“tehir horchata is creamy perfection with real cinnamon and vanilla notes - like drinking liquid comfort and it pairs so good with their churros”

“ok but no espresso drinks on the menu which sucks when you want that caffeine wiht your meal”

“their mole is like legit complex - layers of chocolate chilies and spices that build as you eat it kinda like a good bolognese. reminds me that sauce making is universal”

“lowkey those flour tortillas tho are clearly store bought adn reheated where's the hand stretching that makes fresh tortillas actually good chefs kiss”

“their carnitas tacos use slow cooked perfectly seasoned pork that's halal certified and the homemade salsas have that authentic kick you barely find in bay area mexican spots”

“limited halal protein options tho just carnitas and chicken wish they had more variety for people with dietary restrictions”

“teh contrast in their super burrito is insane - crispy outside then warm soft beans and rice inside with that perfect temperature thing that keeps it interesting soo good”

“guac had a grainy oxidized texture like it'd been sitting out too long instead of made fresh”

“i mean the grilled fish taco uses fresh white fish wiht lots of crisp cabbage adn pico de gallo - you can tell theyre using quality fresh ingredients and portions are satisfying wihtout being excessive lol”

“lowkey the chips seemed like theyd been sitting out for a while adn had lost their crispness WHICH was disappointing since fresh tortilla chips can make or break the start of a meal”

“the al pastor is legit - properly marinated pork with that perfect balance of sweet pineapple and smoky chiles served on fresh corn tortillas”

“the rice was underseasoned and kinda dry more like an afterthought than a proper mexican rice side”

“they were rly helpful about ingredients and assured me thier corn tortillas are gluten free plus they kept everything separate during prep. seriously actually aware of cross contamination issues which is great”

“def the salsa verde had this slightly gritty texture that made me wonder about the prep surfaces even tho they said it was just tomatillo seeds”
