Description

Set on 2nd Avenue, this neighborhood eatery draws repeat visitors with a scratch-made menu featuring carnitas and al pastor tacos, birria nachos, and chilaquiles with a good kick of spice. The dining room feels quaint and polished, down to the silverware, though the kitchen's homelike pace means service can occasionally slow down when understaffed. High prices are a noted tradeoff, but the generous portion sizes and fresh flavors tend to justify the bill for locals seeking a comforting, well-spiced meal.
