Alicia Preston: Order the chimole de pavo (turkey in black mole, a.k.a. pavo en relleno negro), eat with plenty of fresh, tender, delicious tortillas that somebody's abuelita must make in back.
Laurie V: The signature dish, Poc Chuc, is great for any tastebuds. For the more adventurous, the turkey mole is delicious. The service here is absolutely outstanding!
Jenny: Poc chuc (pork), chimole de pavo (turkey in mole), appetizer platter. A little too salty but really tasty with the soft, thick homemade tortillas
