Description
Chefs Maurilio and Hector draw from family recipes passed down in their hometowns in southern Puebla. Located on Second Avenue, this casual neighborhood spot focuses on generously portioned fillings. Options range from carnitas and fish to packed lamb barbacoa served simply with cilantro and onions. To finish them off, the sauce selection includes a spicy habanero red sauce and a rich peanut sauce.
