It is true!

My wife and I shared some items including the Fish Taco, Steak Taco, The Anaheim Chile Taco, The Burger the Black Beans, and Jicama.

I thought the fish taco was the best I've had on the east coast. The only thing was that it was on a flour tortilla instead of traditional corn. However, the tortilla taste and consistency were very good. You could tell they were made with manteca.

We originally asked for the shrimp taco(which they would've grilled) in place of the steak, but our waitress let us know that the steak was grilled over mesquite that night and we had to get it. It was very good, and the mesquite taste was pretty strong, which I like. The steak was juicy and the salsa was a good match.

The anaheim chile taco is something I haven't had before. I've had roasted chiles but never in a taco. It was a treat. It came with melted cheese inside and salsa as well as sour cream. It wasn't very spicy but just right. It was an entire roasted anaheim chile

As for the burger, wow. All I can say is, I want another one. It wasn't huge, but it was full of flavor. It had 2 patties with cheese on each, and it came with sauces and veggies, all on a toasted bun. This was very good...

The black beans were good and they had queso fresco on top. They weren't bad or anything, just normal black beans.

The Jicama was good though. I liked the light and tangy taste. It was prepared with some kind of white sauce and some lime. I really liked this because I've had and enjoyed Jicama before. My wife liked it ok but was unfamiliar with Jicama, so she didn't appreciate it as much.

I'll definitely be back. We went pretty late, 10 PM on a Saturday, and they were still open. Not many people were there, but I guess it's there first weekend open.

Thanks for the review, I'm checking it out tonight. Maybe I'll ask for the shrimp grilled.

How about ginger, honey and soy? I always smoke ribs but once I ground up some star anise into my rub. It was great, but only if you like the taste of black licorice. I obviously used too much because I'm kinda new at experimenting with Asian flavors, but hey I loved them.

On any of these layovers, do they give you a hard time about leaving the airport and coming back in?

mm Smoked Marlin is delicious. I just got back from Mazatlan. Most restaurants in the touristy areas are mediocre like most have pointed out. Panama is a different story though. They have smoked marlin quesadillas that are incredible. Their menu is extensive and in the course of a week I ate there 4 times and liked everything I had. The quesadillas de marlin were my favorite along with the tamales de requeson and chile de queso.

I hadn't seen this board before so I went on the recommendation of a friend from Mochis. I loved Mazatlan and loved that restaurant. I've lived in Mexico and eaten Mexican food for many years, and this is some of the best I've had.

I also had the pay de queso y guayaba. The texture was very different for me to enjoy but my wife liked it a lot.
