| - If you are looking for a restaurant sign that says "La Carnita", you won't be able to find it right away. Instead, look for a restaurant painted in all black, with a Mexican Day of the Dead looking skull on the front. Yep, this place is hipster all right!
I went here for a Sunday night dinner, and it was still fairly busy. We ended up sitting at the bar to eat. We tried their Mexican street corn, it is to die for! It's basically grilled corn on the cob drizzled in an amazingly delicious sauce and dusted with paprika. It's definitely one of their signature dishes. Then, we tried four of their tacos - In Cod We Trust, Pollo Frito, Beef Cheek, and Carnita. My favourite one is definitely the Pollo Frito. It comes with fried chicken pieces on a bed of cabbage and salsa. The chicken is so flavourful, it's hard not to go for seconds on this one.
Also, I would recommend trying their cocktail drinks. I had the Sweet Meesh, which is Mexican Rosee d'Hibiscus beer poured over agave, and the glass is rimmed with organic sugar. It's a nice sweet finish to the meal!
