We started with the guacamole (of course) - no fancy-schmancy made-at-the-table overpriced guac, but good straightforward guac and chips at a reasonable price! Yum! Hubby ordered the enchiladas de camarones and was very pleased. They weren't drowned in cheese, just enough to taste good. I ordered the pollo mole poblano, something I haven't had in years! It was a good-sized half chicken breast with an absolutely excellent brown mole sauce. I could've licked the plate (but I have some table manners and refrained, lol)! We shared a michelada de tamarind (yeah, we're lightweights in the drinking department) and that was something different; I liked it more than he did, but I definitely liked it!

Nacho Plate: A must order if you visit. It's delicious and beautifully presented. It came with fresh tortilla chips, MASHED black beans, pico de gallo, pepper jack and cheddar cheese, avocado sauce, sour cream, and topped with jalapeƱo peppers.

Came here on a Saturday, very cool atmosphere. Ordered the steak tacos (my favorite) and fish tacos. For drinks we tried the Oaxaca express and the el mixteco margaritas as recommended by the waiter. El mixteco did not disappoint. It was sweet and strong at the same time.
