text: I asked my Phoenix friend to take me to the best Mexican restaurant in town and this is where he took me on my visit I am happy that he did I returned again during my trip This restaurant had everything I love excellent and inventive drinks delicious fresh chips with homemade salsas the verde sauce rules and among the best guac I have had and creative dishes in small portions that pay homage to the traditional Mexican menu My favorites were the Elote street corn which I think I could eat every meal for the rest of my life the chicken taco and the salad with grilled chicken apples mint and peanut sauce The sangria was the best white sangria I have had in any restaurantnnOne caveat to this rave review I did not care for the pork torta I do not like to eat a lot of bread and the sandwich was ridiculously huge and overwhelming Beneath the cavernous bread was a small portion of pork Perhaps it is my Tennessee sensibilities about pork or my Californian experience with carnitas but the pork was lackluster dry and tasted like that pork you get in a sandwich in the school cafeteria with the premixed sauce The restaurant should make torta sliders and add a generous portion of real carnitas to improve this dish see the Pastor at Taco Guild for an example nnOverall though it is hard to beat this experience the friendliness of the staff the excellent food and all of the options that left me wanting more
