she is always taking care of me oh it's the fresh [ __ ] we love surprises
we're in good hands so cheers
well we're about to find out that this is going to be a hidden gem yeah that's that's actually
what came out are some of these nice chips and salsa absolutely and it looks like it's a in-house
salsa homemade and of course if they taste it and it comes out on this table that means it's
approved by the chef stamp all right let's let's give it a taste shall we try this
let's give it up come on all of us grab a chip and dip there might be a spicy one
there might be a medium one i'm not sure but all right well this is a surprise well now
oh don't have a spicy one a little bit not too much i think we hit a spicy one definitely
i said why is it i like it good though i like it i love the name of this place too
look at that but this is wonderful i mean you definitely have the kick you know from the salsa
it has um i like the runny side of it which means it's really kind of fresh versus that
tomato oh yeah texture as you get the chocolate chunks right real chip is really nice too
what do you think dave i think it's great it's really fresh i mean oh hey everybody
it tastes really fresh i mean i agree with you just uh just the fact it's homemade is amazing
just really good and uh you can really tell the difference between homemade and kind of that
store-bought absolutely i agree with that really good i love the kick on it and the kick right
so brian tell us same thing i like uh you know before a meal i want something light
not a big fan i i appreciate but not a big fan of like chunky chunky sauces oh my goodness oh boys
okay you gotta tell us tell us a little bit about what is in this
uh deliciousness a soup it's a mexican soup it's traditional and one from guadalajara
and uh it's carne and sukubo thank you very much
wow and this is an item i've never had wow
yeah i know so this is really really a treat i mean it's just
that's what we love coming to the place
it's got the rich little the beans in there you got the little pieces of of beef in there
you love that with the uh the onions yeah the radishes it's got oh and of course the pepper
pepper that take a bite out of that that's going to be trouble ready let's do it let's do it
okay you want to start dave i think you should stop this all right
i think this is absolutely delicious i mean every texture
from this dish hits your mouth the the broth which is a really nice broth the beef just kind of
kind of brings it all together with the radish and of course that spicy cake and the cilantro no it's
so good really brings it on home i absolutely think it's nice and there's a nice amount of
portions of both there's no chins in the beef the beans avocado i think it's really wonderful
so what do you think brian she's like you're kind of finishing that thing right up i
am going i am going at it i agree with everything you said about the textures
um this is what fresh tastes like this is what fresh tastes like you know and i think we've all
had stuff that wasn't fresh we've had canned stuff we've had there's there's a substantial difference
when you taste something that's absolutely 100 fresh you really taste the beef in it too as well
just a really really rich dish it's amazing i could just have this for a meal
exactly a nice big pot of this with some of those nice corn tortillas oh yeah
oh my god oh my god
wow i'll tell you it was an interesting surprise
the second dish coming up it's actually a fish and they call it brian i want to hear what you
think because you're really diving into that one i mean you already got down to the bone
i'm loving it gonna get past the cliche you know when people say like oh that's too fishy
this is just flaky it's not too fishy uh head on tail on everything almost looks like it's like
some sort of like deep fried because the skin on the outside right is really tasty and we each got
like a variety i mean you've got one that's more of a peppery like little shrimp all shrimp based
but then you're on top but then i had something with a little bit more of a pineapple cake there
and dave yeah mine's more of a garlic flavor smell that rich aroma right oh yeah here we go
that's the way to eat it yeah blend it all together that's the way to have it really good
it's really nice with just all the the fixings
there's all the fixings in there it kind of blends it all together
and that's really good too right so there's like a a lot of limon or lime um it's really
interesting kind of because of that bite yeah i like the size isn't that really nice so it
tastes now you're working that fish i don't know where this little guy came from but yeah
but we know where he's going so brian what do we have next well this uh from vanessa the owner's
mouth this is what people come for so i'm really excited about this these are two different types
of enchiladas two different sauces but uh you have your traditional mole poblano which is the
the darker sauce and then you have a green uh mole so done two different ways but again this is uh
from vanessa's mouth this is what people come for and this is what makes them feel like they're back
home oh i love that i'm excited all right here we go all right guys okay ready one two three
it's incredible yeah but it's funny you think i think chocolate i think it's gonna float like be
so chocolatey but it's not the same type of kind of
strong chocolate um exactly it's more of a hint of it that actually works
really really well it's just an amazing sauce there's like a smoky flavor in there yeah
so
okay
so we wrap things up with a delicious mexican coffee and three desserts mexican flan fried
ice cream and of course chocolate filled churros you know it's meals like these and
