OMG that bowl I got was so güd.
Did not expect it
So good! Elote is amazing, tamales are huge and lots of meat, tacos are excellent and overstuffed! Don't forget their tortillas are made fresh and they grind the corn 🌽
Steak taco was delicious. Probably my favorite in town -- check my other reviews to see I've eaten a LOT of asada tacos around town. $6 for one taco, so more than other places around town, buuuut it was tasty as was the sauce/salsa that came with it. Plenty of meat filling that wasn't overly fatty or gristly.
Pork tamale was okay. Could've used some more flavor IMO. Plenty of meat in the tamale, too.
