    Worth the visit. Among the best Mexican ever. Not your cheap Mexican, but not expensive either. Special place- looking forward to returning.

    Must order the fried oysters and cow tongue taco! Try the mole de piaxtla for entree. Chocolate adds interesting flavor to the dish!

    Find an entree, and order it as an appetizer, my suggestion is the skirt steak. And load up on desserts too!

    Enchiladas! Mole, salsa Verde. So great. Go beyond the Guacamole, the other apps blew my mind. Tres Leche is king here

    The mole sauce is very interesting; the guac is on the expensive side. The eggs for brunch are fantastic
