text: It is hard to compete with Gallo Blanco my wifes favorite restaurant in Phoenix and Otro the sister restaurant does not quite live up to its predecessor But it is still a solid choice and a good substitute if you live in the north central area like us nnSo far I have had the carne tacos carne torta and chicken enchiladas The first two feature very tasty and wellcooked carne and I especially liked the torta The torta comes with onions guac more of straight up avocado really and a killer aji aioli Simple and perfectly executed They also have very good chips and guac Again the guac is more chunky with solid avocado pieces but I do not mind that at all The margaritas hit the spot and I would expect nothing less from the Gallo Blancos Other nnMore recently I tried the enchiladas After I ordered my wife reminded me that she had gotten them before and was not a fan I have to say that I must agree There is no cheese on top which perhaps is the more sophisticated way to go but I could barely taste the cheese on the inside The tortilla itself was kind of soggy The sauce is more of a salsa somewhat spicy and fairly tasty but nothing to write home about The side of black beans was my favorite part They were very good but the beans should never be the best part of an entree in my humble opinion Latin Americans including my wife may take offense to that thoughnnOtro does not have the funky charm that Gallo does but it is coming along There is a mural on the outside wall of the adjacent building I noticed on this last trip that they added booths which makes it feel more put together nnOverall a good place to get some good fresh Mexican food and a wellmade margarita
