| - So good!!!
I am pretty familiar with a wide range of different foods, but Mexican food is one that eludes me. All I ever associate Mexican food with is tacos. And then I think "well I've got an Old El Paso kit at home...."
But this place is tucked away on a side street midtown, and such a hidden little gem. Great date night spot if you want somewhere quieter, with no hipster line-ups, and snooty staff.
For drinks, I got a delicious strawberry margarita and my boyfriend got a Paloma (tequila and Mexican grapefruit pop) which he loved! Later, we ordered some shots of tequila to sip too (yes, good tequila is so very sippable!).
For food, we shared an order of:
1) Guacamole with freshly fried chips (which they refilled once, and were AMAZING)
2) Pork tacos (really, really good -- simple, and allowed the pork flavours to shine)
3) A tamale (which was meh.) I mostly got it cause it reminded me of a Chinese zongzi.
The guacamole is some of the best I've ever had. It tastes like it was made on the spot. It was a huge portion and so glad the chip basket was refilled! Would definitely come back again for another Mexican craving :)
