Seriously! It's authentic (which a cursory glance through these reviews will corroborate) and I haven't had a meal I didn't love from here. You know how everyone has their go-to restraunt? Well this one is mine.
In particular, the huevos con chorizo and the bistec mexicana are some of my favorite meals. And ohmygod their tortillas are so soft and flavorful. I also like to get an extra side of plantains. Side note: plantains, in general, are so underrated.
When you order they have a green and red sauce to put on your food. The green sauce is like liquid guacamole and the red sauce is a spicy mouthgasm. I could honestly drink them both if it were socially acceptable. I may, or may not, have tried doing that on my own 👀. 10/10 would give away my first born child to have the recipe for these sauces.
Most of the time I eat here, I order to go. They don't have a great track record of getting the order right if you order your meal differently (eg., ask for no sour cream or for extra sauce). But I just make sure I reiterate any special instructions and ask for extra sauce cups when I go to pick it up and I rarely have problems anymore. The food is also so good that they could honestly completely screw it up and I'd happily eat it anyway. Bonus points: its very inexpensive!!!
I'm also 99% sure the chicken soup can cure cancer. (But I'm not a doctor, so what do I know?)
Okay, now I'm hungry for La Tienda!
