“I was pleasantly surprised as a Mexican 🇲🇽🙋🏻‍♀️person and from the DMV area. The sopes were so delicious. They’re definitely very modern, but tasted so good. My Mexican mom can’t even make this. My partner got the Tlayuda, which was so good. I got two tongue tacos, and one shrimp taco and I love both of them, but the shrimp one was the best. I also got a side of beans and rice. Overall would come back here.”
