This place is pretty popular, and it was tight getting a seat on a Friday night, but thankfully there was only two of us and small table left in the back. The atmosphere is cozy, hip and modern Mexican, sometimes, it's nice being only six inches from your neighbouring table! And I'm glad we were able to sneak in, because everything was fabulous.
We started off the meal with homemade chips and salsa. I wish there was an endless bowl of each for me to munch on all day and all night. The salsa was bright and fresh with just enough heat to slap your tongue around. The chips were warm and crisp and the perfect vehicle to get the salsa to your month. Next came the chicken tostadas and ancho braise short rib tacos. The chicken tostadas came piled hight with guac and crema with some black beans thrown into the mix to give the meal some weight. The surprise of the dish though, the rice! I chased down every single grain of rice that was on that plate. The short ribs had a delicious depth of flavour that was balance by the pico de gallo.
My mouth is watering while I write this review just thinking of the salsa and rice. Next time, I'm going to have to wash all that delicious food down with a margarita!
