āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø If youāre a fan of bold flavors and generous portions, run to La Perla Tapatia. Their ceviche mix (I get mine without tomatoes) is hands-down some of the best Iāve hadāsuper fresh with both fish and shrimp, perfectly seasoned every time.
Now let me warn you about the Molcajete Ranchero⦠Itās massive. Pretty sure itās meant to feed a family, but every time I order it, I take it as a personal challenge. Iāve never finished it in one sittingābut it always comes home with me and tastes just as good the next day. š„
