Even the tortilla was toasted up perfectly with a little bit of crispiness to it. Muy autentico!
Oh yeah, the salsas here are FANTASTIC! I would go back just to eat chips and salsa. I started out eating a chunky salsa made from very hot green peppers. First bite I thought, "Ow, that's hot! ...But wow that's good!" So, I took another bite. And another. And another.... So hot. So good. After burning my mouth for a while, I noticed a dark red salsa at the other end of the table. This is a smoky red pepper salsa with about a medium heat. It's even more addicting than the other. Very good! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
I really like this place. Friendly staff and really quaint inside--just felt like I was sitting in my aunt's kitchen or something. Very pleasant atmosphere. I'm not around this part of town much, so I don't know how often I'll be able to return to Pitic. However, I believe I'll just have to make a special point to return. I'm already looking forward to it.
