Southwestern Fries-$7 these were tasty enough but $7
squash blossoms- deepfried and gooood. only came with 2 or 3 not enough to share.
Quesadilla- overly cheesie. strangely sub par.
Pros: the sweet potato tamale. great pork tenderloin, tuna tartare
Cons: pricey, not many veggie options.
Overall: we couldnt wait to return. i dream about these tamales at night.
