“Buttery, silky, and dripping with flavor. It's little slices of meat butter that just disappear as soon as they touch your tongue. A party in your mouth. Then they chop that steak up and smother it in guac on a bed of cheese that melts into the tortilla, giving it a beautiful charred cheesy crust. It's making me want to get up and dance.”

Dishes mentioned
Black Angus Picanha Trompo
The black Angus picanha trompo spins in front of the flame, charred and blistered with caramelized edges. The fat is perfectly rendered and the salsa cuts through magically. Then they chop it up and smother it in guac on a bed of cheese that melts into the tortilla, giving it a beautiful charred cheesy crust. It's some of the best food I've had on the channel.
Tuna Tostada
A crisp shattering base topped with glistening jewel-like spicy tuna. I put that salsa on and it's thumbs up, welcome to flavor town. Every single place I go to, I say this is my favorite one, and it's happening again.
Snapper al Pastor
It's snapper al pastor, with that beautiful adobo marinade, pineapple, pickled onions, coriander, and a squeeze of lime. I've just ordered another one of those. It is that good. I love how they serve you one at a time so you can enjoy each one fresh.
Wagyu Taco
Buttery, silky, and dripping with flavor. It's little slices of meat butter that just disappear as soon as they touch your tongue. A party in your mouth. Then they chop that steak up and smother it in guac on a bed of cheese that melts into the tortilla, giving it a beautiful charred cheesy crust. It's making me want to get up and dance.
Suckling Pig and Chicharrón
This is just unbelievable. The amount of things going on. You've got the saltiness and the crispiness of the chicharrón layered on top of the cheek. We found an absolute diamond in this place.
