My favorite Mexican joint, even if it is a lot pricier than El Torero, it’s worth it ’cause you actually for once what you went to eat: MEXICAN food, not melted cheddar cheese with guacamole and sour cream. Salud!

NMichelada and pomegranate margarita (strong!)

 

 

Guacamole En Molcajete: Dopest guacamole in town, no joke

 

Pasilla chile soup with grilled chicken, avocado, shredded cheese, crema and crispy tortilla strips = 10/10

 

Roasted bone marrow with garlic toast and chipotle-piloncillo sauce. So good you could cry.
