************************************Rough Gem Alert********************************
This isn't a fancy place and it's not your usual Mexican Style Restaurant. This is a small Puebla Style Restaurant.
What is food from Puebla?
I don't really know but what we tried tasted AMAZING!
There are lots of words or things on the menu that maybe you never heard of like Molotes, Tiacoyos, Huaraches, Chalupas and Huachitlacoyos. Don't worry about it because I think they all are some kind of fried corn or Masa Dough in some kind of various shape.
There are things on the menu like "fall off the bone" "Melt in your Mouth" Chicken in Spicy Peanut Sauce....That I enjoyed! The chicken was so tender and flavorful. The sauce was so yummy with an interesting hot pepper kind of tickle in your mouth. My plate also came with lettuce, tomato, avocado, rice, beans, soup and Maybe the BEST homemade hot steamy tortillas I ever had. I think the tortillas were actually better than the tortillas I had from the tortilla factory in Mexico. The tortillas were a little thicker and what was special is that they hugged the contents you put inside. (all that food is more than one person can eat and only was $10.00)
My husband had the Chorizo and Potato Stuffed Molotes, topped with crisp lettuce and shredded cheese in a tasty sauce ($7.00). A piece of steak was added on for $3.00 (total $10.00) I was told this plate was delicious and it worked really well all together. Steak was a little chewy but also was tasty. (what do you want for only $3.00))
I can tell you just from one visit that the prices are very low and the portions are very large but more importantly the food is delicious!
You do need to know that the menu is written first in Spanish with some English. The Family working there can speak English to answer questions that you may have.
On our visit service was efficient and friendly. We felt welcomed.
The low down.
This is not a fancy place and looks a little worn. Soccer is the theme of the decor.
On our visit the air conditioning wasn't on so it was uncomfortable to us but they wait to turn it on when it gets really hot.
At this time there is no longer a public restroom.
You need to bring cash to tip. (but it always better to use cash at small businesses because they need the money)
Tremendous Value Dining and a Taste of another Culture.
