The highlight of my order was definitely the Horchata (drink made with cinnamon, rice, milk)
Everything else was typical Latin cuisine
The sandwiches looked like they were da bomb, the way they grilled the bread and all. I can't wait for that to go in my gullet during my next visit.
TIPS:
– Make sure you order to stay, if you want to, because they assume you are going to go if you don't mention
– Ordering out is probably better anyways, unless you're going in for a quick lunch. There are literally six seats. You'll be much more comfortable at home.
– If you can, call ahead. They do the cooking on the premises and you can wait awhile during the busy hours or if you have a large order
go-to spot for fill you up latin food. steak with rice and beans is a go-to on their menu, and I love their latin burger which is smothered in some kind of spicy mayo. I do not understand why the delivery minimum is so high, but whatever, it gives me an excuse to order a side of guac or maduros. no frills for sure but delish.
I'm kinda mixed about this place.
Firstly, they have a steam table full of roasted main proteins (fish, chicken, pork, etc), then there's a menu of Mexican offerings… burritos, tacos, etc.
I ordered a pork burrito with no rice and watched the server go over to the roasted pork, pull off some large chunks, then put them on a tortilla. He then loads it up with a large amount of black beans and adds some sour cream and quac. This was served with some lettuce and pico de gallo on the side. I had to request a side of salsa, which was decent
Right off the bat the burrito began disintegrating because of the wetness of the beans, so I had to revert to using a knife & fork (no biggie). But basically the whole thing was overpowered – taste-wise- by the beans. And the pork was in big pieces with crackling roasted skin, which normally I'd love on its own, but was a bit odd in terms of a burrito filling where the pork is usually more delicate. I didn't even sense there was sour cream or guac., so I knocked off a star because of muddled sloppiness in design.
But otherwise it's a nice, clean bright place and the other offerings looked very good. They just need to work on balancing the different components of the burrito so all have a chance to shine.
And having re-fried beans would be a nice alternative.
Maybe its the language barrier but I find the employees here to be extremely rude. This is the third Mexican place I have been to in that vicinity and the workers are consistently mean. No thanks.
