I
thought
this
was
a
very
incredible
experience
to
have,
and
glad
I
was
able
to
enjoy
a
meal
here.
We
went
right
before
they
opened
at
10:30
am
and
were
able
to
be
seated.
Had
we
come
later,
we
couldnât
have
sat
until
the
next
seating
at
12:15.
The
manager
was
very
nice
and
had
perfect
English,
and
asked
us
about
dietary
restrictions,
which
we
didnât
have
any.
The
proprietor,
Jesus,
led
us
on
a
culinary
adventure
full
of
nostalgia
and
unique
stories
from
his
childhood
along
with
a
dose
of
Mexican
history.
Fortunately
for
us,
most
of
the
tables
spoke
English
and
he
gave
the
spiel
in
our
language,
so
we
could
understand
everything.
Thereâs
no
menu
or
pricing
and
itâs
cash
only.
The
kitchen
sends
out
courses
of
food
centered
around
corn
and
ingredients
thoughtfully
sourced
from
friends
and
long-term
vendors
he
trusts.
Everything
was
fresh
and
delicious.
You
can
say
stop
at
anytime
and
they
will
only
charge
you
for
what
was
served.
The
food
was
not
overly
fancy,
and
you
were
encouraged
to
eat
with
your
hands.
It
was
all
very
good,
very
interesting,
and
very
amusing.
This
wasnât
a
precious
fine-dining
experience
but
more
like
a
rustic
adventure
focused
on
highlighting
homely
ingredients,
dishes,
and
preparations.
I
didnât
go
in
with
any
real
expectations
so
I
was
surprised
at
how
interactive
and
entertaining
it
was.
We
misjudged
how
much
it
would
cost
since
it
wasnât
posted
anywhere,
and
mostly
because
we
said
âyesâ
to
every
single
dish
&
drink
he
offered,
so
we
ended
up
paying
partially
with
dollars
and
pesos,
which
I
was
so
relieved
they
accepted.
We
had
all
the
offerings
of
food
plus
several
desserts;
tea,
kombucha,
pulque,
aguafresca,
coffee,
etc.
it
was
1,900
pesos
for
both
of
us.
It
was
a
heartwarming
meal
full
of
laughs
and
stories
that
was
much
more
meaningful
in
comparison
to
all
of
the
snooty
fine
dining
food
we
had
on
the
trip.
Again,
the
food
was
not
fancy,
so
donât
overhype
the
cuisine
and
your
expectations
for
something
really
high-end,
upscale,
and
modern.
Itâs
the
antithesis
of
that
actually.
I
enjoyed
myself
very
much
and
it
stood
out
as
a
highlight
of
our
trip
for
being
so
authentic
and
inclusive.
It
feels
like
a
lot
of
native
locals
might
be
annoyed
at
the
fact
they
cater
a
lot
to
foreigners
or
something,
and
I
can
see
why..
if
you
only
spoke
Spanish
and
had
this
experience,
and
it
was
in
English,
that
could
be
really
disappointingâ
but
he
did
his
best
to
cater
to
us
all!
Of
7
groups
during
my
seating,
only
one
was
native
Spanish
speaking,
all
the
rest
seemed
to
be
American.
(I
wouldnât
personally
suggest
bringing
kids,
they
wonât
have
the
attention
to
appreciate
the
experience
and
could
be
disruptive
to
others
trying
to
enjoy/listen).
He
said
we
are
all
family
now,
and
I
believe
that.
I
would
be
very
happy
to
come
again
and
I
liked
all
the
food
very
much,
especially
the
huitlacoche
and
pork!
