Description
Run by a native chef-owner, this neighborhood joint pairs its plates with cold Mexican beer and mezcal. The menu highlights freshly prepared tacos, guacamole, and nachos served with a sharp Serrano hot sauce. Inside, the space is small and soundtracked by authentic Mexican music, though the tight seating layout can feel restrictive, particularly for plus-size guests. While some find the prices high for the portion sizes, the flavorful cooking makes this a popular draw late into the night.
