Wa Kumiai Tabita. Real Food, Worth the Trip
I arrived at 1 p.m. on a Sunday, and they were already running out of some food. Makes sense, they open at 8 a.m., and now I know why people get there early. It was my first time, and I’m already thinking about going back.
I tasted Borrego Birria, chilaquiles, and Menudo Rojo. Food was hot, rich in flavor, and didn’t need anything extra. I barely added salsa. The food wasn’t spicy, just really well made. The flour tortillas were handmade, big, and perfect with the meal.
No alcohol here, but plenty of drinks. Good service. Everything is outdoors. Dirt floor, small wooden tables, nothing fancy. There were flies, but they had those little spinning fans on the tables to help with that.
It was a hot day, but I was in the shade and it felt fine. The place is out in the middle of nowhere, but that’s part of the beauty of it. You see locals eating there, and that says a lot. I’ll be back, and next time I’m bringing friends.
If you’re into traditional food and don’t mind being a little off the grid, this place is worth it. Go early. Eat well. That’s it. And no phone signal
