Hands down the best Mexican food in LA. I have been here plenty, but came with my dearest foodie and we were both blown away by the flavorful variety we ordered.
Carnitas Burrito: drenched in green sauce, succulent carnitas, melted cheese, inside a ginormous flour tortilla. Stuffed in presentation and you will leave stuffed.
Guacamole: a whole art form. A cook and master of cuisine art prepares the guacamole before your eyes--it is by far the best guacamole at any Mexican restaurant in all of LA--but ask for the appetizer version, as the side of guacamole is premade overnight (still good, though).
The quesadilla: Am I allowed to say my favorite item on the menu is a quesadilla, because it is. Monterrey cheese, with your choice of meat, and a side of guacamole. Melted cheese oozing out from every corner of the large flour tortilla. Divine!
Chile Relleno: Panela cheese inside a roasted Poblano green chile, topped with salsa de rajas.
Just like my grandma used to make them!
The Nachos! Omg. Best appetizer on the whole menu. Freshly-made chips, barbacoa, melted Monterey cheese, guacamole, refried beans, drenched in red salsa--you can order this as your meal--you definitely get your money's worth.
Horchata: I am Mexican, so I am very picky about my Horchata, almost elitist--this freshly-made Horchata will transport you to a sunny day in Puebla; you can taste the rice beans infused into this sweet, refreshing drink. A must-order.
The ambiance? Festive, from the smiling servers, the tipsy guests relishing in Margaritas and delicious meals, to the wall-art, featuring Mexican greats such as Antonio Aguilar and Frida Kahlo. A 5/5 experience from beginning to end.
