We started out our adventure with these delicious flautas. The outer shell was crispy and delicious, while the meat inside was a great soft tender contrast. They went by quickly and left most of us wanting more as there was only one for each of us but there was much more to experience.

Next up were the Tacos. Having never tried tongue before I decided today was a good day to start. They used Kobe beef tongue, which sounded like it would be great. Well, it was. The tacos came out simply presented with the salsa on the side. Each of us grabbed a taco and went to town. The meat was so tender and had a different yet wonderful texture. Mixed with the salsa, fresh cilantro, and onions I was floored. I’ve heard plenty of different reviews when it came to tongue but I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it to the extent in which I did.

Probably the biggest wild card of the night was some goat tacos with cactus. I had also never had goat but we were determined to take it to the limit and try a few well-known things and some new dishes. I started off trying a bit of just the goat and it was pretty good but not amazing, next some of the cactus stuff which was also ok, but when all the components were mixed together an amazing union exploded in my mouth and I enjoyed every second of it. Had I not tried all of the components together I would have missed out on one of the most exciting and amazing foods of the night.

This seemed like standard fare how could it go wrong? It didn’t really, but it was over shadowed by the other amazing foods Mexico DF offered. The meat was tender but the whole thing was overwhelmed by the fact it all tasted like a pineapple. It wasn’t bad and it was a pretty cool feeling to know you were eating pork, but it tasted like pineapple and just wasn’t as good as everything else.

The dish I personally ordered a safe bet no matter where you are. This was a solid dish, no surprises, nothing fancy, and a perfectly cooked steak. That being said you can get this experience from any other higher tier Mexican or steak restaurant. It was delicious, masterfully prepared, and presented but it had no surprises, which can always be just what you want.

I’ve had carnitas before but after this it felt like it all had been a lie my whole life. This was the hands down crowd favorite of the night. The meat was crispy and tender all in one. The flavor was intense and delicious. I could try and describe every delicious bite, but that would not do this dish justice and I believe it best if experienced in person.
