I particularly enjoyed the ceviche, which featured large chunks of fish that were perfectly balanced with lime flavor. My son's chimichanga was quickly finished off. They also had three screens showing various sporting events, if that's what you’re into. It was nice to catch the final game of the World Series while I was there.

Be sure to try the Cochinita Pibil, also known as el Puerto pibil, which gained fame thanks to Johnny Depp in "Once Upon a Time in Mexico." This dish is a rare find in Mexican restaurants. It's a mouthwatering roasted pork served in a fantastic sauce that packs just the right amount of heat. The meal is complete with tortillas, rice, and beans. The house margaritas are excellent and pair perfectly with the chips and salsa.
