Reviews
I ordered the garlic shrimp tacos, and my mom ordered the pozole soup. The tacos were delicious and the pozole was too.
For desert we had the flan, which was amazingly sweet and nice to eat, and the churros, which were honestly a disappointment. The churros came with ice cream, so I assume they weren’t so heated as to melt it, but it’s something I usually like to eat hot.
The place is also surprisingly cheap too. We’ll worth the price
For food, we ordered the Zocalo quesadilla with chicken and the Michelin Guide recommended En Mole enchiladas with 2 enchiladas. We got complimentary chips with salsa and beans for the table. The chips and salsa were ok. Salsa was not too spicy.
The Zocalo quesadilla was anything but simple. It was more of a burrito – cheese, beans and chicken stuffed into a tortilla, which was then smothered in a delicious tasting cilantro based sauce. The whole thing was delicious but heavy. The sauce was everything on that plate. The accompanying rice and beans were just ok. The rice was a little dry.
The en mole enchiladas was also pretty big. The mole was very sweet, which I didn’t like. The enchiladas was fine but the sweet mole put me off. My husband liked it more than me so he ended up eating most of that plate and we took the quesadilla home.
Pricing wise, the restaurant is medium. There are some really pricey restaurants in the area, but these guys are more reasonable. Ambiance is bright, spacious and lavishly elegant. If you plan to drive, you will need to spend some time looking for parking. There is only metered street parking in the area.
We were seated right away, and the service throughout the evening was friendly and attentive. The steaks were juicy, tender, and full of flavor, and even the beans stood out — rich and well-seasoned.
Overall, a great dining experience that exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be back!
A drink, proudly bearing the Michelin Recommendation, which I took to mean divine sanction caught my attention. Alas, my expectations were betrayed. Whatever celestial palate had approved it must have done so during a moment of distraction, for I found it rather uninspired.
The food, however, redeemed the affair which was nothing short of edible poetry, a lively dance upon the tongue, though the portion, I must confess, seemed designed for a man of smaller ambitions. At least the ones we ordered.
Parking was an adventure of labyrinthine confusion, not unlike trying to find moral clarity in a Shakespearean subplot. And, dear heavens, I must report with dismay upon the men’s lavatory! Urinals without dividers! One is left to conduct one’s business shoulder to shoulder, as though comrades in a trench. Surely, civilization has advanced far enough to afford a modest partition between gentlemen.
Alas, I have but few pictures to commemorate the evening, a most grievous oversight on my part. The dim light, perhaps, conspired with the fine ceviche to distract me. Thus, I am left with mere memory and regret and that might be the most fitting souvenir of all. Am borrowing the first one.
