Taquitos de Potato & Manchego Cheese [$4.25]

3 Per Order with Lettuce, Oaxacan Cheese, Mexican Cream, Salsa & Guacamole Grounded by a smooth filling of potato, taquitos arrived crispy and conveyed a subtle smokiness, the guacamole imparting a welcomed lushness to the dish.

Machaca con Huevo [$9.50]

Sauteed Shredded Beef with Eggs, Peppers, Onion, Tomatoes & Rice and Beans Machaca was satisfyingly-textured, with some bite to it, and came well-seasoned and appropriately beefy, a perfect match to the eggs. Lovely underpinning of spice here, and I definitely appreciated the brightness provided by the onions and cilantro too. I do love me some breakfast-y food at night.

The Agua Fresca de Sandia [$2.50]

Was sweet and thick, doing a pretty good job conveying the summer-y essence of watermelon.

Taco de Lengua [$1.95]

Tongue arrived in oversized chunks. Meaty, tender, and mildly-spiced, they really called for the cilantro-onion and the acidic zip of that salsa verde.

Taco de Camaron [$1.95]

Shrimp tacos conveyed a nice brine to 'em, the accompanying salsa giving up a well-placed bit of heat.

Taco de Pescado [$1.95]

The fish taco, meanwhile, was more restrained compared to the shrimp above, with a softer, more supple consistency and a nice crunch from the lettuce.

Taco de Pollo a la Parrilla [$1.75]

The chicken showed off a delightfully smoky depth that was evened out by the generous helping of cilantro piled up top.

Camarones a la Diabla [$14.50]

Shrimp Sauteed with Bell Pepper, Red Onions, Wine & Spicy Tomato Sauce; served with Mexican Salad, Rice, Beans and Home Made Tortillas Shrimp were slightly overdone, but not distractingly so. Taste-wise, they were spot on though, imbued with a mouth-watering smoky spice that just made sense with the veggies in the sauté. The rice and beans--usually throwaway at places like this--were on point as well, and enjoyable even just by themselves. Great salad, too.
