Mexicana Mama
Editorial Review
Lines longer than they are at the border for a table in this hallway-sized space with big, spicy flavor. Worth the wait, though. Chef Julieta Ballesteros serves creative twists on authentic Mexican cuisine tasty enough to resolve the immigration debate in immigrants' favor. Robust, fresh flavors, we especially like the chorizo and cheese, the amazing pollo con mole, and the mango avocado salad. Fruity margaritas to quench the fire. Que sabor!
