| - Just come.
This place is brand-new Mexican spot on the ever-popular Baldwin stretch and it is fantastic! Had lunch there today and couldn't have been happier.
The menu is smallish but interesting; it seems they also have a daily special that isn't on the menu. It consists of mostly tapas-type dishes and plates inspired by mexican street food, at very reasonable prices for the quality....its a great menu to order a bunch of dishes and share.
Today's special was queso fundido (~$8), a delectable combo of chorizo sausage, cilantro, melty cheese (and probably other things I've forgotten) served with 4 or 5 warm corn tortillas and pickled onions...it was to die for. I seriously considered licking the bowl in public. This would be an amazing starter to share as well, as long as you aren't territorial about your cheese like me ;)
I also had the beef flauta, which was perfectly crispy without being greasy, steak well-seasoned and topped with lettuce, crema and cotija cheese ($5). This went fantastically with the 3 house made salsas (none of which were overly spicy by my hot-freak tendencies but were pleasantly flavoured).
The beer (I think $7) was icy cold and a perfect accompaniment, especially since I sat on the patio, which is great to people-watch. I didn't try the margarita or Sangria but other people seemed to be enjoying theirs. The staff (including the owner, manager, chef) all interacted with the patrons and were lovely; service was phenomenal. I even got a sample of their CANDIED BACON, which has, I believe, maple syrup and jalapeƱos and was one of the best things I have ever eaten.
I'll be back soon!
