With Chile Verde sadly just closing the other day, I kind of wanted Mexican and crossed the street to this. It's tucked away in a small strip mall, doesn't look like much from the outside. Doesn't look like much on the inside either. It's nice enough, orange walls, clean, maybe slightly run down.
Posole sounded good on a very cold day. So I got that, and a birria taco, because birria is all the rage. Chips came out first, decent chips with a very thin, just OK salsa. The taco was pretty good, although I think birria is a bit overhyped. Tender meat, not a whole lot of flavor, for birria in general and this particular version. Cheese and a nice shell. The posole was amazing. Loads of meat, radishes and cabbage, I think, and other things in the very, very tasty, very slightly spicy broth. Some other veggies on the side along with crispy tortillas. Not as much hominy as I usually see in posole, but enough, and the combination of flavors and textures was wonderful. Just excellent, and I was very disappointed to reach the bottom of the pretty big bowl.
Service was great. Prices are good for the quality and quality. I forgot about the consommé, but I already had a soup so... Service and posole five stars. Chips and salsa and ambience three stars. Taco three or four stars. I am a person who prefers really good food over ambience- and this place is not bad looking or feeling, don't get me wrong. They have an extensive menu, with lots of stuff I want to try. I will definitely be back.
