Description
The kitchen is known for its unhurried pace and distinct sauces, pairing chicken empanadas and tacos with Aji Verde and Aji Criollo. The mole tamales are a quiet favorite, as are the enchiladas verdes, which feature a sweet, non-spicy green sauce served with sides of rice and beans. For a faster turnaround, locals suggest calling in orders old-school before swinging by.
