| - My first visit was for a quick lunch and I was pleased with how fresh the food was and how clean the place was. As someone who lived in Central Mexico, I can certify that the food is "authentic." They have no burritos or flour tortillas, which would make it unauthentic, however, they do have tortilla chips, which are uncommon in Mexico, so that's the only compromise. Their menu offerings also look authentic and inspired, so I'm not sure why so many Yelpers have commented that the menu is uninspired.
There were only five tables occupied when I visited, so the service was friendly and fast. I told both the host and server that it was my first visit, and they answered some of my questions about the place and made me feel welcome. But, they brought me a beautifully-presented tray of their house-made salsas without anything to try them on! I had no basket of tortilla chips or bread with which to try these salsas and my food was seasoned perfectly (i.e., not in need of any salsa), so I could not try the salsas and consider them for purchase at their front-of-store boutique. That was a missed opportunity for them. My Sopa de Tortilla was authentic, balanced, generous, and delicious. My Pollo Yucateco Pibil Taco was perfect: moist, generous, and flavourful chicken housed in fresh, house-made corn tortillas. I had a cup of their brewed Mexican Coffee and it was a good deal at only $1.75 and very heart-warming. I loved how their food was served on enamelware.
I will definitely return to try more of their dishes and have larger meals. Perhaps my opinions of the place will change when I try something more substantial.
