💡 Tips before you go
- Order a mezcal to start, as it pairs perfectly with the spicy grilled meats served here.
- Ask for extra lime wedges on the side, because the citrus is essential to cutting through the rich guacamole.
- Save room for churros con chocolate at the end of your meal, as they are often fresher when ordered directly from the kitchen.
