The menu features all the chain-Mexican staples from tacos to burritos (including breakfast varieties) to nachos to fajitas. There's a torta sandwich and chimichangas, shrimp cocktails and then birria, served as quesabirria tacos and ramen and something called "pizzabirria." That would be an 8-inch flour tortilla dipped in chile broth with cheese and beef. Desserts include flan with ice cream, an Oreo shake and a "churro delight" - churros with vanilla ice cream and chocolate stuffed into a cup.

These baked chalupas feature the ultimate combination of textures, flavors, and colors in one package with a distinctly Mexican flair. Cheesy, creamy, and comforting, they taste like a taco but also have a crunch that is not normally associated with the dish. Hearty toppings like shredded chicken, two types of cheese, avocados, salsa, and cilantro makes for a chalupa dish that feels refreshing and filling all at once.

Ceviche, which hails from Peru, features raw fish marinated in citrus juice for 20-30 minutes, while aguachile consists of seafood mixed with lime juice and served immediately, resulting in a different texture.

A good plate of Sinaloa-style aguachile starts with liquid hot peppers, lots of lime, and freshly butterflied, raw shrimp. The flavor and heat build like a strong corrido: dramatic and full of contrast, tension and release.

Shrimp tacos are a staple 'payday food,' but by optimizing the use of shrimp and enhancing flavor, they can be made more affordable.

Barbacoa, a traditional Mexican dish, is made with slow-braised beef and seasoned with ingredients like garlic, onion, and smoked chiles for a rich flavor.

In Mexico, traditional chasers for tequila include red sangrita or green verdita, but combining them yields a unique blended verdita margarita that's refreshing and flavorful.
