This is one of our favorite local restaurants.My favorite appetizer is the queso fundido, melted cheese with chopped chorizo and spices. It has a little heat and is delicious with chips. For an entree, try the carnitas plate. The pork is slow-cooked to render the fat and then beautifully seasoned. The dish comes with a generous portion of pork, three tortillas, pico de gallo, one jalapeno, rice, and refried beans. A feast for a very reasonable price. As shown by the photo attached, I request shredded lettuce, sour cream, and an extra jalapeno in place of the rice and beans. The service is friendly and efficient even when they're busy. UPDATE-1: They are currently closed on Sundays. UPDATE-2: Had queso fundido as an appetizer and flautas with rice and beans as my main. You get two chicken and two beef flautas, but you can request that they all be one or the other (I recommend the chicken). Besides dipping the flautas in the guacamole, sour cream, or salsa provided, I found dipping them in the queso fundido to be delicious. UPDATE-3: My wife usually orders three chicken-based à la carte items: a taco, an enchilada, and a quesadilla and takes the leftovers home for a second meal. They reheat beautifully. UPDATE-4: Although this is one of our favorite and most frequented restaurants in Syracuse, there are a couple of items I don't recommend. The first is the ground-beef. To my taste, it's a bit bland, and watery. In contrast, the dishes recommended above contained beautifully seasoned shredded chicken or pork. The second is the chili relleno. In my opinion, the pepper is undercooked. In fact, a knife it's usually needed to cut it. Also, It might benefit from more cheese placed inside the pepper.
