My family comes from Mexico. I completed a study-abroad college semester in Mexico. Having eaten authentic Mexican food my whole life, I refuse to go out for Mexican food. But when I saw Martha's place, it reminded me of a distant memory--sitting with my grandfather while he did business in Spanish and us kids were kept occupied with a plate full of the best food! Those places were the best and so was Martha's.
I'm picky about my barbacoa and my sopa. I'm also picky about the way some cooks use cilantro. Martha's rice was perfect. Her beans were home made, the barbacoa was so flavorful and the cilantro chicken dish was seasoned so well, I forgot I was eating cilantro. Her cooking exceeded my expectations and my family will begin flooding her place.
My grandfather passed, at 101, and my grandmother at 92, both within the last two years. This place brought me back to a time that was very sentimental, while eating amazing food. Thank you, Martha! We will be back. Often.
