I got a shredded beef huarache (minus the dairy) and a taco de lengua. The huarache alone was plenty of food - I just wanted to try two dishes because I had the suspicion it was going to be really good - and it was. Both dishes absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked moist tender meat. I will be back here next chance I get!
