Came in the other day to try this place out. It is completely different
from anything else you'll find in the area. It's just the owner and
his wife, and they serve a wide variety of urban Mexican snacks. The
signature drink is a Clamato--clam and tomato juice base, with lots of
other spices, including a plum and salt based spice for the rim (I think
it's called chamago?). They load it up with all kinds of
ingredients--melon, jicama, peanuts, etc. It's a savory snack all by
itself, not so much a refreshing thirst quencher. Made with beer it's a Michelada. They serve it with Michelob Ultra (currently a
gift, until they get their liquor license), which would actually make
that beer drinkable.
I had a Clamato with the shrimp ceviche, a
dish the owner brought over from his other venture, TJ Baja Taco Shop,
that he sadly had to close. The ceviche is made fresh in front of you,
and you get a portion that would definitely be sharable for 2-4 people
with chips. Amazing flavor. There are lots of other unique things on
the menu, like loaded corn nachos and fruit plates, and they recently
introduced a sweet dessert line. Definitely worth trying.
