We are staying in the area for 10 days and on our first evening. We’re wandering around the neighborhood to get familiar and came across this Taqueria. The second we walked in the door we knew we’d found a good spot. Filled with locals all having a good evening out, enclosed patio, setting, a full bar with eating at the counter and an open kitchen, so you can see everything going on. Perfect! The menu is limited as you can see pictures, but everything is done to absolute perfection. I grew up in California and have eaten various forms of Mexican food my entire life. The Carnitas here were some of the best I’ve ever had. They all passed store was stunning, and are you even discovered something I’ve never had Campechano, which is a mix of Carnitas and chorizo. It was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious! The house margaritas were delicious and well-made in the traditional style. The service was friendly and quick. If there weren’t so many other restaurants nearby we would definitely be back… But you never know! they have a couple of locations so if you’re nearby, one of them, be sure to check them out, you won’t regret it.
