    Huaraches norteño (chorizo and grilled cactus on a large tortilla) — yummmm. I haven’t had something that delicious and original in a Mexican place in a while.

    This friendly and small cafe space serves some of the best Mexican food in town. Soulful and comforting, warm up with a plate of enchiladas picudas with cactus sauce. Homestyle-cooking inspires menu. Read more

    What’s good here? Everything. The food, the drinks, the service, the art, the patio, even the house tequila. That’s a rarity.

    After 1 bite of my torta, I exclaimed "holy shit that's fucking good". The bartender / waiter turned - "I know, right?". So, yeah, get the veggie/mushroom torta. Last bite was as good as the first.

    By far, they have the best (and biggest) tortas in town. They are located on Beacon Hill...just a few blocks from the light rail station.

    Call ahead to make sure they're open. Came at 8pm on a Friday night and they had closed early.
