Wonderful folks, and very savory offerings. It's in the Public Market, and that does add to the experience, because the indoor market's pretty cool. This is not gringo fare.

I tried the Pork Ribs in Green Chile. I was a bit worried it was going to be overwhelmingly hot given the pictures, but it was perfect. Excellent flavor!
