corn tortillas: freshly made in front of mah FACE. soft warm chewy.
rockfish ceviche: mmm raw fish cooked with lime juice. the key to my heart. spicy, with tiny melon chunks
Camarones and plantain: Smoky and light. you can't fuck up shrimp and although i hate bananas, the plantains were a nice compliment to the salty savory black beans. shrimp almost, but not overcooked. but its me and if i had it my way i'd eat everything raw.
Margaritas: i had two, by myself... i think i read all of 3 pages of my book.
Definitely mexican food with thought. something more than burritos. really busy fast-paced environment. i love sitting on the rail (i know, cooks aren't strippers) and watching the immaculate chaos of a kitchen. for a moment i felt bad for these kids, it was pushing 98 degrees on saturday. then i realized that i had a margarita, and continued my reluctant day off. i tipped my server well because i am so grateful that i'm not her today. :)
