From the moment we stepped foot at Ladera, we were in love. The place is gorgeous. We sat outside on a hot summer night, and we were comfortable and amazed by the beautiful decor.
For starters, I ordered the elote. You can never go wrong with elote. It wasn't too heavy on the sauce and cheese like some elotes which I loved. We had the guacamole which was just okay - a little bland for my taste but still worth getting. For my main dish, I had the cochinita pibil which I loved. It came in a mountain of pork deliciousness, warm tortillas and the best black beans ever. It was a huge dish. It tasted just as good the next day. My boyfriend ordered the chiles rellenos which he really enjoyed. For a vegetarian dish, it was amazing. I tried one of their carne asada tacos which I thought was just okay - it was a little dry so I think I would definitely stick with their main dishes next time. I had their delicious margaritas too.
We loved this place so much that we came back a few days later for brunch. Definitely get the chilaquiles and the barbacoa hash. They are both amazing dishes. My sister ordered the french toast. It is not your typical french toast. It had coconut which I am not a fan of but I was surprised at how delicious it was. My sister's boyfriend ordered the burrito which he loved as well.
If I could give half stars, I would definitely gives this place 4.5. The service was great. Everyone was wonderful and attentive despite the busyness. The prices are great and worth it. We will definitely be back!
