Reviews
Left questioning my spice tolerance and life choices.
First of all, the food? Aggressively flavorful. Like it didn’t ask permission. That plate pulled up and said, “We’re doing this.”
The tacos had that perfect combo of:
• “Grandma made this.”
• “But grandma is low-key dangerous.”
The pickled onions? Bright pink. Loud. Unapologetic. The kind of garnish that walks in like it pays rent.
The chicken was so juicy it needed its own liability insurance.
The tortillas? Not the dry, sad kind. These were “I respect myself” tortillas.
Atmosphere:
Industrial cool. Steel beams. Food hall energy. You can eat amazing tacos while pretending you’re in a Vice documentary about authentic street food.
Bonus points:
You can bring a date here and look cultured without actually knowing anything about Mexican regional cuisine. Just nod and say:
“Yeah, you can really taste the Yucatán influence.”
Overall:
If you leave hungry, that’s a personal failure.
Would absolutely go back.
Would absolutely order too much again.
Would absolutely pretend I can handle more heat than I can.
First impressions were
The guy at the counter looked like I was interrupting something more important to him. I asked if I could get the sauces on the side and he flatly explained that there are no modifications. I told him I didn’t want to chance there being something in the sauce that I couldn’t have. He blinked at me and stared so chance it I did.
We tried the pork tacos which weren’t bad but could have been done better. The come 2 to and order. The pork belly skin was not properly rendered and ate so sticky it stuck to my teeth. The tacos were generously filled but made it almost impossible to eat all components together. The sauces were bright and acidic which helped cut the fat off the protein.
Overall not bad but not sure I’ll try it again.
The portions were generous, the flavors were amazing, the meat had both tender and crispy qualities about it. The sauces they gave me each exploded with flavors… the Verde sauce they gave me was by a very long way the best Verde sauce I’ve ever had to date at any Mexican restaurant I’ve been to.
If I were to complain about something… it would be that it is pricey… my meal alone was $20 + tax… but the portions were large and I actually wasn’t able to finish my plate.
I wish I would have taken pictures so I gave you all I got… what’s left of my plate and the restaurant. LoL, sorry, I’ll do better next time.
