how did i not know about this place before?!? we ordered ceviche mixto, special uni tostada, tostada mixto, scallop taco, fish taco, chips and salsa. to accompany, we chose pineapple habanero (hot) and lemon habanero (hotter) salsas. they could’ve been hotter but they were oh so good. m dumped a whole lemon scoop in the ceviche and i slurped it all down to the last drop.

the uni tostada was money: that brininess of the uni with those pickles and the pineapple salsa. the green tomatillo sauce had nice heat but the puya (not guajillo) red sauce had a fruity/floral complexity to it that made it a standout. the chips came with a pico de gallo type salsa that wasn’t so much hot as full of flavor. let’s just say i wanted more of all the salsas. it’s true what they say: these are eastside tacos on the westside.

i couldn’t differentiate between the scallop and fish tacos. darn! i guess i’ll have to go back.
