Editorial Review

Chef Raul Arreola (Frontera/Topolobampo and Chilpancingo), brings a hard to find authenticity to his Mexican fare to this tiny Lakeview corner spot. Dishes like tilapia tacos with avocado-serrano mayo and wood-grilled carne asada make up a menu that's at once classic and creative. Decor is minimal and the tables are cramped, but with moles laced with this much flavor you'll be seeing color where there isn't any. The menu changes monthly and don't even both trying to snag a table without a reservation.
