The service wasn't that great, as it took a while for us to get served, and our waitress wasn't the most friendly but despite that, I will definitely be heading back.
I started off with a cucumber margarita that was too salty (even for me!), but the flavour was good. I think next time I'll have to go classic though.

As soon as the first lot of food came, and misgivings we had were gone. Our first course consisted of:
Mixed empanadas (corn pastries filled with a variety of fillings)
These managed to avoid being oily, but still crispy on the outside and both fillings were really great.

Chicken flautas (rolled tortillas deep fried) & Queso frito (breaded & fried chihuahua cheese)
The flautas & the queso frito were the best I've had, but nothing can top that green tomatillo salsa - if they bottled it, I'd buy it by the caseload! The cheese was served with tortillas which were the perfect tool to mop it up!

We luckily had a bit of a break before the Pollo con Mole & Arrachera tacos came out. The chicken, cooked in the delicious mole sauce was amazing, but I've never tasted anything like that beef. Marinated in beer, onion & garlic is the new way I'm cooking beef! The only way to describe it is that it was like butter. It melted in the mouth, and we didn't even want to top it with the tomatillo salsa, to make sure it was all we could taste.

For two girls who always find stomach space for dessert, we gave it a pass. Both because we were already full enough, but more so that beef was the last thing we ate!
I'll definitely be heading back, to try more of the menu, but to make sure I can introduce more people to that salsa & arrachera!
