General Info
This neighborhood restaurant specializes in regional classics like sopes surtidos - an addictive set of corn masa boats stuffed with chicken, sweet plantain and black beans - and specialties such as salmon a la poblana. The chilaquiles vegetarianos, a slow-simmered, melt-in-your-mouth tortilla casserole is light and buttery, sort of like a fancier version of soft nachos (we love the homemade sour cream). The lunch menu is a bit less expensive, with the camarones en mole verde (grilled tiger shrimp in green pumpkin seed mole) and enchiladas with shredded chicken being standouts.
