Our Thoughts
Best of the Booth
The Carne Asada was the most expensive dish to make our Best $50, but we couldn’t leave it off. The sirloin is perfectly marinated, the sweet potato purée is…sweet, and the onions are just splendid. This is enough for two people to share and is tasty enough to warrant the high price. It’s also not spicy and would probably be a hit with the picky eaters on your team.
Rest of the Booth
We liked the Huarache de Champiñones; the thick huarache makes a sturdy vessel for these tasty mushrooms. The pea tendrils are a nice bit of flair, but the presence of beans and mushrooms might make this dish a skip for some folks in your group.
The Flan de Coco is a gluten-friendly pick, and a good one. The texture is perfect, the toasted coconut is marvelous, and the guava is bright. We were also surprised at how large the serving was for the price. But … you need to love guava, because you can definitely taste it.
