This is my kind of place. They do what they do - they do it well - they hope you enjoy... that's it and it's that simple. It is authentic and unpretentious.
They do molcajetes here. I guess the molcajetes is the cooking/serving vessel made from volcanic rock. You have your choice of steak, chicken, shrimp and I think they had octopus. It comes with cotija cheese, cactus leaves, onion, jalapeno, tomatoes and maybe a few other things. The best part is the sauce. It really ties the dish together.
I had the combo; steak, chicken and shrimp. The steak was a little tough and not to flavorful. I could have done with out that. It didn't matter thought the sauce made up for it. It was a big dish - big enough for 2.
The sauce really was that good. It is like an enchilada sauce but with more flavors. I think I tasted a hint of chipotle. It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. It really was just a bunch of stuff in a heavy hot bowl... but the sauce... makes it MOLCAJATES! That sauce was so good you could have dropped some cat turds in there and it would have been good!!!!!!!!
I really liked it. It was different. It was NOT some half ass Mexican dish served with some rice and beans.
When we ere leaving - they actually said thanks for coming in. (that is a hint to some other restaurant owners)
It is worth the trip to the east side!
