| - I almost feel useless writing this review, I think everyone has said it all. But still, I liked it just that much that I want to have my say anyway!
I had one shrimp taco and one pibil taco. The pibil was...... just... so, so so so good. It made me want to exit through the kitchen and shoot the chef a la Johnny Depp (*i will not shoot any chefs, please do not report me). The tortillas were just right, and I already want another one.
The shrimp taco.... I hate to say it but it WAS bland. Not bad, just not very flavorful. I poured on a bunch of the Cilantro Cream salsa, which didn't add much. I'll stick with the pibil!
On to the salsas: Believe the hype over this strawberry salsa. Who the heck thinks these things up?? Regardless, it's brilliant and I hope they start selling it by the jar. I was super excited about the cilantro cream, but it fell a little flat. Like the shrimp tacos, it was good, just not filled with flavor. The only other salsa I had was the plain old salsa, and it was really great as well.
And as for the horchata, I have never had horchata like that. It really was delicious, but just so sweet and rich that I don't think I even finished 1/4 of it. And for some reason, you can't get a smaller size. But for a few sips after your meal, mmmmmmmmmm.
Dave B is right about the price. BUT, we each got 2 tacos, and neither one of us finished them both. I really think that splitting a 2 taco meal, combined with the DELICIOUS tortilla chips, is more than enough for 2 people.
As others have mentioned, the artwork is just stunning. I love Day of the Dead art, and these were beautiful.
In short, the Yelpers are all right. Just go, and thank us later.
