| - While on vacation a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I found this amazing place. It is a little tricky to find, but don't give up...it is well worth the effort!
We started with the shrimp tacos, which are absolutely the most incredible that I have ever had. We then enjoyed the Al Pastor tacos, followed by the carne asada plate. This meat...I mean, I don't understand how it can have such amazing flavor. So I ask John and David, the owners (and lifelong friends, it turns out), and they tell me that they are obsessed with finding the best beef, and that the carne asada is so amazing because it came from a cow that had been raised on a farm in Cali, grass fed only, and butchered within a few days of me having it served to me. Unbelievable. Seriously!
The crazy part is, I hadn't even tasted the most delicious thing on the menu, the Cochinita Plate. Braised pork covered in red onions. When I got it, I started removing what I perceived to be too many onions. John, the owner, watches me do this and politely says, "You're going to want to eat ALL OF THOSE". Haha...I thought wow, he thinks he knows me...and I tell him that I like onions okay, but not that much...and then I tasted them. Holy Moses!!!! Probably the best thing I have ever eaten in my entire life!!! As I'm piling the onions back on, he just smiles...and I realize that he's just happy to share some of his favorites with others.
I asked for 2 more plates to go...knowing I would start craving it later, and left perfectly satisfied. I happened to be in Vegas with my brother again yesterday, and so if course I had to take him...and he, of course, is now addicted as well. Nice job, gentleman...you free me away from the buffets on the strip, and I may never go back. Thank you!!!
