"I wanted to try this place before. It is attached to the side of a Mexican grocery store, and we discovered it when we searched for Cotija cheese for a recipe that we did a year ago or so. It was unfortunately closed for the month, since the cook back to Mexico for several weeks to visit family. We finally made it again, once again needed Cotija cheese and have empty stomachs, and we really enjoyed what we tried. We started with a tamale and it was huge and was filled with large pieces of pork, not spoiling mysterious meat, and a real amount of masa. It was wrapped in a big banana leaf. We also shared a beef taco and it was simply presented, only with cilantro and onion-so fresh tasting and authentic with a squeeze of lime over the top. Then we ordered two entrees that she ordered the Camarones de Acapulquenos, and I had the Flautas de Pollo. You can only say that this is really Mexican food. Eating here is like eating in your friends childhood home in Central Mexico, and enjoy family recipes distributed for generations! The food is just done right, and is not Tex-Mex or anywhere near. Don't get me wrong, I grew up on Tex-Mex, but it's nice to have a real piece of Mexico here in Pensacola. If you are looking for chips and salsa, with cheese dip, this will not be your place. I think you'll be glad you did. It is clean and well kept, and go next door and look around all the great foods they wear. -B"
