What a great little joint. We had to wait 25 minutes for a table (make reservations beforehand), but the food and service here were excellent. The food took a little bit too long to arrive, but we passed the time with great cocktails and unusual, organic microbrews.
I was impressed with my rustic-roll "torta" that had "carnitas" made of spiced jackfruit (what a clever idea! I wish more Mexican joints would use jackfruit or tvp). The "fish" tacos and carnitas tacos were also light, fresh and flavorful, and served in an authentic Mexican way: no cheese; no excessive salsas; no filler ingredients like avocado or beans. Just lettuce, tomatoes and carnitas/soy fish. My friend enjoyed his wrap, too.
The interior decor is decidedly independent and refreshing when most restaurants look similar. This is a good place to take a date.
My only gripes: there were no desserts (they're trying to add some to the menu); seating is highly limited; and the location is a bit shady, though there is parking available (including a small lot in the back) and lots of young people walking around, so it must be fairly safe.
