| - This place is a jewel in the rough, and I think that a lot of people won't have the pleasure of discovering how good their food actually is. That's too bad, because this place has got some tasty treats waiting for you.
Came here with my Dad, and we had a really great meal. Their table side guacamole is great- nothing surprising, but it's nice that you can get extra jalapeño or whatever you want. I ordered the ostiones as an appetizer, and they were MAGICAL. White people, pay attention here: ANY TIME you are at a Mexican restaurant and you see 'ostiones', you need to ORDER THEM. Similar to 'shrimp cocktail', Mexican raw oysters are a completely different animal from their guerro counterparts. The ostiones came with a delicious habañero salsa, which MADE the experience. Seriously, this is one of those things that you need to try in order to broaden your world. Get your mind right, playa.
I ordered a steak, and it was exactly what I wanted. Their bisteka a la tampiquena is spot-on, perfectly seared skirt steak with fat onions, rice, and beans.
This is the sort of place that you need to come to if your only experience with Mexican food is a step up from Taco Bell. They have enough stuff to keep boring eaters happy, but they also have a few interesting offerings for the more adventurous-minded. Come and try something new- you might just love it!!!
