Description

La Quebradita offers a low-key ambiance that practically reeks of being in Mexico. The homespun space has an especially authentic feel during the daytime, when sunlight streams through wooden blinds onto vividly colored tablecloths; there's also a little outdoor dining patio in front. The restaurant is owned by Ecuadorian native Luis Aguirre, but his cooks are from Mexico, and they fling out fearless taco fillings such as terrific chicharrones (pork rinds) in hot sauce -- hot and crunchy. All the familiar Mexican comestibles are plated here, all at south-of-the-border prices. Don't miss the gordito, a fried tortilla bun stuffed with pork, refried pinto beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. The mole sauce is also notable, and on weekends the staff serves an exemplary menudo (beef tripe and hominy stew).
