Parking was easy, strip mall, plenty of spots. This is a small restaurant off Maryland Ave over by the Deerhead hot dog place. The restaurant is no frills, maybe 13 or 14 small tables. Service was excellent, friendly, and accommodating. Here we go!!!!
I ordered a water, cool, and refreshing. They had some soda options, sangria, and agua frescas I believe as well. I stayed boring.
Chips & Salsa!!!!! Chips...house made chips, fried perfect, my favorite style chips. Salsa...although it kinda scared me at first being dark, it was outstanding. Fresh ingredients, pureed hard, I ran out of this stuff quickly. Rivals my favorite salsas!
I ordered the Torta Milanesa ($7.50). The bread was fresh, perfect size, and had crisp on both inside and out. The chicken was lightly breaded, cut into long strips, and was delicious. The cheese, lettuce, avocado, tomato, and jalapenos were portioned to get a perfect bite everytime. Rivals my favorite tortas!
I ordered tacos ($2) choosing Pastor, Chorizo, Cabeza, and Adovada. They do more choices on the weekend like barabacoa and carnitas. Pastor...seasoned perfectly, good char, with a little pineapple in there. The tortillas are hand made, soft, and flavorful. I love their tortillas!!! Chorizo...good char, solid flavors, could've used a bit more grease, almost dry but not. Cabeza...super fatty, earthy taste. This was not my jam, but I'm sure my buddy Alex would love it. Adovado...seasoned perfect, melt in your mouth meat.
I ordered a sope de tinga de pollo ($2.50). Chicken was good with a little smokey flavor to it. Tortillas was firm...
Read moreI've been going here pretty much when they opened and their food is fantastic. Everything is homemade right down to the refried beans an rice. Vere away from the pedestrian choices like the asada and pollo and dive into the rest of their selections and you won't be disappointed. The alpastor in tacos is my favorite and comes with lime segments and salsa verde. Burritos and quesadillas are HUGE enough to share with others. On the weekends, they serve special foods like barbacoa and tripe soup. They also have fresh juices every day and if you're lucky, they might have horchata. Highly...
Read moreWe’ve come to this family-run restaurant for years, and the food and service have always been consistently excellent. We ordered the tacos al pastor, Cubana torta, menudo soup, and consome soup. The two soups are only available during the weekend, but they’re both so flavorful, and the other taco options are also great. The tortas have huge portions, and they’re some of the best in the area. Everything is always so delicious, and the owners are also very friendly. Will definitely continue...
