How does a Mexican place stand out against the preponderance of excellent taquerias? Paint everything bright yellow and slap an animated chile pepper on the façade, that’s how. The motto “Respect Your Hood” greets diners from above the door frame, too. But there’s substance to equal the
style: the considerable menu boasts excellent fish and potato tacos, sopes, and tremendous platos of carnitas, carne asada and chile verde. Vegetarian options are equally flavorful. Be careful: Many can’t help but load up on the amazingly fresh chips, salsa and guac.
