Best Mexican around. For appetizers my wife had the sopes and I had the Oaxaquenos tamales. Both were cooked perfectly and the flavors nicely balanced. My wife had a carnitas dish for her main course that was a mix of seasonings and pineapple. The pork shoulder was a little dry for my tastes, but it was not bad. I had the steak nortenos which was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and nicely seasoned. The sides of refried beans were the best ever. At most Mexican restaurants, the refried beans are an afterthought and often have the consistency of wall paste. These were creamy and not all overseasoned. Nor were the smothered in cheese or cream. Dinner for two with appetizers and dessert will cost about 30 per person before tip. The restaurant in BYOB and there is a liquor store a block away if you did not bring your own bottle.
