“ quesabirria, second time I've tried it both times so flavorful not greasy like most the onion that accompany are delicious. Next to that fish rolled tacos also good. The salsa is made well. The drink coconut/pineapple respado. I never had one before I'll stick to the waters. Ordered one the last time I went and it was, pineapple water, not too sweet full of flavor. ”
