Traditional Asturian food, which is generally rustic and hearty. They are apparently particularly noted for their cachopo, two veal fillets sandwiching Spanish ham and cheese, breaded and fried. I did not try it on that occasion, but did enjoy the eggplant moussaka and grilled beef. Very much a local's place, with local color, and very conveniently close to the historic center of the town.

Among the offerings are huaraches, quesadillas, hand-made guacamole with totopos, and of course a variety of tacos including one rich with chiplote, the cochinita with shredded pork, and one that makes use of a traditional mole sauce. Can't forget the floriqueso (aka queso fundido), mead with mushrooms, peppers, beans, and of course cheese. Of course, they serve beer and tequila, and with gusto, but my partner and I were attracted to the Jarritos sodas they had available -- they aren't very common at all in Europe.

The tacos was not cooked and was the worst meat I have ever tasted. I should have looked at the star rating before and maybe I would have thought a bit more. The staff were not even organised. The portions are far too small. I gave one star for effort. One Mexican restaurant to miss off the list.
