About
Since 1989, María and Juan Manuel Ramos have welcomed diners into their cozy restaurant. Everything is homemade -- even the tortillas -- the owners bring some of the ingredients back from Mexico to ensure that the food is of the highest quality. The enchilada de mole is delicious, as are the tacos filled with your choice of stuffing. The huge burrito comes with spicy sausage and egg, based on an old Mexican recipe. For dessert, the arroz con leche (rice pudding) is divine and comes with fresh vanilla and plump raisins, although I sometimes prefer the sweet, fried beignetlike buñuelos. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights fills the place with a youngish crowd; weekday nights, on the other hand, are quiet.
