I ordered the Chamorro, or Pork Shank. Crispy marinated pork shank served with red bean-chorizo chili and chipotle creamed spinach. It was huge and pretty delish.

Apparently, they’re also known for their fresh guacamole made table-side.

Overall, it was okay. Upscale? Maybe just the prices.

According to the website, the sope is about 270 Calories, which doesn’t mean much since I also had an all meat al pastor burito, two carne asada tacos, and an horchata. muahahaha.

You know it’s authentic when you have the grandmas in the back making the stuff. They’re also known for making their own tortillas. DELICIOUS.

these burritos come with choice of meat, beans, and rice.

Free chips and salsa are served while waiting. Their horchata is also pretty damn tasty.

Will be back again!
