Hello, I searched the delivery platforms to get 2 enchiladas w/tomatillo sauce. I found that they charged $17 each and decided to order by phone and pickup myself. So I did. When I got to the restaurant to get my order, the lady took so long on the computer, put the bill on and cancel, put the bill on and cancel. I was wondering why it was taking so long. It was just 2 enchiladas. Well, she was searching the platforms as I did and she charged me $17 per each as Uber, Doordash and Postmates who typically mark up the items to their benefit. I found this lady actions so despicable, I felt like not taking the items and leave them with the food already made, but I am not that person. I see why people are becoming so mean and dishonest.

You won't be...
Read moreWe’ve been three times now. Lured back by the fresh-fried tortilla chips my daughter requests at least twice a week. The mild green salsa will suit any palate, but the red has a great kick and is the better of the two in my book!
The gordita de lengua is the star for me so far: the masa is perfectly fried and generously filled with a balanced mix meat and fresh veggies. The carnitas version is right behind it. Cold aguas frescas hide in a corner cooler, and the opposite wall stocks the usual Jarritos, Mineragua, and Sangría.
It’s a tiny spot with just a couple of tables and there’s no sign above the storefront, only on the window, so look closely. Ahtziri has become our favorite low-key stop for honest Mexican fare in Boca, and we hope it...
