UPDATE: I heard this place is gone and has been replaced by a Fresh Market. Sad. Hopefully I can find out where they moved to. This little gem is hidden inside Viva Market so don't get lost looking for an individual location. This has become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in town, and it's inside a grocery store. A little different but oh so worth it. Everything looks and tastes fresh. The food reminds me of a small family restaurant I would find in Mexico. Maybe because it is run by a family from Mexico. Even the corn tortillas are handmade. I have yet to try the whole menu but everything I've tried is excellent. One of my favorites is the chile relleno taco which is a small chile relleno on a bed of refried beans and spanish rice. The caldo de res is very good and very fresh. They have great agua frescas, like the agua de limon (lime) which was delicious. Also reminded me of the homemade ice treats in Mexico. My dad's way picky about his Mexican food too and so far he's liked everything. They also have a variety of tacos and tortas with interesting combinations, which I will meticulously try off the list. I've recently tried the Torta Cubana. This is heavy and huge. Might be best for those working on the docks or doing construction all day. I'm sure it's packed with calories. I felt a little guilty afterwards and left with a slight case of food coma. Very tasty but not a fan of the half grilled hot dogs. It's not necessarily a place to take a first time date but you really have to try this place at least once. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is it's strange location. But I guess you can kill two birds with one stone and shop for groceries after you eat. The staff is very friendly. Buen provecho! (Pics included)
