I stumbled on this place on a stroll from Basilica Concepcion de Nuestra Señora to Retiro park and decided to quell the Mexican food craving.
It's a clean little cafe with the kitchen in the middle. They have outdoor seating on the sidewalk, and in summer the front facade opens to bring the outdoors inside. I was greeted by a polite energetic server who guided me through the menu.
The Nachos Braseados were delicious! Thick house made tortilla chips, covered in shredded cheese, fresh tomatoes, onion, cilantro, guacamole, anda couple of jalapeños if you like it spicy. The guacamole left something to be desired, (zesty, but pre-made and over-salted I think). Otherwise delicious nachos, with a yummy smokey undertone.
The tacos Mexicanos are a plate full of ingredients that you assemble as you please. I love build your own food because I like variety and you can make each bite different. You get a tray of 5-6 small tortillas, a cup of lightly seasoned shredded barbacoa meat, a cup of Pico de gallo salsa, a cup of guacamole, and a dose of Chipotle sauce. The meat was good, with a little fat to keep it rich. Go easy on the smokey Chipotle sauce, unless you like it spicy. Ole'!!
I was pleasantly surprised by finding this place. If I'm in the area, I'll stop in again. read more
