From the local food press

Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • The taquitos may be the famous order, but the tamales have a strong claim on the table. Their masa tastes distinctly of corn, with generous fillings of beef, chicken or cheese rather than a thin strip tucked inside a thick layer of dough. Order a chicken tamale alongside the taquitos or the small mordiditas. The kitchen makes its own tortillas, and the India Street restaurant has a patio for eating them outside.
