You could taste a little lime? Very creamy and fresh tasting, with authentic cheese. The Tres Leches cake was nice and milky, but still had a light texture, and the topping was fluffy and fresh tasting. Hoping for a pork addition to their menu. Carnitas maybe? I didn’t have e time to take photos because we gobbled up the...
