"Housed in a bright corner panadería in North Corona, this iteration of Mi Dulce Mexico paired colorful cases of pan dulce with an adjacent steam table of taco fixings and a black bulletin board of dayglo tags advertising ever-changing daily specials cooked up by América Rodriguez. I found the aguachiles to be the most spectacular offering — giant oblong platters of shrimp awash in piquant red or green salsa and shingled with avocado slices — alongside classic Bajan fried-fish tacos and a Tijuana-style beef birria that emphasized a rich consomé served with a stack of already-dipped tortillas for a DIY taco feast. The familiar chilorio, porky beans, and machaca with eggs appeared on the steam-table menu as well, but this edition of Mi Dulce was short lived and Rodriguez departed a few weeks later." - Robert Sietsema
