SIRLOIN ORDER138 MXN
TACO LOCO166 MXN
COCONUT ICE CREAM105 MXN

Start with sirloin.
Leave room for coco.

My recommendations here are the orden de sirloin or Taco Loco. The photographed menu lists the sirloin order at 138 MXN and Taco Loco at 166 MXN. Taco Loco combines pastor, chuleta and arrachera with cheese in a flour tortilla; the menu also lists an order version at 186 MXN.

The coconut ice cream was excellent. You can find it as helado de coco on the dessert menu, at 105 MXN in my photo. These photos also show our table, the open kitchen, the dining room and the yellow-and-orange exterior, so you can recognize this branch when you arrive.
