I was looking for Mexican food around the Tenderloin in a Saturday. Most places near me did not open until 10 am, (even if hours on Yelp said they were open now). Anyway place was open, not Mexican but close enough. I ordered the panuchos de achiote. Kinda like a tostada with beans pork marinated in anatto (achiote). Really hit the spot. Service was good, I walked up to counter to order. Food came out fast and piping hot. Be careful with the hot sauce , it's super but goes well with the food.
The panuchos and cochinita are excellent, the best I've ever had in the US. The food is prepared with genuine care and respect for the cuisine, and the service is warm and friendly. Can't wait to go back!
