This colorful little storefront done up with intensely blue and yellow tablecloths, and decorated with black ceramic handicrafts from the southern state of Oaxaca, does a nice job with all the standards. The tacos, in particular, are exceptional, full of fresh flavors and high-quality meat and produce. The house version, smoky jalapeno-marinated pork, is zesty and tender; carnitas (fried pork pieces) are admirably juicy; even the vegetarian version (cabbage, mushrooms, and spinach) is commendable. And the wonderfully fresh and fragrant salsa fresca makes the perfect condiment.
