One of the best seafoods ive tried nice and fresh. Soups are amazing. Service is quick. Food is fresh, the spot is super clean. Everything in the menu is at least a 8/10. This place rocks.

Sopes
Fried Pork Burrito
Pasta Di Mare
Located along the Washington Avenue strip is a local restaurant that specializes in authentic Mexican cuisine.
The colorful, lively atmosphere is impressive and adorned with lots of wall art; even the booths have attractive decorations.
Horchata:
It was hard to make a choice, but I decided to explore the horchata. This refreshing drink with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla hit the spot!
Tortilla Chips with Salsa:
Prior to the main course, I was chowing down on delicious tortilla chips with homemade salsa. If you enjoy tortilla chips, you are going to love what’s next.
Sopes:
These open face corn tortillas have a crunchy bottom. Hidden underneath the sour cream and cilantro are proteins. A few of the meat options are Mexican sausage, steak, or pork.
Don’t be shy with the green sauce if you want an extra kick or squeeze some lemon if you prefer a bright, tangy flavor.
Fried Pork Burrito:
All of the toppings are packed into a 12-inch flour tortilla. This looks so beautiful I was in awe by its appearance alone. It is filled with fried pork, rice, beans, guacamole and all the other trimmings.
Pasta Di Mare:
As a bonus, this location also sells Italian dishes.
Do you “see” all of this seafood? Check out the variety of marine life including calamari, mussels, clams, and shrimp over linguine.
All of this classic marine life is served over linguine.
Also included Is a side of garlic bread. If you want some extra flavor, feel free to dunk away.
It was truly an authentic experience dining in this Mexican restaurant.

The service was incredibly friendly, the food was truly authentic. Guacamole was so fresh and right on the spot. The price was very reasonable considering the quality and the quantity of the food. I’d definitely visit again. All my friends loved the food!! Highly recommend this place 🙂

Food was not warm, even the grilled vegetables that was served with Tacos. Service was slow….. We asked a person(who was serving us) to pack my leftover and she took forever to get my back and do note they automatically charge 15% of gratitude for even 2 people.

We ordered take out, but the restaurant was kept very clean and the inside was so cozy and colorful. All of the staff were super nice and they were quick on their feet. We ordered carne asada street tacos and they were well worth it— and the price was more than reasonable for the quantity. Amazing tender beef with the perfect amount of cilantro and onion. I was a little worried when they said guacamole came on the tacos, but I’m glad I didn’t request they take it off because it was so good. Both their red and green tamatillo sauces are also amazing and added so much flavor and spice to the tacos. ALSO— don’t worry about asking for extra limes for your tacos (most places don’t give you enough), but we were given so many slices with the order that we have a ton left over. 1,000% will be coming back here.
