| - Damn those pulpo tacos tho! I don't understand how people can eat tako at sushi joints when there is pulpo prepared the Mexican way! It's so tender and juicy and it reminds me of the skin and fat of buffalo wings (none of that pesky chicken meat) but octopus is actually very low in fat! How do they cook it like that?
My friend invited to for lunch, and she got two pulpo tacos and one fish. I got one pulpo, one fish, and one shrimp. I should have just gotten all three pulpo. The fish and shrimp was good, but not mind blowingly better than other places I've had. But the octopus! Not only have I not seen it on menus as a hot dish or taco, but it was also prepared so well, with a crispy, yet not hard shell tortilla, and fresh cabbage/tomato/chipotle cream. Everything about it was perfect.
The chef/owner? was extremely nice and remembered my friend. She spilled some sauce on her white pants and asked for some soda water to try to clean it up. He didn't have any, so he went to the Super Burrito place across the lot and got some for her there. What service!
The only thing is it's a little pricey, but it is in the normal part of downtown and not the ghetto. It's across from Viva Las Arepas. Parking is easy, and more parking in the back as well. The inside is very bright and clean. Doesn't look or feel like a dive, though I'm not at all against going to those places either. Def gonna be back!
