El Camino. Food was very good. just very expensive for quantity. Quality trumps all though.

On the order:

To share with a few friends:

Wings - mildly spicy and sweet, these wings are very lightly fried and plump. These things are drenched in sauce that is absolutely delicious.

Papas Choriadas- Amazing. It's like a poutine and the paprika sauce was so good. The feta gave it a nice aged flavor.

Bowl of mussles - Good. I'm not a big fan of mussels but the flavoring of the sauce was delicate and green. couldn't put a finger on the flavors. I guess they made the sauce a bit less powerful as to not overpower the mussels

corn chips - house made and fresh. paired with salsa and guac. These are legit fried corn chips. Super crispy and thick. Great for scooping up that salsa. Guac was thick and smooth, they don't cheap out on the avocados, salsa was thick and full of fresh tomato puree and spices. I added extra hot sauce to it for extra zing.

For myself:

Two orders of tacos, each order has two tacos which for me is pretty much a one-biter. around 6-8 dollars per order depending on selection and what you want to fill the tacos with.

Al pastor tacos - sweet and savoury pulled pork topped with some rough-cut cucumber salsa. The sauce was just dripping out of the taco. Pulled pork was so tender it was essentially melting out of the taco.

Carne Asada taco - Steak slices in a taco drizzed with some white sawce and stood beside a wad of guac. Juicy and fills your mouth with orgasmic flavor. Not sure if I came first or the taco in my mouth that exploded with juicy bits.

Ended it with Churros to share. Can't say anything bad, it's powdered brown sugar on fried dough. Fresh and all that sweet yumminess had a chocolate sauce to pair it with. Nothing ground breaking. They give you 4 to share.

Total damage: $50 on my end because I spilled my friend's beer. This place needs some better fucking beer glasses, God damn it. The foot of the glass is smaller than the bowl of the glass, poor fuckin' design 2/10.

Otherwise the restaurant is pretty damn amazing. I give it a solid 9/10. There's a waitress in there that's super cute. Reminds me of Sasha Grey.
