Yum! Very good, excellent food & flavor.

OK - so the place is a bit worn, but it's cozy and authentic looking, and sometimes that's a plus. What's most important is what's going on in the kitchen, and apparently this place has it going on. I ordered carnitas and my friends ordered combo plates, each with soft tacos, rice and cheese-smothered refried beans. When they brought out my plate I was shocked. Nearly half of the large oval platter (too big to be called a plate) was covered with succulent, juicy roasted pork, rice, beans, pico de gallo and guacamole. The carnitas were simply amazing - not dry, not too fatty but just right. And not too salty or bland - also just right. I will definitely go back again!
