They use Xacaca Cheese, which stays melted and soft for around a minute. So, if you do not assemble your tacos right away, the cheese becomes a petrified Forest in no time, and hard to get it right. Stick to the Alambre plates as the tortillas come separate, therefore better to manipulate. The moral of this story is that the food here wins,...
